Magic vs Knicks: Drama Masks Matchup of 2 Non-Contenders Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Someone should make a movie about the New York Knicks' 2011-2012 season. It has been one filled with drama, momentum shifts, scandal and other things that make for a good story.On the court, it makes for a team whose bark is much more menacing than its bite.While the Knicks' opponent on Thursday night has their own coach and star drama building, it's nothing compared to New York's storylines.In reality, this is 27-27 team with this band of characters: Jeremy Lin as the trendy, average and injured point guardLin's game fell off tremendously as teams began to pressure him with solid defensive ...

The Knicks enter play Wednesday with a 1.5-game lead over Milwaukee for that final spot, but the Bucks are likely to beat visiting Cleveland on Wednesday night to trim that lead to a game. Of course, the Knicks will have to clinch without either Jeremy Lin or Amar'e Stoudemire as both are expected out at least for the rest of the regular season with injuries. The ...

Iman Shumpert Good at Celebrating; Dwight Howard Good at Looking Exasperated Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, CourtVision, Dwight Howard, Iman Shumpert, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
When I flipped to the Knicks/Magic game last night, I thought my contacts were failing me. I did that extra-hard blink thing that you do to try to will your contacts back into their proper spot so that you can see correctly, stared at the screen and figured it was time to grab my glasses.Lots of hours in front of a computer screen will make that necessary sometimes. It just seemed a lot more likely for my contacts to have decided they were done for the day than for the Knicks to be leading the Magic by 30. I was feeling ...

With the resignation of head coach Mike D’Antoni, the New York Knicks appear to be going through some changes at every level. One of those changes could include a trade with the Orlando Magic for Dwight Howard. According to Sam Amick from Sports Illustrated, the Knicks have been inquiring about a trade that would send the three-time Defensive Player of the Year to their squad. Such a trade would require a fairly major roster shakeup for the Knicks, who have no cap room whatsoever to work with. In fact, Carmelo Anthony might even be included in such a trade. Whether ...

Dwight Howard Trade Rumors: Could the Superstar Big Man Be Dealt to NY? 2012 NBA Trade Deadline, Basketball, Dwight Howard, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Trade Deadline, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
The Dwight Howard situation is cloudier than it was months ago, and it seems that no one has a clear view on where the league's best big man will end up. The Orlando Magic are desperately trying to keep the superstar center, and according to reports, the team would allow him to choose the fate of GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy. The Magic have come out and denied the reports, but something tells me that there may be some validity to those statements because of the failures that both men have experienced during their tenures. Nevertheless, the Magic will ...

Knicks Trade Rumors: Why Dwight Howard to Knicks Is Better on Paper Than Reality Basketball, Dwight Howard, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Trade Rumors, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Of course the Knicks have interest in Dwight Howard, but in their current situation, D-12 doesn't make the Knicks much better than they are now. Chris Broussard of ESPN.com reported this:New York is another place Howard would consider settling in long-term, and the talent-laden Knicks could offer a package that could rival just about anyone's, something along the lines of Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.If New York does that deal, obviously Howard replaces Chandler in the middle, but subtracting Melo shouldn't be understated.Anthony is one of the games' top-four offensive players. You don't just remove a 24.7 point-per-game career scorer without feeling it. ...
