Rangers 4 Carolina 2: Putting Gomez on the top line certainly looked like a smart decision Wednesday. Gomez fed Jarmoir Jagr, helping him get nine shots and setting him up on both of his goals in the Rangers’ win. Chris Drury and Dan Girardi also scored for New York. The game was stopped midway through the second period after an ugly collision between Colton Orr and former Ranger Matt Cullen. Cullen took this worst of......

Lakers 95 Knicks 90: The light bulb has finally gone on for Isiah and he admitted after the game that “maybe we have the wrong guys starting right now.” Why it took this long to click is another question, but Sunday offered definitive proof that changes in the lineup need to be made. The Lakers cruised to a 70-45 lead and then had to hang on against a Knicks’ rally that happened with the unit......

That’s right Knicks fans, it was four years ago today that Isiah Thomas came to town and boldly stated, "My only goal is to win the N.B.A. championship. In my mind, everything else is failure." So, by his own standards, Isiah’s tenure has been a failure, but that only scratches the surface of the destruction he has wrought. In “celebration” of his anniversary, we present a Top-10 list of Isiah’s worst moves as President/GM of......

Knicks 94 Orlando 86: Eddy Curry may not be an All-Star, but he is the best player on the Knicks. Saturday Curry scored 27 as New York got a victory in Orlando. Curry was the highlight, but Isiah Thomas’ decision to play only eight players factored into the win as well. Surprisingly, Jerome James got the start, but Channing Fyre and David Lee had great games off of the bench. Coincidentally, Jared Jeffries never made......

Knicks 99 Lakers 94: Once again the Knicks showed the inability to take care of the basketball, but with Kobe Bryant suspended, the Lakers couldn’t take advantage. New York committed 21 turnovers, but enjoyed a 48-33 rebounding advantage and put also held LA to .44% from the field. Jared Jeffries was back in the starting lineup and responded with 14 points while Eddy Curry and Stephon Marbury added 27 and 22 points apiece. Atlanta 5......

Knicks 116 Miami 96: When the matchup at center is Jerome James vs. Shaq you wouldn’t expect the Knicks to come out on top, but thanks to Jamal Crawford they did. Crawford hit sixteen-straight shots on his way to 52 points as New York routed Miami. Besides the inspired play of Crawford, the Knicks finally made a lineup change. Jared Jeffries was sent to the bench and Channing Frye got the start. Jeffries only played......

Nets 91, Bulls 86: Things looked bleak for New Jersey until a late fourth-quarter run saved their bacon. Vince Carter and Jason Kidd helped them at the end, but if not for Bostjan Nachbar and Richard Jefferson, the Nets wouldn't have been within striking distance. Nachbar's in for some more time now that Nenad Krstic is gone for the season. He started Friday because Jason Collins had a strained back, and he tossed in 16......

Knicks 99, Blazers 81: When the Knicks win, they can usually thank Eddy Curry. The big man took congratulations again for leading the Knicks to a victory in Portland, their first on this five-game West Coast swing. After seeing his team drop games to the Suns, Clippers and Kings, Curry helped his team stop the bleeding by dumping 27. Jamal Crawford -- who, behind Curry, might be the most consistent Knick -- had 25. Knicks......

It is getting impossible to root for the Knicks anymore. The franchise is completely lost, stuck over the salary cap for the rest of the decade and playing uninspired basketball. Now we learn that the head coach is running the team like a mob boss, ordering his players to take out opponents. These are the facts we know at this point. George Karl and Isiah Thomas do not get along at all. Karl is a......

-Knicks 94, Hawks 82: Eddy Curry scored 20 points -- again -- and the Knicks took care of the injury-riddled Hawks at home. Josh Childress and Joe Johnson, Atlanta's leading scorer, missed the game. Nonetheless, the Knicks. Curry's streak of 20-plus point games, now at 11, is the longest since Patrick Ewing did it in the 1993-1994 season. His play and that of Jared Jeffries, who had 15 points in his first start this season,......

-Boston 97 New York 90: The Knicks dug themselves a seemingly insurmountable hole in the third quarter, yet almost escaped. Down 30 points, New York staged a furious comeback and had two possessions in the last minute of the game down only by three, but they couldn’t get the job done. Eddy Curry had another great game, scoring 30 points and David Lee added 14 points and 13 rebounds, but the Knicks defense was what......

In his infinite wisdom, James Dolan has declared that Isiah Thomas must show “measurable” progress to keep his job after this season. What exactly that means hasn’t been defined, but the question is; how can this team not improve on last season? The Knicks managed only 23 wins last year and seemed to use a different lineup every night. Larry Brown ruined his reputation as a great coach by sniping at his players in the......

-Brooklyn 3 Staten Island 0: Jacob Ruckle was dominant going eight innings while allowing only four hits and striking out ten as Brooklyn increased their division lead to two games. -Knicks Sign Jared Jeffries: Stop the presses, the Knicks added someone who plays defense! Sure it comes too late for Larry Brown and five years and $30 million just increases their salary cap woes, but this is actually a decent move by Isiah. Jeffries gives......

With the Pistons Championship firmly in the books, the offseason is now underway. The other 28 teams that stopped playing a long time ago have been feverishly preparing for next weeks draft for some time now. This draft figures to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory due to the flood of teenagers (a record 10 could potentially be drafted in the first round) and European big men that arent much older. This......
