You Must See The Worst Quarter In NBA History

The Knicks Were Sadder Than Usual Last Night
The Knicks fell to the Nets, 100-98. I hope you didn’t watch, because the destination sure as hell wasn’t worth the journey. The Knicks are 47 games under .500, while the Nets are 34-40 and in playoff position. (The East is unwatchable.) ...
The Knicks' "Plan" Still Sounds Dumb As All Hell
And now the Knicks season is about butts. ...
The Timberwolves Signed A Guy Because He Was Nearby
The closest race in the NBA is at the bottom, where Minnesota and New York are neck and neck for the league's worst record—and the best shot at the No. 1 overall draft pick—with Philly and Los Angeles not far ahead. Last night's T-Wolves/Knicks tangle at MSG had the feel of a championship game—a poo...
Gregg Popovich Calls Team "Pathetic" After Loss To Knicks
Last night, Gregg Popovich's San Antonio Spurs somehow managed to lose an overtime game to the Knicks, a team that regularly turns possessions into crimes against humanity. This wasn't one of those games where Pop sat all of his starters, either. This was a full-strength squad getting beasted by the...
Knicks Player Accidentally Does Something Good
The Knicks experienced a rare moment of good fortune in Sunday's game against the Suns, when Alexey Shved threw up a no-look shot in an attempt to draw a foul from Archie Goodwin. Somehow, the ball went in, giving Shved the chance at a three-point play....
Charles Oakley Says NBA Now Hard To Watch; Universe Dies Of Irony
Charles Oakley, a slick passer and midrange jump-shooting specialist who nevertheless is talked about (by himself and others) as though he were the NBA's Cosa Nostra liaison and carried a goddamn shiv in his sock, tells Canadian media* that he isn't super keen on today's NBA. "It's hard to watch," ...
That's Not Really That Funny, Phil

This Knicks-Lakers Game Is A War Crime
We might be in the NBA's Belle Époque, but this 15 second sequence is the lowest moment in NBA history. These two shots are crimes against humanity. If you are watching the Knicks-Lakers game please hit yourself in the face, and then instead watch the Cavaliers and Spurs on TNT....
Jason Smith's Dancing Is The Only Redeeming Thing About The Knicks
The Knicks are bullshit and should be ignored at all costs, but we can make an exception for power forward Jason Smith, who in this video busts out a series of dance moves at an energy level of a Pixie Stick-addled kid who just watched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective....
Anthony Mason Was From The Future
We'll mostly remember Anthony Mason for toughness, the way that we remember the Riley-era Knicks teams on which he made his reputation. Which, fine. He got in fights, on- and off-court; he deployed his elbows and extra-large ass with abandon and occasional malice; he glowered and wheedled and pro...
This Is The Worst Shot I've Ever Seen
The above GIF features one of the 400 or so best basketball players in a world earnestly attempting to make a shot—I think—in a real live basketball game that counted in the standings and everything. It went about 20 feet too high, 20 feet too deep, and 20 feet too wide, but at least Alexey Shved is...
Justin Bartha Hits On Jill Martin In Weird Sideline Interview
Via Marcia Herold, here's an interview at the Knicks game with Jill Martin and an out-of-it Justin Bartha. (You know, the guy who didn't do anything in The Hangover.) Martin tries to talk about movies, but Bartha takes things his own way....
Guess Which Former Knick's Travel Alias Was "Ace Boogie"

Amar'e Stoudemire Wrote A Cute Goodbye Poem To New York
The Knicks and Amar'e Stoudemire have finally parted ways, bringing an end to what was supposed to be an era of fortune and glory. Amar'e may not have ever lived up to his contract from a production standpoint, but he was a great Knick, as further evidenced by how he said goodbye to the city....
James Dolan Is Not Sorry About Being A Shitty Person
At a charity event today, Knicks owner James Dolan finally spoke about the email he sent this past Sunday, in which he responded to a lifelong fan's harsh but fair criticism by accusing that fan of being a miserable alcoholic. Unsurprisingly, Dolan is not really all that sorry about being a horrible...
Anthony Mason Is In Bad Shape
Former NBA player Anthony Mason, best known for his defense and physical play on those bruising mid-'90s Knicks teams, is reportedly in critical condition after suffering a heart attack, according to multiple media reports. ...
Charles Oakley Says James Dolan Won't Even Look Him In The Eye
Former Knicks player Charles Oakley went on the Boomer & Carton show today to talk about the stuff cranky old basketball players love to talk about: How the game just isn't the same anymore, and how today's players are too damn soft. Once those topics had been exhausted, though, Oakley went on to ta...
