NBA 2011-2012: 9 Teams on the Rise Andrea Bargnani, Andrew Bogut, Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Williams (F), Greg Oden, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Playoffs, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
Every year, some NBA teams see a drop off in the wins column, and at the same time, a handful of teams improve.Usually the "old" teams are expected to get a little worse with age, and the young "rebuilding" teams are expected to improve. While it's common that happens, sometimes rising NBA squads fail to maintain a high level of play without any apparent reason, and sometimes old NBA squads just refuse to go away (like the Spurs).There are many deciding factors which will help us guess how a team will do, but because we haven't gone through free agency ...

NBA Free Agency 2011: 5 Big Men the New York Knicks Should Target Greg Oden, joel przybilla, Kurt Thomas, Kwame Brown, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Free Agency 2011, New York Knicks, Opinion, Samuel Dalembert | Comments Off
Pestering defense and physical play from a big man is what the Knicks have lacked for years. The team needs someone who can fight for rebounds, get his hands up to block shots and bump an opponent or two around if need be. Amar’e Stoudemire cannot do it alone, and as the team’s star player, he shouldn’t be expected to take such a beating each and every night. Ronny Turiaf is the perfect spark plug off the bench, and does provide some physical play and energy along the way, but he is also injury-prone. He is not the answer at ...

New York Knicks: Marc Gasol and 4 Other Players Who Can Be Key to Contending Carmelo Anthony, Greg Oden, Marc Gasol, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Nolan Smith, Opinion, Tyson Chandler | Comments Off
The New York Knicks are a very talented team. Despite all the star power, they lack some key pieces to the puzzle. Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups are the best players on the team, but after them the only player who really contributes to the team is Landry Fields. They lost a lot of depth in the trade for 'Melo, and they have to try to make up for it.Begin Slideshow

The Works: Amar’e at Center (Again); Can the Blazers and Jazz Contend? Al Jefferson, Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Randolph, Brandon Roy, David Lee, Deron Williams, Greg Oden, Jerry Sloan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Rudy Fernandez, Shawn Marion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
by Bethlehem Shoals and Tom ZillerFiled under: Jazz, Knicks, Trail Blazers, The Works In The Works today, we break down our first two NBA Mid-Majors and delve into the unconscious of Rudy Fernandez. But first, a brief history of Amar'e Stoudmire at center. Matrix Unloaded It turns out that New York's amazing power forward acquisition -- maxed out Amar'e Stoudemire -- might be New York's amazing center acquisition after all. The entire preseason, coach Mike D'Antoni has played Stoudemire at PF next to one of the roster's two true centers: Ronny Turiaf or Timofey Mozgov. It hasn't worked, because Howard Beck of the ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Clippers, Knicks, Nuggets, Trail BlazersDENVER -- Just about every place Marcus Camby has been wants him to have a homecoming. But who is the leader in the clubhouse? The guys he plays for now. The center started his NBA career way back in 1996, having a two-year stint with Toronto. There's been no word about the Raptors wanting to bring Camby back, but every other NBA team he has toiled for just might go after him when he becomes a free agent this summer. New York, where he played from 1998-2002, is expected ...
