Get Fired Up, Knicks Fans
In honor of the Knicks' surprising road victory over the Cavaliers last night — which puts them one game out of first place, at 6-10! — we are proud to point out this Web advertisement for the Knicks (not one of the ones that, strangely, ran on this site) encouraging Madison Square Garden to "Experi...
He Can't Even Play For Isiah
It's been a week or two since we checked in with the running joke that is the New York Knicks. As it turns out, it doesn't look like the dream pairing of Stephon Marbury and his "father figure" Isiah Thomas is going to function as seamlessly as we all thought it would. Things reached a low-point l...
The Violent Tendencies Of Isiah Thomas
Spurs forward Bruce Bowen has a habit of sliding his feet under the feet of the man he's guarding when they go up for a jumpshot. It's an extremely dirty and dangerous play, and Bowen's got a history with it. Both Ray Allen and Vince Carter have wanted to beat his ass at various points in the not-to...

NBA Kicks Off In Earnest, And That Means It's Isiah Time!
Well, it's a beautiful time of the year, because not only is there a full slate of NBA games tonight, but one of them involves ... the Knicks!

In A Way, It's A Step Forward For Isiah

You Know This Took About Eight Days To Film, And He Kept Pinching PA's Asses

Isiah Thomas' Secret Genius

The Moment You've All Been Waiting For
Ladies and gentlemen, this man — this guy — has been rewarded for the job he has done over the last three years. Larry Brown has been fired, and Isiah Thomas — Isiah Thomas! — will take over as coach and general manager....
Isiah Thomas, Charming Fellow
As we prepare ourselves for the inevitable 15-jet-pileup that will be Isiah Thomas taking over as coach of the Knicks — because you know it's happening — we cordially invite you to take in this twice-told tale of Isiah, back when he was working with the Raptors....
Hey, Larry Brown Drama In The Offseason. Go Figure.
And so it begins. Reports are popping up that the Knicks are considering buying out head coach Larry Brown's contract for something in the neighborhood of $40 million. That would mean that Larry Brown made somewhere between $40 million and $50 million to coach the Knicks for exactly one year. Some...
The Knicks Are Willing To Try Anything
When we interviewed Sam Walker, author of Fantasyland and columnist for The Wall Street Journal a while back, he spoke at length about the prevalence of fantasy baseball and the changing face of the game. We let the guy expound for a while, and expound he did. And at the end of the interview, when a...
Isiah Is Keeping Good Company
Not to imply that matters in New York have passed the point of no return for Isiah Thomas and the Knicks — they were hammered by the Magic last night — but Knicks fans-turned-haters are now comparing him to Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe....
As Usual, Politics Ruins Everything
We don't like to get political out here — at all — but we did find this document amusing, right on the cusp of the NCAA tourney. It's a comprehensive look at the political contributions oif major sports figures. We don't think this information means anything — other than that it's hysterical that ...
Isiah Thomas Seeks To Ruin Indiana Basketball Program?
The New York Post's Peter Vecsey—and yes, I'm aware that just saying those six words makes any words that follow completely meaningless—reports this morning that Knicks GM Isiah Thomas may want to be the next head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers. Vecsey says that before he came to New York, Isiah ha...

Poll: Isiah Wins, But It's Closer Than You Think
Well, the results are in from our poll about a theoretical (for now) fight between Isiah Thomas and Bill Simmons, and, well, we're rather shocked: You give Simmons a lot better chance of winning this duel than we possibly could have though. Out of Deadspin readers, 46.2 percent of you think Simmo...
