Upon examining the Knicks’ 2012 Roster, a Knicks fan has to be happy. That said, the absence of one “Jeremy Lin” immediately changes the attitude of many. If you can get past the reality of Lin leaving, you‘ll soon warm up to the squad Mike Woodson will lead to the court come October.
Sixty young men heard their names called Thursday Night as they started their NBA Careers, but only about a third of those men had the privilege of embracing the commissioner on-stage afterwards. The rest sat at home and enjoyed the moment with friends and family. Regardless of how the players were notified, they were all thrilled to be chosen by an NBA team as a player they thought could help their team, or in some players' cases, save it.
Tommy Dee, founder of TheKnicksBlog.com, joined Mack Rosenberg and Matt Sinise on One on One to talk about Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak's arbitration win's impact on the team, how the Knicks and Nets will go about the draft with their late 2nd round picks, and which draftees he expects to be a sleeper pick.
Alex Smith and Amit Badlani were joined by ESPNNewYork.com's Knicks beat reporter Ian Begley. They discussed the interim tag being taken off of Mike Woodson, the players association's big arbitration case next month, and what the Knickerbockers need to do over the off-season to improve.
The up-and-down Knicks have had a tumultuous season to say the least, highlighted by the resigning of their head coach Mike D’Antoni. Now winners of 3 straight since interim head coach Mike Woodson has taken over, the Knicks are starting to gel. Tommy Dee of the Knicks blog spared a few minutes of his St Patrick’s Day festivities to talk with Mike Giandomenico and I about the state of these New York Knicks in the post-D’Antoni era.
After a historic start to his NBA career, Jeremy Lin has proved that he is real. He’s obliterated the very low expectations that were set for him by adjusting to defenses and new offensive schemes that are thrown at him on the fly. Now, Lin will have to face his toughest challenge yet: adjusting to new players on the floor.
Linsanity is taking over New York. Tommy Dee, the founder of The Knicks Blog, joins Ricky Cibrano and John DeMarzo to talk about it.
It was the second day of Knicks training camp in Greenburgh, New York.
There were two basketball courts and long row chairs for the media, ranging from mid-court to the left baseline of the near court. Curiously, the colors of the courts were not orange and blue. Instead they were a light blue and green for the New York Liberty, the Knicks’ WNBA counterpart. The Knickerbockers still managed to make a larger presence in the gym. The numbers of their legends, like Patrick Ewing, Walt Frazier, and Willis Reed, hung in the background.
He talks coach firing, team trends, top players, and so much more.
Newsday's Knicks and NBA scribe Alan Hahn joined Ricky Cibrano and Mike Giandomenico to talk about the tentative deal reached by the NBA and its players to end the lockout and what has to be done before training camp opens on December 9th.
