Who said anything about a championship? Even the most optimistic fan knows that the Nets are miles away from "glory road."
Conference Finals have arrived. See the official schedule of games, scores and seedings.
NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony led the second team, joined by guards Russell Westbrook and Tony Parker, center Marc Gasol and forward Blake Griffin.
Anthony first hurt his left shoulder on April 14 against the Pacers. Now it seems he played the entire playoff run -- 12 games -- with a partially torn labrum.
On Tuesday I went over the Knicks' financial situation for the next three years, so keep that in mind as we go through the offseason decisions that the Knicks will have to make. Here are where the pivotal points are going to be.
Amar'e Stoudemire will go into next season with $45 million left on his contract and no guarantee of a starting job. He also could remain a reserve who plays restricted minutes.
"I think we took a step forward," Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald told Mike Francesa on Tuesday. "Obviously we didn't get to the ultimate goal, which we're trying to reach, but it's not over. I like the team. I'm not discouraged."
Big changes are not coming now. They are two years away. They do have to get better, but that will be incremental, not dramatic. The Knicks are Melo's team, and right now, that's a good thing.
Boeheim says Anthony has no shot at winning an NBA title with the Knicks. Or at least with these Knicks.
Some of the players were old, though the Knicks say their team is young in its development. So they feel they need time, not an overhaul, to get further next season.
As to the outcome of Anthony's exam? Neither a wait-and-see approach nor surgery would be surprising. However, this injury is more than a warning sign and it doesn't bode well.
Forget free agency scenarios, probability and all that. Keep it simple. Who DON'T you want to see on the team next season?
"He had 39 points!" you snap. And he was 2-for-7 in the fourth quarter, with some woeful turnovers occurring at crunch time. But why let facts interfere with idolatry? The truth is, you got Anthony at his best and the Knicks still lost.
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony won't need surgery on his troublesome knee, and the team hopes it'll be the same for his injured shoulder, according to the New York Daily News.
This year, The Knicks were one of eight teams left and the second-best team in the East. It's OK to be proud of that. It's OK to enjoy that. I know I did.
Knicks had high hopes heading into the playoffs this season as they were a team built to win a title, but they didn't even come close.
Anthony, who finished with 39 points, scored just four points in the final 12 minutes when he went 2 of 7 from the field.
New York must play the same way Saturday at Indiana, where they're 0-4 this season, or they'll be heading home for the summer instead of going home for a decisive seventh game.
As the chess match continues on Saturday night in Indiana, trust Woodson. It took five games, but he once again has the pulse of his team against Indiana's strengths and weaknesses.
After watching Games 3 and 4, it would be hard to make the case that the Knicks can win on Saturday night in Indiana. So why will Game 6 be different? Here's a dose of hope...
"It's just a matter of who wants it more," Carmelo Anthony said. On Thursday night, that was the Knicks.
Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points to help the New York Knicks stay alive in the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 85-75 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 on Thursday night.
All it will take for the Knicks is for someone to hit some shots early. Shooting can be contagious, and the Knicks have all been wearing FEMA suits the past couple of weeks.
Whichever players are on the court for the Knicks when they try to save their season Thursday night, coach Mike Woodson just wants them to shoot with confidence.
