New York Knicks’ QB of the D: Team Depends on Ronny Turiaf To Lead the Defense Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Rumors, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion, Preview/Prediction, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off
Upon being acquired from the Warriors, Ronny Turiaf was expected to be the Knicks’ starting center. Known for his intense defense, Turiaf had immediately garnered comparisons to other Knicks’ big men greats such as Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason. The team was optimistic he would deliver such a presence. Instead, Coach D’Antoni went with a young prospect, naming Timofey Mozgov the team’s starting center to start the season. While Mozgov has proven to be highly ineffective thus far, Turiaf made his impact coming off the bench, self proclaiming himself as the “quarterback” of the Knicks’ defense. The ironic thing is, Turiaf is ...

2010-11 New York Knicks NBA Predictions and Odds Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Randolph, Basketball, Eddy Curry, Kelenna Azubuike, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off
The New York Knicks recorded their ninth consecutive losing season in 2009-10. As a result, General Manager Donnie Walsh cleaned house and the Knicks started the offseason with just four players under contract and tons of cap room, which they used to sign Amar'e Stoudemire. Coach Mike D’Antoni has the dubious distinction of racking up 103 losses in two years in New York. Apparently, his strategy of trying to score more than his opponents while not playing defense hasn’t worked. The addition of Stoudemire does not exactly address the defensive issue either, since he is not known for rebounding or for ...

While Knicks President Donnie Walsh insists health problems will not force him to leave his post, many suitors are already in line to become his successor. Entering the final year of his contract, Walsh, now 69 years old, is undecided about his future. He finally, however, has seemingly returned the Knicks to respectability by reshaping the team with Amare Stoudemire and company this summer. Aiding Walsh in the remodeling were Glen Grunwald, John Gabriel (who was responsible for signing Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady to the Magic in 2000), and Allan Houston. Houston may be the clear favorite out of ...

New York Knicks: Changing of the Guards Kelenna Azubuike, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
A lot has changed in Knicksland this offseason. The turnover has been incredible. Only Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Toney Douglas, and Eddy Curry remain from last year’s opening night roster. That means only three players remain from last season's opening night roster, because we all know Eddy Curry doesn’t count. In order to help you get acquainted with the new look Knicks I’ll be starting a series of season preview pieces today. Starting with the guards. Out are Nate Robinson, Chris Duhon, Tracy McGrady, Sergio Rodriguez, Eddie House, and J.R. Giddens. In are Kelenna Azubuike, Raymond Felton, ...

Top Notch Tweeters: New York Knicks Embracing World of Social Media Amare Stoudemire, Danilo Gallinari, Kelenna Azubuike, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Roger Mason Jr, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off
"The Knicks Blog" often recognizes that a number of Knicks have become active Twitter members. Players who “tweet” give fans and media alike a unique window into their everyday routines. Furthermore, they are all given an opportunity to interact with athletes like never before. While some athletes may not “tweet” often, if at all, there are others who make it a priority to respond to fans on a daily basis, and as a result, see a rapid increase in their fan base. C.J. Watson, a once little-known NBA backup guard (who recently signed with the Bulls), arguably is involved with ...

Kelenna Azubuike and Wilson Chandler Jockey For Knicks Starting Role Best Slideshows - Team, Kelenna Azubuike, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
After spending a great deal of the 2010 offseason in a quick rebuilding process built around the cap space they freed up, the Knicks seem to have their 2010-2011 plans laid for them. However, one piece of the puzzle that could potentially be up in the air is the starter at shooting guard. The Knicks have a fistful of guys that can produce at the number two, including newly acquired guards Kelenna Azubuike and Roger Mason Jr. and returning players Wilson Chandler and Bill Walker. Mason and Walker provide definite sparks off the bench. Mason can gun and Walker is athletic. ...

Will Kelenna Azubuike Be the Starting Shooting Guard of the Knicks? Anthony Randolph, Best Slideshows - Team, Danilo Gallinari, Kelenna Azubuike, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Trade Rumors, New York Knicks, Opinion, Preview/Prediction, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
Amid reports that the Knicks have agreed to terms with Roger Mason Jr. on a one-year contract, fans may begin to wonder how minutes at the shooting guard position will be allocated. The new-look Knicks now have four quality players capable of playing the two guard position in Wilson Chandler (last year’s starter), Kelenna Azubuike, Mason Jr., and Bill Walker. While all four have starting experience (Walker having the least, as he started for the Knicks during last season’s final two months), the starting position will likely come down to Chandler and Azubuike. With the signing of Mason, Walker may very well be ...

NBA: Lebron James Doesn’t Go to The New York Knicks, What Do They Do Now? Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction, Ronny Turiaf | Comments Off
The Big Apple had their fair share of heartaches Thursday night. With the King making his announcement only an earshot away from New York, Knicks fans felt like they'd been teased into thinking LeBron was coming. His announcement that he was going to the Miami Heat wasn't so much a shocker as a rude awakening from Knicks fans' slumber. The Knicks haven't made the playoffs since the 2003-04 campaign and haven't had a winning season since 2000-01. Hold on. Not all is lost. Despite LeBron joining Tony Montana in South Beach, this season does look a bit more promising for New ...

LeBron James stiffed the Knicks with his decision to sign with the Miami Heat. The Knicks, however, wasted no time before listening to their new leader, Amar'e Stoudemire, who at Thursday’s press conference said, “it’s onto the next one.” Of course, Stoudemire was referring to his transition from the Suns to the Knicks, but the same logic still applies. The Knicks acted quickly to make a move following LeBron’s disappointing announcement, completing a sign and trade deal with the Warriors on David Lee. Headed to the Big Apple are Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, and Ronny Turiaf. While this is not the star-studded move fans were ...

by Sam AmickFiled under: Knicks, Suns, Warriors, NBA Free AgentsThe Golden State Warriors will be rewarded for LeBron James' South Beach state of mind. According to a source close to the Warriors, a sign-and-trade sending David Lee from New York to Golden State in exchange for Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf and a second-round pick was very likely to go through before James announced his decision to head for Miami on national television Thursday night. So long as James didn't choose the Knicks. Since that was the case, Lee's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed to FanHouse minutes afterward that the forward who averaged ...
