Everybody Now Hates J.R. Smith
Yes, the ongoing J.R. Smith miniseries is funny. The fines, the suspensions, the tweets, the missed shots, the contract, the drama.

Report: The Knicks Have A Very Knicks Plan For How To Stop Sucking
The Knicks are so bad. After getting massacred by the Thunder on Christmas day, the team that won 54 games last year—which, god, how the hell did this team ever win 54 games?—is sitting at 9-19 and reportedly ready to go back to the drawing board. And what's on the drawing board? "Make all the good ...

Photoshop Contest: New York Knick Carmelo Anthony
The Knicks had a wholly shit Christmas, and Carmelo let us see exactly how he felt about it, which was... Sleepy? Disdainful? The defeated yet removed seething of a man who has an opt-out clause coming up? (Maybe he was simply peeing his pants.)...

Even Carmelo Wanted To Sleep Instead Of Watch The Knicks Yesterday
Yesterday's slate of NBA games sucked. The sleeved jerseys had everyone looking like rec league handball players, and we had to watch the the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls squat and take a dump on the collective chest of the Brooklyn Nets. And then we had to watch the New York Knicks....

The New York Knicks, In One Tidy End-Of-Game Bungling
Here are your 2013 New York Knicks, Knicksing it up in Madison Square Garden against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards, incidentally, hadn't won in New York since 2006.

Report: Knicks Might Try Drafting In The First Round For Once
When the reports started coming down yesterday that the Knicks were seeking Kyle Lowry from the Raptors in exchange for a package including a 2018 first-rounder, it sounded eminently logical. Not in the "that's a smart move" sense, but in the "of course the Knicks are going to give up on a draft tha...

Dad Saves Daughter From Flying Basketball Player
Well done, Knicksdad! Your paternal instinct to protect your offspring won out over your natural desire to touch a professional athlete. Truly you are the dad of the year.
