Tonight's game against the Heat is obviously a must-win if the Knicks want any chance of winning this series, as slim as it might be. Here's what New York needs to do to win Game 3.
Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert are sidelined. Jeremy Lin isn't back yet. So where are the Knicks supposed to find enough offense to compete with Miami?
Craig was very happy to report that the Heat may be without the services of Chris Bosh for tonight's Game 3, due to the birth of his child.
As much as I'd love to lambaste Amar'e Stoudemire for his on and off-court conduct, I give the guy a pass. Fresh off another brutal loss to Miami, ensconced in the ashes of a charred season, Stoudemire tried to muscle his way out of a mental problem.
Amar'e Stoudemire said that there's a "great chance" he can play in Game 4 of the Knicks' series against the Miami Heat on Sunday, despite cutting his left hand on a fire extinguisher case.
Let's move past the idiocy surrounding Amar'e Stoudemire's postgame temper tantrum. Blame should not be laid at the feet of any individual player.
Yes, Stoudemire made it shatter. Only this time, nobody was shouting out, "Mazel tov!"
With Amar'e Stoudmire out of the picture, having turned himself into a villain in the eyes of many Knicks fans, Craig suspects that Carmelo Anthony is grinning from ear to ear behind closed doors.
Might the Knicks be better off without the services of Stoudemire moving forward against the Heat?
Amar'e Stoudemire's difficult season may be over. Stoudemire had a small muscle in his left hand repaired Tuesday and will not play for the Knicks in Game 3. Actually, he may not return at all.
Tyson Chandler has been voted the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year for his impact on the New York Knicks, a person with knowledge of the award said Tuesday.
Seriously, what's next? Is the team bus going to roll over Carmelo Anthony's foot? Maybe food poisoning for Baron Davis?
This much was certain: Amar'e Stoudemire's hand was cut so severely that doctors and paramedics were summoned, drops of blood stained the carpet and a piece of glass in the door to a fire-extinguisher case needed to be replaced.
After it became apparent that Amar'e Stoudemire punched the glass panel of a fire extinguisher following the Knicks 104-94 loss to the Heat on Monday, comments flooded Twitter. We've posted some of the best.
The Knicks sounded hopeful about Jeremy Lin's return -- and that was before Monday night's debacle.
What luck! Amar'e's meltdown was the hot topic as LJ was scheduled to visit the guys.
Before throwing it to Jerry Recco, Craig talked about the fun some are having on Twitter at Amar'e Stoudemire's expense.
The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their center right after. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss.
Right now, the Knicks are still in the series. It was small mistakes that led to the avalanche Saturday, not some fatal flaw. Correct those things and this series can still go a long way.
As the Heat vaporized New York, you learned a few things. Miami has two players better than Carmelo Anthony. Miami wants it more. And the Knicks are soft. Yes, soft.
The NBA's compressed schedule, with 66 games in four months followed by one day off before the playoffs, was tough on everyone.
When Jeremy Lin went down with a knee injury, Iman Shumpert stepped up for the Knicks. Now the injured Lin could be called on to step up -- again -- and spark New York.
Whenever Bernard King is scheduled to pay a visit, Craig gets understandably excited.
