N.Y. KNICKS ~ SWEPT!! But Not Under The Rug.

NEW YORK KNICKS:  My Four Point Play.

In no particular order,  these are the points I believe to be most important to the Knicks heading into the off-season:

1) - Re-Sign Donnie Walsh

2) - Maintain Salary Cap Flexibility

3) - Building A Bench

4) - D'Antoni, Amare, and Melo Need A New Plan



SWEPT....,
You saw what happened at Madison Square Garden in games three and four versus Boston.  There's no need to rehash everything...is there? 

Just know, the Knicks needed to play at their absolute best while Boston needed merely to hang-around in games one and two.  And in the closing minutes of both games, the Celtics were able to pull out late victories because they knew how to finish and the Knicks didn't.  Then, when the series shifted to New York, it seemed as if the Knicks took two steps backwards while the Celtics took three leaps forward. 

....Under The Bench.
Like in the first two games, the Knicks also made runs in games three and four that might lead you to believe they are closer to the Celtics than they really are.  Just don't believe it, because they're not.  And I'll give you seven reasons why. - Toney Douglas; Roger Mason; Anthony Carter; Shawne Williams; Bill Walker; Jared Jefferies; and Ronny Turiaf are not the stuff dream seasons are made of.  They're just not.  Nor is anyone else you care to throw into the mix.  I don't mean to come down hard on these guys.  Some of them are serviceable.  But just take a look at Boston's depth and bench alone, and you know what I mean.

We didn't win the series against Boston because those players were getting extraordinarily more time than they should rightfully expect to play.  But that's what happens when your owner agrees to trade away a bus-load of players for Melo; you lose Chauncey Billups for the series, Landry Fields disappears, and you play with a compromised Amare Stoudemire since game two.

So clearly, finding complementary players to fit around Melo and Amare is Donnie Walsh's next mission.  So, the sooner the Knicks resign him the better.  Needs for a rebounder/Center; addressing Landry Fields; and possibilities at Point Guard are matters to be talked about as the Knicks lurch forward.  But it starts with Donnie.


Donnie Walsh Still Has Work To Do.....,
But, there were Knick Fans who thought this team was a championship contender heading into the playoffs.  I was never one of them.  Instead, I think the Knicks are a not-so-well mixed bag of goods heading into the off-season.  This team is still obviously a work in progress and the playoffs should have nailed that notion home for everybody by now.

This is Donnie Walsh's work in progress, so let's take this from the top. 

Donnie Walsh is yet to have a contract extension offered to him.  I most definitely want him back but there's speculation Donnie may not want to come back.  And of course, there is always the Dolan Effect that needs to be factored in when talking about the Knicks' Front Office.  According to James Dolan by his own spoken word at the Melo press conference, Donnie Walsh and him would address a contract extension after the buzz of the Melo trade subsided.  Why are we now done with the regular season and the playoffs, yet, here we are in the off-season and still no offer?

.....And Coach D'Antoni Should Be Allowed to Return.
I also hear many fans calling for Coach D'Antoni's job.  Many fans called for his job last season also.  As a matter of fact, fans were calling for his job after his first season in New York too.  I detect a not so subtle pattern here.  But, rest assured, he will be the New York Knicks' coach again to start the 2011-2012 season.

I concur Coach D'Antoni got woefully out-coached by Doc Rivers on most counts.  Now let's leave Boston out of this.  There is no one available to replace Coach D at the moment, and it's unlikely a better coach will become available before next season starts.  The recurring names of speculation replacing D'Antoni continue to be Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers.  Even if there was a grain of believability there, that chance is still well over a calendar year away from being theoretically possible. 

But then that begs the question as to whether the Knicks should extend D'Antoni?  Ah....What to do?  Answer - Tack on a year to his present deal so he isn't a lame duck coach next season and take it from there.  But of course, easier said than done.

I'm not completely sold on Mike D'Antoni, but I am not against him.  I believe he deserves to come back next season because after all, this team did make the playoffs after undergoing a complete renovation over the prior two years.  And in that time, Coach D never had a consistent or quality roster to work with until this season.   But I won't commit beyond that. 


....But Coach And His Two Stars Need A Brand New Plan.
We have a Coach and a system being carried out by incompatible players.  On the court, the Knicks have Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, and a roster full of question marks. Coach D and Amare Stoudemire play one way, while Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony play another.  Additionally, Melo and Stoudemire have still yet to prove they can play together on the same court.  What we saw since the trade were spurts and pops, but nothing resembling something which was clearly cohesive, unified, and meshing.  Going forward, the Knicks either need a system that better adapts to the players, or we need players that better adapt to the Coach.  In that regard, something has got to give and it involves everyone the Knicks plan on surrounding Melo and Amare with.


Maintain Cap Flexibility!  Buy-Out Billups.
And speaking of giving...., the Knicks should not give Chauncey Billups $14 million+ to return next season.  Donnie Walsh damn near performed a miracle clearing out Cap-Space in the short time he did.  I don't believe the Knicks should handcuff themselves with a player I believe will continue to decline and be even more susceptible to injuries.  We've played more games without him than with him since the trade, and he isn't a good fit in D'Antoni's system anyway.  The Knicks are playerS (plural) away from greatness; not lacking one player to put them over the top.  Therefore, I'd rather free-up the point guard position for competition and be in a position to make a trade-deadline deal next season.  Then, we'll see if next season's free-agent class is needed to provide a solution.  My mind is on getting younger and better; not getting older and hanging on.  Maintaining our cap flexibility is a major part of that.

N.Y. KNICKS ~ In A Deflating Game Two Loss, A Knick Was Born

GAME THREE

vs

NEW YORK KNICKS (0-2)

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

After Seven Long Years, NBA Playoff Basketball Is

BACK in NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK KNICKS: GAME TWO; Another Bitter Ending For The 'Bockers.


It started out as a bad first quarter for the Knicks. Rondo was running wild and helped get Boston out to an early 18-11 lead. Eventually, Rondo needed a break as he tired and asked out for a rest. That's when the Knicks tightened things up. They recovered and played a good last four minutes however trailing after one quarter. Meanwhile, Amare Stoudemire was already getting wrapped in bandages because his back was cramping up.

At 9:50 of the second quarter, the Knicks took their first lead of the game; 26-24. Carmelo Anthony was the hot, and only hand on deck for the Knicks. Word was received that Amare Stoudemire would not return in this game. So, Melo went on to score 16 points by half-time, with 10 rebounds; 4 assists; and 2 blocked shots.

A foul by Big Baby Davis with 01.2 seconds left in the half put the Knicks at the line. They'd make both free-throws and go the the locker room leading 45-44.

In the fourth quarter, the Refs resumed hating on Melo again by blowing two quick whistles in succession on him as Boston held a 76-74 lead with 9:08 left.

There was still 2:30 left in the game as the teams were throwing up more bricks than a medieval Freemason's convention.

When a time out was called with 0:49 seconds left, it was Knick ball as Boston held a 92-91 lead. After missing a lay-up, Jared Jeffries followed himself to make a lay-up off a pass from a double-teamed Melo making the score 93-92 Knicks, with 19 seconds left. With 0.13 seconds left in the game, Coach Rivers called Kevin Garnett's name down the stretch just as he had in Game One. Garnett posted and backed up Jefferies, then hit a soft right-handed hook in the paint. There was no double team by the Knicks.

The Knicks used their last time-out. On the ensuing in-bounds, Melo received the pass and saw the double-team coming. He found Jefferies down low and to the left of the paint and passed to him. Jefferies looked to pass to an open Bill Walker in the paint, but would have been better served going hard to the basket himself. Jared Jefferies was being defended by Kevin Garnett who caused him to cough it up. Garnett recovered the ball and Boston called time-out. The New York Knicks no longer had any time-outs and it was Boston's ball with 4.1 seconds in the game. The Knicks fouled with only 0.6 left. On the inbounds, Melo let his man run into the back-court with the ball killing precious seconds off the clock. The Knicks got caught starring or were just too tired. Boston made both free throws to make the score 96-93.

That's the way it would end.

Boston now leads the series two games to none. Next stop ~ MSG.

THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Old School

With no Chauncey Billups; Ronny Turiaf nursing late occurring bum knees; and Amare Stoudemire lost to back-spasms in the first half, the Knicks had to play everyone from the Butcher and the Baker, to the Candlestick Maker.  Coach Mike D'Antoni was forced to recover more trash from his bench than an American Pickers episode.  Shawne Williams; Jared Jefferies; Roger Mason; Anthony Carter; Bill Walker ALL received more minutes than anyone would have anticipated.  And they all contributed to another great Knicks over-all effort.

But what an incredible loss! It was an absolute 96-93 killer.

Calling on Kevin Garnett to take Boston's last shot was logical.  He had a total mismatch against a helpless Jeffeies; helpless against Garnett that is.  But no double team?  Doc Rivers doesn't have a problem double-teaming.  Then again, it was easier for Coach Rivers to double-up anyone considering the Knicks were running out of options faster than Fred Wilpon.  I would much have rathered to take my chances on Boston hitting from outside again.  A Garnett hook in the paint carries with it too high a percentage of being made.

But if you're inclined to pick on Jared Jefferies for botching up the play in the last seconds of the game, remember how and why Jared Jefferies was brought here in the first place.  He is here because the Knicks traded a roster full of players to acquire Melo.  But even before the trade, we still had no viable center.  After the trade, the Knicks were in desperate need of a body and not that he even fit the bill.  He was just.....there.  But it should remind everyone this team is still a work in progress.  Next season, my expectations will increase.

In the end though, Yes, - the Knicks lose because Jared Jefferies was in a position of paramount importance to end the game.  No Coach dares draw up a last second play for Jefferies and remains employed to talk about it.  That's why Coach D is off the hook....again, even though he got out-coached in the closing moments of the game for the second consecutive time.  Coach D had limited options in that situation.  Melo chose to pass to Jefferies.  Melo said so and we all know it - That was the right play.  However, Jefferies should have gone straight to the basket looking for two and a foul.

In defense of Jefferies, so much for me thinking Toney Douglas was going to play with Rondo.  That situation was a total fail.  So, it's all relative.

But after the way the Knicks played in Boston, we should be upbeat about their chances to win at Madison Square Garden.  They've sustained intense defensive efforts in the first two games.  That more than their points totals have kept them in both games.

Chauncey Billups will be a game-time decision.  The hope is Amare Stoudemire returns at full strength after suffering back spasms.  And Ronny Turiaf needs to return to game one form also.  His knee hobbled him late in game two.  His presence on the floor could have certainly helped late in the game against Garnett.

While Amare was dominating in game one, Melo was off his game.  In game two, Melo played like a player possessed while Amare sat out.  If the Knicks can get these two on the floor and have them play to their capabilities together, with a little support, the score should creep towards 100 points come game three. Coach D said as much that it's necessary to get to the century mark next time out.  It's a sound thought considering the Celtics were not a high scoring team during the regular season.  I still think if the Knicks can run early, Boston's legs will be spent late in the game.  And by Boston, I really mean Pierce.  I don't want him beating us.

Ray Allen had the touch in game one but was quiet in game two.  Rondo likewise, had an off and on two games.  Garnett has been Boston's most consistent player.  That leaves Paul Pierce.  He's been somewhat dormant but won't be staying quiet for long.  He's the one who loves playing in MSG and maybe he's been saving himself these last two games?  Nah.  But, I'm afraid he'll show up at a very inopportune time for the Knicks.  We'll find out.  That's why we play the games.

Make that two games now, Boston seemed interested in losing but found a way to pull out in the end.  For the Knicks, they were two games we failed close out.  But the Knicks are knocking at the door.  Maybe by playing on our home court,  they can bust it open.  I think we still can survive without Chauncey, but obviously we need Amare playing at one hundred percent.  The rest of the cast needs to continue their surprisingly spirited efforts.  Meanwhile, a good game by Amare and Melo at the same time and continued emphasis on defense might get them over this hump.

Earning His Knickerbockers:  CARMELO ANTHONY

Coming off a sub-par opening game in the series, game two was a superlative effort on Melo's part.  After Amare went down, he took anyone who was left on the Knicks' bench and pulled them along to within a few seconds of victory.  But last game makes two tough luck loses in which Melo has been directly involved in the outcome.  Regardless, after his performance in Game Two, Carmelo Anthony is now officially home.  By the end of the first half he had 16 points.  He ended the game with 42 points to lead all scorers.  Throw in 17 rebounds; 6 assists and some blocked shots; and what you have is exactly what the Knicks thought they were getting; his big game potential.  But after Game two, I think all Melo's naysayers finally have to settle in for what is sure to be an interesting relationship together.  Even though it came in a loss, he still offered up a great performance.  But because we did in fact lose in game two, his performance will only remain a glimpse of what the Knicks can be, instead of making it the stuff of Knick Legend.  In the mean time, Carmelo Anthony officially became a Knick to the people it matters most.  He can start working on the rest of the story tonight.

Finally got my internet connection back!  That means we're going to win!

N.Y. KNICKS ~ One Bad Minute Out Of Forty-Eight; Game One

National Basketball Association

2010-2011

EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

NEW YORK KNICKS (0-1)

vs.

Boston Celtics (1-0)

NEW YORK KNICKS:  They Let A Golden Opportunity In Boston Slip Away.  For Forty-Seven Minutes the Knicks Played a Defensive Gem.  Only The Last Minute Was Forgettable.


Did the Knicks let one get away?  You bet!  They were sensational for three quarters.  But the Celtics were never that far behind and rose up in the 4th quarter to snatch victory from the Knicks.  That's what they get for letting the Celts loiter around the scoreboard.

With 4:00 left in the fourth quarter, Mr. Big Shot; Chauncey Billups finally hit a big shot.  His three-pointer made the score 78-75.  Amare Stoudemire slammed home a reverse dunk to increase the Knicks' lead to 80-75.  Another Stoudemire slam had the Knicks up 82-78 with 2:45 left.  Then, Ronnie Turiaf kept the defensive pressure on Boston with his 5th blocked shot of the game.  With a little over one minute left, Amare had twelve points in the fourth quarter to that point.

But by 1:12, the score was tied 82-82.

After forty-seven minutes of superlative basketball, the last minute of the game witnessed a Knick unravelling.

Chauncey Billups attempted a left-handed lay-up (in which he got hacked over the head by the way), and crashed to the floor, writhing in pain.  He stayed down while play continued the other way after the missed attempt.  A few moments later left the game.  He suffered a sprained left knee and self-admittedly, was in much pain.  That came with 50.7 seconds left.

Then, with 37.8 second left, Tony Douglas nailed a huge three-pointer for the Knicks.

A point of major contention for fans about Coach D was that he didn't save a time out for the end of the game, and he didn't prepare his team for the back-door alley-oops! Kevin Garnett slammed home with 37.3 seconds left.  But the fact remains the Knicks still had a one point lead and the ball going forward.

This is when it got worse for the Knicks.  Carmelo Anthony was called for a very questionable offensive foul.  Yes! ...it was questionable for that moment when AP and Melo were BOTH jostling for position.  Did Melo's elbow get high?  Yep.  But that whistle was best left not blown.

Boston now had the ball with 21.0 seconds left in regulation time.  Boston worked it down and with 11.6 seconds left on the clock, Ray Allen burried a back-breaking three point shot. 

That made the score 87-85 but the Knicks had no time outs left to call.  So, the ball found it's way into Melo's hand for one last shot to tie or for the win.  Melo was thinking three all the way.  He didn't even try to penetrate.  He chucked up a bad shot with two Celtics on him, that clanked off the front of the rim.  Time ran out, and the Knicks let one get away.

Melo took the biggest shot of the night alright.  But it turned out to be that elbow he got whistled for.  Two points on that possession might have been enough to seal the game for the Knicks.  But then again, had Chauncey made his attempted lay-up and not gotten hurt, the outcome could have been equally different.

I don't really get caught up with whistles and with who gets them and who doesn't.  So I'm not interested in the foul called against Melo.  Garnett should have been whistled for his trip/pick and a foul should have been called on the play when Chauncey got hurt.  He should have been the beneficiary of a continuation call.  That's the way whistles go.

As far as Melo, he was brought here to talk that last shot.  He missed.  What are you going to do?  If Coach D manages a few things differently along the way towards a melt-down....

Scratch that.  It was a good game.  Coach D had a good game plan.  We fell a shot short.  The Knicks proved they'll be competitive.  They are going to give themselves a shot.




The Knickerbockers:  This is what I'm thinking...

First, we didn't have an answer for Ray Allen as I suspected.  Allen was quiet early in the game.  But he killed in the fourth quarter and in the closing minute of the game.  Landry Fields all but disappeared.  Some one is going to have to match Ray Allen's points this series if the Knicks want to keep pace with Boston.  Look at Melo and Pierce, and Garnett versus Amare as a wash.  The next key match-up would be Allen versus....fill in the blank.  Ray Allen was the only Celtic who scored over twenty points.  He scored twenty four killer points against us to be exact.  We need an answer for that.  That's on Coach to figure out.

Secondly, Jermaine O'Neal absolutely killed off the bench going 6-6 and twelve points.  Boston holds the advantage over the Knicks in size and bench depth.  After steady doses of Garnett and small doses Big Cry Baby, O'Neal is tough to handle; lest we speak of the injured Shaq.

Paul Pierce was held to eighteen points on the night.  Carmelo had an equally low night of proficiency scoring only fifteen points for the Knicks; highlighted by his last shot of the game miss.

About that miss....,  I get it.  Carmelo was brought here to take that shot.  But I believe in playing the hot hand.  Boston might have clamped down on Amare in the closing minutes Sunday night, but after scoring twelve points in the quarter, and having a dominant over-all game, I think you can design plays to isolate Amare or set picks for him (like Boston did to shake Allen loose...right?).  That's on Coach.

Why were the Knicks in this game in the first place?  Defense!  Deee-Fense!  The Knicks can make this a very good series and win games if they commit to the same kind of defensive effort they put forth Sunday night.  It really was a superlative effort on their part.  After that kind of defensive performance, I'm always aghast whenever I see anything less.  Defense is all in the mind.  You just have to want to commit to it.

But did that defensive effort come against a Celtics team having an average night?  Or did we defend the Celtics at their best?  That's what I want to know, and what we're going to find out.  Both teams were held to under ninety-points.  And we did almost take them on their floor.  But if the Celtics kick things up a notch, can the Knicks hang?  Think about that Boston fourth quarter comeback, only longer.  Now think about having to move forward without Chauncey Billups.  The Knicks have their work cut out for them.

Melo was down but we should have a realistic expectation he'll score more as the series moves forward.  But what of Ronny Turiaf?  Ronny Turiaf had himself a really good game scoring nine points and blocking five shots.  His defense was highly commendable.  But can we depend on him for a few more games at that level?  We don't have Boston's bench.  The Knicks NEED everything Turiaf can give.  Tony Douglas' defense was also commendable.  The Knicks are in desperate need of these two playing, if only fairly well, but they must play consistently well.

Landry Fields?  He spent a lot of time chasing Ray Allen around Sunday night, but not much else.  I don't know what this series has in store for him.  His problem is, before the Melo trade, he literally found his niche on this team and excelled.  That cast is gone along with the dynamic it presented for Landry.  He now needs to recreate a niche for himself in an offense tailored towards Melo first and Amare second.  Heck!  Coach D is still figuring out how to integrate them.  That's what happens when you go from the Team System, to the Star System in basketball.

Defense is still the key though, to any Knicks' success against the Celtics.

NEW YORK KNICKERBOCKERS ~ Payoffs and Playoffs;
Donnie Walsh Delivers.

Welcome back to the post season fellas.  It's been a long time.  Congratulations.

First and foremost, thank you very much Donnie Walsh!  His plan paid off.

And let us keep that in perspective; shall we?  Because it can not go under-spoken.  Donnie Walsh said give him two years to strip the team down, get under the salary cap, and reconfigure things.  He asked to be judged on his third year as GM of the Knicks.  He was clear about his intentions and followed his prescribed plan.

Today on April 17th, 2011 -  the Knicks feature a Twin Power Threat comprised of Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.  They have with them also a former NBA Champion and still very capable floor leader; Mr. Big Shot, point-guard Chauncey Billups.  And on this day, the New York Knickerbockers are opening the 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs in a Round One match-up versus the Boston Celtics.

So, if I'm Donnie Walsh, I'm asking, - How do ya' like me now!? 

Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together?  This team is still a work in progress.  There is still a big piece missing in order for this team to truly compete for a Championship.  But here we are in the tournament trying to compete for one none-the-less.  It's a great first step forward.

To the very patient Knicks' fan base, you have the post-season again.  Have fun.

The Big Apple  vs.  BeanTown

New York Knickerbockers vs. Boston Celtics

I think the Knicks can win games in this series.  I'm just not so sure we can win four before Boston does.

We can match-up against KG with Amare.  He's not the menacing paint presence he used to be.  But he can still muster up havoc a game at a time.  KG is more of a jump shooter these days, and my biggest concern is having an answer for his rebounding especially on the offensive glass.  We have to deny Boston 2nd and 3rd attempts at the basket.  Amare gets knocked for weak-side shot blocks, but he's very game on defense and Turiaf can definitely help.  Amare will get his points.  Have no concerns there.

We can match-up against P-Pierce with Melo.  You know damn well, at the end of each game this series, both teams will be looking to get the ball into each of these players hands.  The ball will find it's way to them in waning moments of games and much will be decided this series based on their respective fingertips. 

After that, is where I think the Knicks get into trouble.  The Celtics are deeper and will win this series.  I question Chauncey's ability to keep up with Rondo and wonder who will equal Ray Allen's points?  Landry Fields?  I want to believe that.  I think the Celtics' bench is much deeper than ours; even without Shaq.  Big Baby has been shooting off his Big Mouth but he's still going to be a Big Problem off the bench.  There is no rest with a big body leaning on you; if Cry Baby does nothing else.

Outside of Chauncey, what I do think the Knicks have going for them is youth.  This is most likely Boston's last chance at a run for a trophy together.  The Celtics are not a young group and maybe there's a chance the Knicks will be fresher.  I wouldn't count on it though.  The familiarity the Celtics have with each other and the team cohesion they enjoy is an advantage I feel they have over a Knicks team that is still trying to gel together.

A team with Melo, Amare, and Chauncey on it has a legitimate chance of advancing beyond the first round.  Next year, the Knicks will have more than just a chance...

Enjoy the playoffs.  It's been a while.



The Knicker-BackBone:

I won't be at the games when the series comes back to MSG, but you can find me, so to speak, riding the back of Amare Stoudemire.  That's my guy right there.  I like the way he embraced everything about coming to New York City and throwing this team on his back.  I'm not into cheapening his story by listening to the "he came here because this was the best deal" line, as to why he came in the first place.  I don't care if it's true or not.  He came here and did and said all the right things. 

Earlier to start the season, he led a likable F-Troop squad back into the limelight of New York City sports and into favor again with the fans.  Amare took guys like Ray Felton, Gallo, Chandler, Mozgov, and holdovers, Fields and Turiaf, challenged them and even scolded them.  For his part, he led the way with thirty-point game performances.  He helped make Knicks' basketball fun again.  As a player, he made the team matter again.  After games, he listened to every question and spoke into every microphone before he left the building at night.

Then came the Melo trade.  And while Carmelo Anthony will be going school yard, one-on-one with someone, and will be called upon as Option One during the closing minutes of games, I'm with Amare because he's the one who ultimately pushes this team through four quarters and gives it it's backbone.

Let's Go Knicks!
