Quentin Richardson let his game do the talking in snowy Boston on Sunday night, but one of his best performances of the season couldn’t get the Knicks past perhaps one of the best teams in NBA history.
The Knicks already proved they can play with the Western Conference’s best. Now it’s time to try their luck against the East-leading Boston Celtics, who just so happen to be on a 17-game winning streak (6 p.m. on MSG).
The weather outside might have been frightening, but a solid crowd and Al Harrington still managed to find their way to Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
They say there are no moral victories in the NBA, but Mike D’Antoni and the Knicks continue to build confidence despite losing two straight against elite Western Conference teams this week.
The Lakers are the second-best team in the NBA, are tops in the West, have the league’s highest-scoring offense and feature the reigning league MVP. And while none of that intimidated the Knicks on Tuesday night, a late L.A. push handed the Knicks a 116-114 defeat at Staples Center.
Mike D’Antoni brought the New York Knicks to the place he says gave him the best four years of his basketball career to date. But amidst all the excitement in a game he says he anticipated as if it were Christmas morning, D’Antoni was unable to walk away with a victory in his first return to Phoenix despite a strong effort from his new team.
It’s been six months since the Phoenix Suns last played in Mike D’Antoni’s run-and-gun offensive system. And while they might be missing his up-tempo style, the New York Knicks are thriving under their new coach just 23 games into the season.
The New York Knicks’ Al Harrington and the San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan today were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, Dec. 8, through Sunday, Dec. 14. Harrington led the Eastern Conference in scoring with 33.3 ppg on .565 shooting, to go along with 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals, as the Knicks went 2-1.
The New York Knicks’ biggest strength is their energized style of play. And in the third game of a five-game road trip, the return of their most active player couldn’t have come at a better time. Nate Robinson, who is a perfect fit in Head Coach Mike D’Antoni’s run-and-gun offensive system, came back from a strained groin to spark New York to a 114-90 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
It took nine games into his second stint with the New York Knicks for Tim Thomas to remind Head Coach Mike D’Antoni just how good he really is.
Hello Knicks fans. I wanted to give an update as to what I’ve been up to since I last checked in with you during training camp...

Following a narrow 105 -100 loss to the Bulls in Chicago last night, the Knicks head to New Jersey to take on the surprising New Jersey Nets. Perhaps no one in the NBA has taken the league by storm this season like Devin Harris, who ranks sixth in the league averaging 24.4 points per game along with 6.1 assists. Along with Vince Carter, who is averaging 22.5 ppg, Harris has led the Nets to an unexpected 11-8 record.
Chris Duhon had one of his best all-around performances of his career against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, a near triple-double wasn’t enough to help the Knicks down the stretch in a 105-100 loss in Duhon’s first trip back to Chicago since signing with New York last summer.
