Scotto: Autopsy of Phil Jackson’s State of the Knicks Address

by

NEW YORK – Phil Jackson addressed the sorry state of the Knicks (2-6) Monday, preached patience with words such as “process” and “progress,”  addressed the Triangle offense, Carmelo Anthony and more. Patience? The Knicks have advanced past the first round once in the past 14 seasons. Progress? The offense has looked like any other geometrical shape during most games. Anthony? After shedding weight and coming into training camp in the best shape of his life, it appears once again that the former scoring champion

VIDEO: DeMarcus Cousins the early leader in MVP race

by

DeMarcus Cousins has not picked up a single technical foul yet, which means he is on pace to accomplish his self-proclaimed goal of getting whistled for a maximum of five “T”s all season. His team is the surprise of the Western Conference, with all due respect to the conference-leading Grizzlies, Rockets and Warriors, and he is in the top 10 in scoring (23.0 ppg, 9th) and rebounding (11.1, 8th) following a summer in which he went through a much-needed maturation process

Tweet of the Night: Paul Millsap refers to win against New York Knicks as “road kill”

by

Paul Millsap was quite occupied on Monday in Madison Square Garden as he did all he could do to contain Carmelo Anthony. Anthony somewhat had his way with 25 points (albeit on 25 shots), along with nine rebounds and seven assists. Millsap recorded 19 points, four rebounds (including a critical offensive rebound late in the fourth quarter that helped seal the game) and three steals. It was good enough to help the Atlanta Hawks come up with a hard-fought 91-85 victory

Photo of the Day: Enes Kanter, Gingerbread Man

The Utah Jazz forward/center spent some time at, uh, some place that has a giant gingerbread house.
