http://wfan.com Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:01:56 EDT en-us I gotta tell ya...the 2008 NBA playoffs have been quite entertaining. We've seen a bunch of Game 7's, and we have seen the teams we expected advance to the NBA's final four. The league and David Stern are now this close to their nirvana... Wed, 21 May 2008 11:08:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2086968 Mike D'Antoni is a fine coach with a solid resume. He has had great regular season success with the Suns and great all round success while coaching in Europe. Mike seems like a nice guy, who I'm sure we'd all love to have a beer with. With that said... Wed, 14 May 2008 17:16:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2051385 So how do things look for the locals now that the trade deadline has passed? Eh, more of the same! We'll get to the Knicks in a bit, because they still stink, and I'm starting to run out of ways to express that obvious fact.  Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:43:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1627579 Dear Jason, Wow, I can't believe it's really over! I mean all the good times and all the hard times and now its finally really finished. Man, I'll tell ya these 6 ½ years went by like the speed of light. Tue, 19 Feb 2008 13:00:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1568653 It's like knowing you are going to break up with your girlfriend, but before dumping her, you let her rearrange your house! It's like giving her the control to sell your car, or name your dog! That would be insanity. Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:38:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1561221 Ok deep breath. The New Jersey Nets will NOT win a championship anytime soon. For many this has been obvious for years, but for some diehards this is a cold, hard taste of reality. This week it finally happened...reality sank in! It's time...It's time...to put the Kidd era Nets out of its misery. Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:17:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1453831 I know its tough to get excited about a team that still trails the 8th seed by more than 6 games, but how bout them Knicks!! I guess when you set the bar so low, anything, and I mean ANYTHING can get a fan base excited.

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:27:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1440946 Birth of a Travesty....Just how did the Knicks get SOOO BAD.  As the 2007-2008 season rolls on, it is becoming painfully obvious that after 82 games the Knicks season will end. Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:02:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1405998 We learned something very important this past week as 2007 came to a close. We now know one guy who will NOT replace Isiah when he eventually loses his job. Kiki Vandeweghe who played for the Knicks years ago, and did a very solid job of turning around the Denver Nuggets will not be the Knicks savior.  Wed, 2 Jan 2008 12:44:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1346533 A caller said to me the other day that what has ruined the New York Knicks is their version of the "Axis of Evil."  The more serious Axis was Iraq, North Korea and Iran, but in the MSG universe that axis consists of James Dolan, IsiahThomas and Stephon Marbury.   Fri, 28 Dec 2007 10:38:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1329984 Lawrence Frank has made quite a few dumb moves this season. But the broken clock has finally gotten something right. He has placed Jason Collins rather large posterior firmly on the bench and has given the future a shot! Sean Williams, Josh Boone IN...Jason Collins and Malik Allen OUT! Wed, 26 Dec 2007 13:17:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1319715 We know the Knicks are quite bad. The .300 winning percentage and constant "Fire Isiah" chants kind of gave it away. But there are times, albeit not a lot of occasions where the Knicks actually look like a functional team on the court. Some of these times are obvious.  Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:16:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1281727 I really have to hand it to Coach/President/Excuse maker/Harasser(according to a jury of his peers) Thomas. He has really hit it on the head this time. Over his almost 4 years of working to lead the Knicks back to a championship (the anniversary is Dec. 22 so plan your parties now) he has had some interesting excuses. Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:23:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1259380 Jason Kidd is by far the greatest all-time New Jersey Net. The day he walked into the hearts and lives of Net fans he changed their fortunes in an incredible way. I feel honored and privileged as a Net fan to get to watch this "Picasso of theHardwood" play night in, night out.  Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:16:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1237450 I'm going to do the impossible. I will not spend the beginning of this blog bloviating about how bad the Knicks are, about how much of a disgrace to New York basketball they are, about how Isiah Thomas must lose his job. Knick fan or not, I think we have all heard enough about it from me and everyone else in this city.  Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:54:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1189873 I’m one of the few that believed the Knicks had the talent to be a playoff contender when the season started.  I still actually feel that way.  But I’m also another in a long line of people to call for Thomas’s head.  Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:40:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1178115 Stephon Marbury is not the reason the Knicks are the laughing stock of the NBA.  Though his antics during the summer of '07 surely contributed to the Knicks becoming a great punch line, he is not the reason for their on court failure.   Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:43:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1153824 Your Knickerbockers: I like Zach Randolph, I really do. If he doesn't enjoy the New York city lifestyle too much, if ya know what I mean, he's gonna be a nice fit for this team for quite a few years.  Mon, 5 Nov 2007 13:35:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1120270 What an awful off-season! I mean seriously, think about what the NBA had to deal with during its what seems like 4 week break from game action. After LeBron finally reached the finals he forgot to show up.  Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:46:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1104684
