Even though Phil Jackson is considering taking over the Knicks’ front office, Larry Brown said he was “miffed” to see Jackson initially talking to the Knicks about their coaching job. The Knicks first approached Jackson about replacing Mike Woodson according to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. Brown, the former Knicks coach, came to Woodson’s defense in an interview on...

Few know Carmelo Anthony as well as George Karl does. And Melo’s former coach wonders if Phil Jackson would keep Anthony if the Zen Master takes over the Knicks’ front office. ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd asked Karl if the Knicks keep Anthony while discussing Jackson potentially taking over the Knicks. “To me, when you ask me that question, I don’t think Melo is a...

But what happens if Phil doesn’t accept the job?Jackson is expected to inform the Knicks of his decision in the coming days. And as ESPN’s Chris Broussard reported on Monday morning, all signs point to him taking the job. But what if Phil gets cold feet? There is a theory out...

The Knicks refuse to act like a normal team. I want to go to bed, but this Phil Jackson stuff has me too irritated, so let's talk. Here are the kinds of things that went up on the internet Monday night from the local beat reporters: Berman and Isola . Both guys are parroting the speculation about Jackson potentially hiring Steve Kerr to coach the Knicks if he joins the front...

Well, the last part was, anyway. The Knicks got dumb and let the 76ers storm way ahead of them to start things Monday night. But because the Knicks have the firepower, and because the Sixers are losing savants, the game tipped the other way quickly. By the fourth quarter, it had turned into a delirious three-point bath that, like, Jackaroe said, was pretty pleasant to watch. On a night when...

The Knicks’ crusade to sink their claws back into my heart continues. Last night, the Knicks kept their faint playoff hopes alive with a 123-110 victory over the tank battalion formerly known as the Philadelphia 76′ers. Now losers of 17 straight, it’s clear as day that just about everyone on that roster would rather be […]

It seems like Carmelo Anthony has been through it all with Amar'e Stoudemire. He’s seen Stoudemire go through three knee surgeries, several months of rehab and setback after setback as a Knick. So maybe more than anyone else in the Knicks' locker room, Anthony loves what he's seen from Stoudemire of late. “He has been playing unbelievable,” Anthony said after Stoudemire...

J.R. Smith says he hasn’t been paying much attention to the reports linking Phil Jackson to the Knicks. “I’ve been watching the Golf Channel,” Smith said. “I don’t pay attention to that stuff.”But Smith does think Jackson’s presence can benefit the Knicks. The Hall of Fame coach is currently mulling an offer to join the team as president of...

Mike Woodson’s club continued its climb up the Eastern Conference standings on Monday with a win over the 76ers.The victory -- New York’s fourth straight -- moved the Knicks into sole possession of ninth place in the conference,...

Four straight!? The road was unnecessarily rocky, but the Knicks beat the 76ers in like 3.2 quarters, which is good. After horrid defense and forced shots let the Knicks fall behind by double-digits (to a *terrible* team) early, New York got its collective shit together to take over, fend off a comeback in the third quarter, then push the game out of hand early in the fourth quarter. On...

Uno, dos, tres! Three is the magic number — these erratic, gnarly Knickerbockers have strung together a miniature-sized streak of successes. Let’s ignore the fact that the consecutive victories came against a trio of inconsistent, (presently) non-playoff teams, and rejoice with the knowledge that the delightful eighth seed in the Eastern Conference is lingering a mere 3.5 games in...

New York enters play tonight just 3 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.A win over Philadelphia would give the Knicks sole...

J.R. Smith is a rare type of individual. He is the kind of NBA player to go from winning the 6th Man Year Award in his best season to date–to being one of the most underachieving players of the following season. There isn’t a better image of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the league, […]
