Melo’s shot selection one of Knicks’ issues

November 20, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Knicks are a mess this year, and the game against Detroit was a perfect illustration. Carmelo Anthony was inefficient. He scored 25 points, but was only 8-for-20 shooting from the field.

September 3, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Before King James, there was Bernard King. King was not flamboyant, just effective. He was a formidable offensive force who was at his best when posting up a defender with his back to the basket, then spinning right or left to shake free for a lightning-quick turnaround jump shot.

Melo’s immature move results in suspension

January 9, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

For someone who is supposed to be a most valuable player candidate this season, Carmelo Anthony still acts like an immature high school teenager. Anthony was suspended one game by the NBA on Wednesday for confronting Kevin Garnett after the New York Knicks’ loss to Boston on Monday. Anthony, who was angry about Garnett’s choice … [Read more…]

Lin lights up Knicks in return to New York

December 17, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Jeremy Lin has a lot of fond memories at New York’s Madison Square Time. It was in New York where “Linsanity” was born and Lin became the biggest story of the strike-shortened 2011-12 season. Lin parlayed his overnight success into a three-year, $25-million contract with the Houston Rockets. The Knicks didn’t feel like Lin deserved … [Read more…]

ATLANTIC POWER: Boston, Philly, New York stir 1980s echoes

October 23, 2012 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

I love the ’80s! It was a decade that introduced us to cable TV, Don Johnson’s white-pants-with-no-socks look, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” jackets, and Madonna’s “Like a virgin” anthem. It was also a time when the Atlantic Division was the gold standard of the NBA. The Atlantic featured Hall-of-Famers such as Larry Bird (Boston Celtics), Kevin … [Read more…]
