The Knicks are going to have a shot at making some noise in the watered down Eastern Conference, and the Brooklyn Nets may very well be a playoff team as well.
I'm not naive or stupid enough to think the Knicks are better without Amar'e Stoudemire, but they can be successful with him out of the lineup.
The Knicks will be without forward Amar'e Stoudemire for longer than expected.
The Nets' much-hyped regular-season debut in Brooklyn is just two days away, though there are serious questions about whether the game can be played due to the devastating effects of Sandy.
With the NBA season kicking off on Wednesday, here's my preview and ranking predictions for the 2012-2013 NBA season. This is how I see the Eastern Conference breaking down, and my season award winners.
All in all, until Stoudemire gets back, here's how I see Woodson breaking down the 240 minutes available in an NBA game.
Even with two healthy feet, Lopez is no more than a statue defending the pick-and-roll. I found his attempts to corral Knicks point guard Raymond Felton last night a useful teaching tool to my 13-year-old son as to what not to do in those situations.
Tyson Chandler said he didn't have much concern after his injury, which occurred when he fell to the court after a collision with the Nets' Gerald Wallace.
With five preseason games in the books and just one remaining on Wednesday, the Knicks are 2-3. There's been plenty to like and plenty not to like. Here's my take so far.
Charles Barkley doesn't like the Knicks' chances. Surprise, surprise.
Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire may actually be fortunate to have suffered a ruptured popliteal cyst this week, though it will keep him out of action for at least two to three weeks.
Carmelo Anthony could very well be the Knicks' power forward on opening night. This position switch has a lot of Knicks fans and NBA statistical gurus excited. I understand some of their sentiment, but much of it is based on wishful thinking rather than reality.
Anthony could start the season at power forward with Amar'e Stoudemire battling a knee injury -- a "likely" scenario, according to the New York Daily News.
On the surface it's a minor injury, but it's still a big setback considering how important the preseason was supposed to be to get the Knicks' chemistry issues straightened out.
Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire is expected to miss the start of the regular season because of a left knee injury.
"I can't imagine that," Anthony said in regard to A-Rod's situation. "I can't imagine that. I just feel bad for A-Rod, man. I don't like to see nobody go through that. It's tough."
I not only write about the Knicks. I am also a season-ticket holder. A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from the Knicks inviting me to a special free Knicks Tip-Off Event at the Beacon Theater. It was 90 minutes that I will never get back.
Jeremy Lin thought he'd be back with the Knicks. So did New York fans -- until Lin signed a three-year, $25 million offer sheet from the Houston Rockets.
Carmelo Anthony is the undisputed leader of the Knicks, but does his sports loyalty spread across New York City? Not necessarily. The five-time NBA All-Star, who moved from Brooklyn to Baltimore when he was eight years old, is a diehard Orioles fan.
With Iman Shumpert and Ronnie Brewer recovering from injuries, the Knicks are without a clear-cut starter at shooting guard -- a position Smith thought he could fill.
Anyone that says they know how the offense is going to be run right now is lying. They don't. Nobody does. And no, watching practice on MSG or in person isn't enough for me, either. I need to see it when the lights are on against real competition.
I will miss one thing: Jeff Van Gundy ranting about floppers during national telecasts. I guess we can't have it all.
