Knicks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:03:28 PST

With the Allen Iverson flirtation behind them and the reality of going forward with this hodge-podge roster very much a reality now for coach Mike D'Antoni, the realization has set in that the "Seven Seconds or Less" offense he brought with him from the Phoenix Suns might have to be shelved. D'Antoni recently admitted a need to change his strategy to better fit the players he has, and it has been notable over the last three games.

The results are obvious: The Knicks won two and took the Celtics to an overtime nail-biter they lost at the buzzer. The catalyst? Not the system, but the one thing D'Antoni has been often criticized about as a coach: defense.

But, really, the lower scores and better ball movement is a result of a more traditional halfcourt set that D'Antoni...

Paul Pierce carried the Celtics all game while the rest of the Big Three struggled. So when it came time for the winning shot, of course Pierce would take it. That's what the New York Knicks seemed to think, anyway. Instead, Pierce swung it to a wide-open Kevin Garnett, whose jumper beat the overtime buzzer to give Boston a 107-105 victory Sunday.

D'Antoni: Nate not benched for shot at wrong hoop (AP)

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:13:52 PST

Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni says Nate Robinson was not benched for taking a shot at the wrong basket Saturday. The Knicks inbounded to Robinson in the backcourt with 0.5 seconds left in the first quarter of their 98-91 victory at New Jersey. Rather than just hold the ball, or heave one at the basket the Knicks were attacking, Robinson turned and shot at his own basket.

No matter how bleak things look for the Knicks, they can take comfort knowing worse basketball is being played 10 miles away. And if the Nets don't win soon, they could be the worst ever to start an NBA season. Al Harrington and Danilo Gallinari each scored 17 points, and New York dropped New Jersey to 0-13 with a 98-91 victory Saturday.

Knicks' Answer: No to Allen Iverson (AP)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:32:06 PST

The New York Knicks won't sign Allen Iverson, believing any short-term gain would hinder their plans to build for the future. Team president Donnie Walsh said Friday the team won't make any additions at this time despite its 2-9 record.

It's painfully clear to everyone but the management of the New York Knicks that there's only one question to which Allen Iverson remains "The Answer." That is: "What could be worse than spending 40 years in the NBA wilderness with Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown and Stephon Marbury?" So let's be clear: Iverson and the Knicks deserve better than what they're going to...
