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

Sheridan Chat Wrap: April 27

Just like the old days, I conducted a live chat with my readers Friday afternoon to preview the upcoming NBA playoffs — and to defend my vote of Chris Paul for MVP. For more on that you can read this column. We will have more chats throughout the course of the playoffs, which I will alert you to through Twitter and Facebook. Thanks to all those who have been visiting the site, please check back every day, and much gratitude for your

Sheridan: Chris Paul gets my MVP vote, plus other ballot selections

by

I always use “valuable” as the operative word when voting for the Most Valuable Player, and that is the reason why I have cast my ballot this season for Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers. It came down to a decision between Paul and LeBron James, and as impressed as I have been with LeBron’s focus, determination and across-the-board improvement in every statistical category except assists, I do not see him as a valuable closer when he is paired with

Who is the NBA’s Most Improved Player?

by

Yesterday, this forum was devoted to discussion of the Defensive Player of the Year, and there was a ton of support for Tyson Chandler and LeBron James, with some love for Tony Allen and Paul George sprinkled in. Today we turn to the Most Improved Player award, which is somewhat of a wide-open field this season. I have an official NBA ballot to vote for the award, and I had been leaning toward Ryan Anderson throughout the season. I remember covering the

Sixers booed off court in final regular season home game

by

… and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Hey, gotta try to one-up the Sixers’ fans, right? In the city where they once booed Santa Claus, the patrons were not quite so delighted last night. And they let the home team know about it. The Philadelphia 76ers were booed off their home floor in their final home game of the regular season Tuesday night, a 102-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers that cut their lead over

Who would have thought? The Knicks bring in Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire, JR Smith, Baron Davis, and Mike Bibby, and who turns out to take the spotlight? Steve Novak. Although he’s not a nightly horse, he was an absolute monster tonight, shooting 8-10 from three-point range and scoring 25 points. Don’t get me wrong, JR Smith was also huge, shooting 7-10 from long range and scoring another 25 points, and the combination of Carmelo and Tyson scored

NOTES The Eastern Conference’s two best teams since the All-Star break go head-to-head tonight when the Chicago Bulls host the Boston Celtics (TNT, 7 p.m. ET).

So in other news bout to hop on the flight to S.A. Game tomorrow! Have to get back on track!

Back on track is an understatement. The Knicks are underachieving more than anyone thought possible, even when we thought they were going to get going. Other than Steve Novak (who has been a very pleasant surprise) and Amare Stoudemire (Finally), the Knicks seemed to just not show up against the Mavericks Tuesday Night. Jeremy Lin was unspectacular once again, Carmelo Anthony was relatively pitiful, and their bench was non-existent. The Knicks need to start beating good teams if they
