Tyson Chandler
A much needed bright spot for the Knicks; Tyson Chandler winning Defensive Player of the Year Honors. He had 45 first place votes (311 points), and was followed by Serge Ibaka who had 41 first-place votes (294 points) and and Dwight Howard, who had 186 points. The award seemed dominated by big men, as Kevin Garnett finished 5th, and I was a bit shocked to not see Shawn Marion in the discussion. Tyson Chandler’s award was much deserved, as

Tweet of the Night: Mike Trudell

Bryant, now enjoying himself, said that he "improved" Dirk's one-legged fade, saying he can shoot it from 3 & Dirk can't.

Not the first bold statement Kobe has ever made, but still a respected one. Anyway, Kobe had his game going last night in the Lakers 104-100 win over the Nuggets, with 38 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. There’s no question how hungry Kobe is for another ring, and if the Lakers continue playing like this, they may be a serious problem in the playoffs. They are without question in the same conversation as the

Playoffs Day 4: Previews of Celtics-Hawks, Sixers-Bulls, Nuggets-Lakers

Is it safe to say that NBA teams always enjoy home court advantage? It may actually be an understatement when it comes to home court in this postseason. All but two games in the playoffs so far have been won by the home team, and the lone two teams that won on the road basically needed to pull off miracles to get their victories. Of course, there’s the simple fact that the home teams are also generally the better teams, which is why

Playoffs Day 3: Knicks on the verge of another postseason punchout

by

Some folks gave the New York Knicks a puncher’s chance in their first-round series against the Miami Heat. Not anymore. In a remarkably stupid act, Amar’e Stoudemire expressed his frustration after Monday’s 104-94 loss in Miami by punching the glass of a fire extinguisher encasement. He cut his left hand so badly that he required stitches and left American Airlines Arena with his arm in a sling. TNT’s David Aldridge reported that teammate Tyson Chandler said Stoudemire would be “out,” although he was

I am so mad at myself right now, I want to apologize to the fans and my team, not proud of my actions, headed home for a new start

Amar'e Stoudemire
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for the Knicks, Amare Stoudemire apparently sustains a hand/arm injury because he decided to punch a “fire extinguisher” in anger stemming from tonight’s loss to the Heat. Early reports claim he looks to be questionable for game 3-4, as it’s only a laceration, and X-Rays were not necessary. Regardless, the next 24 hours are going to be a circus surrounding Amare and the implosion of the Knicks, and if Amare

If Rajon Rondo doesn't step to ref, everything's fine. But he did and he's looking at Game 2 suspension. Dumb.

Everybody by now is aware of the amazing comeback of the Clippers by now. It was extremely impressive, even if it was accompanied by the loss of Caron Butler for the rest of the playoffs. (4-6 weeks, broken hand) The more important story, I believe, is that of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics lost Game 1 to the Hawks, and it could have been one had Rajon Rondo not got tossed. On top of that, he now faces possible

Playoffs, Day 1: Disastrous injury-plagued start to the NBA playoffs

by

So the playoffs began on Saturday afternoon, and they could not have gotten off to a worse start. A much anticipated day of postseason action turned absolutely tragic when two key players for the Bulls and the Knicks – Derrick Rose and Iman Shumpert – each suffered devastating knee injuries – a torn ACL. Chicago was well on its way to the first postseason win of the season. Then, with less than two minutes remaining in the game, the reigning MVP jumped up

Iman Shumpert
The Knicks got blown out (literally) today in Miami, losing 100-67. Sadly enough, the game was worse then the score even showed. Carmelo Anthony did nothing, Novak couldn’t find any space, and the Knicks were just a collective mess. However, regardless of the outcome, I would have held out hope for the Knicks. If they could take Game 2 in Miami, they would be in pretty decent shape, and anything could happen. But with Shumpert out, I pretty much
