New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks
Game 38: January 6, 2017
Knicks 116, Bucks 111

Written by Eric Weinstein – @ericcweinsteinn

Finally, a win.

The Knicks finally ended the six game losing streak tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks After a heartbreaking loss on Wednesday thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Knicks returned the favor and took down the Bucks, 116-111. Kristaps Porzingis returned after a three game absence to score 26 points for New York. Carmelo Anthony led the way with maybe his best all-around game of the season with 26 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. 17 assists in the past two games for Carmelo, which is the highest assists count over two games he has had in his career.

Most notably, we had a Ron Baker crunch time minutes extravaganza with him finishing 6 points and 4 assists, all in the fourth quarter. Bravo Ron, Bravo. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker both led the Bucks with 25 points each, and Greg Monroe had 19 points off the bench.

Knicks Vs. Pacers – 3-20-14 – Game Recap

Written by William Lee

Welcome to New York Phil Jackson. One day after the Knicks formally introduced the new team President in a Tuesday afternoon Press Conference, and on a day Knicks’ fans decided to hold a protest rally, New York welcomed Mr. Phil Jackson with a 92-86 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks extended their season high winning streak to seven games, and avoided a season sweep by Indiana.

The New York Knicks lead 21-14 after the first quarter, in a very sloppy and ugly opening quarter. Both teams made only six field goals, converting on less than a third of their attempts. Indiana turned the ball over six times in the quarter, yet New York was so inept themselves, that they were not able to capitalize on any of those opportunities. The game was so ugly that for the last three and a half minutes of the first quarter, neither teams made a field goal to end the period. The one saving grace for the Knicks was that they were able to get to the line, and convert free throws, making 9/10 from charity stripe.

The field goal draught would continue for both teams, before Lance Stephenson finally made a field goal for the Pacers a little over a minute into the second quarter. Amare Stoudemire finally ended the Knicks’ field goal draught by hitting a mid-range jumper two minutes into the second quarter. This sparked an offensive bonanza out of nowhere for the Knicks, compared to how snail paced the game was going beforehand, going on a 16-2 run, giving the Knicks a 39-23 lead with 6:11 remaining in the second quarter. Stoudemire scored 10 of his 21 points in the second quarter, during the crucial run that gave New York a sixteen point lead in the first half. Continue reading →

Episode 196: Game Three and Amare

Jay and Marc briefly talk about the other three series before answering a ton of questions looking forward to game three.  Priggy, Shump, Chandler, Amare, offense, defense, clubs, it’s all covered.  We even manage to keep the Amare bashing to a minimum.  At least until we see what happens on Saturday.

Episode 195: No Time for Happiness

Round two started off with a thud.  Jay and Marc are angrier than ever and tell you why all show.  I think we mention the round 1 victory for about a minute, but since round 2 started so quick or happiness was immediately crushed by the weight of this terrible game.

Knicks lose one hell of an ugly game

/ Jay / 2 Comments

This story is getting old.  No Melo, Felton, Shumpert, and Wallace and Camby left early with back spasms.  Oh and Indy happens to let up the fewest points in the league.  It was obvious points were going to be hard to come by but 34 points at the half?

  • There was a flurry of bad calls at the end of the 2nd quarter.  Who would have thought a game reffed by Heywoode Workman (A Pacer on the ’94 team that lost to the Knicks in 7 games in the conference finals) would result in some questionable calls.
  • Let me be clear, that was NOT the reason the Knicks lost.   2 players scoring in double digits, one of them being JR who needed 29 shots to score 25 points was.  Shooting 35% from the field and 20% from 3 is not going to win many games.
  • Roy Hibbert went down with back spasms and Ian Mahinmi came in.  This is when things went really bad for the Knicks as Ian then proceded to tear the Knicks a new one the entire 4th quarter.  Ian Mahinmi – #Knickeffect
  • Marcus Camby was said to have a sore foot.  This is also the diagnosis they gave for Rasheed Wallace.  He was last seen on the court 28 days ago and counting.  Lets hope it’s not as serious as Wallaces “sore foot”.
  • There really isn’t much to take away from this game.  The Knicks were really short handed and no one was able to step up and score some points.  The Pacers are a good home team too.  Can’t get too mad, although the losses are starting to pile up now, 7 losses in the last 12 games.
  • On the bright side Shumpert should be back in a little over a week which is really good since Brewer apparently wasn’t even able to give 10 minutes on a night when half the roster was out.

The Knicks finally won.  So what if it was Sacramento.  We cover some of last weeks stories like Paul Millsap’s huge game and the Pacer’s Huge quarter.  We also revisit the Knicks/Houston/Sacramento trade from last season, debate whether it is time to let D’Antoni go, and give a moment of silence to Portland and their fans.  Sorry Oden.  Download Episode 11
