Knicks 91 Heat 88: Even when they win, they lose. At this point there is nothing left to play for except a better draft pick and the Knicks hurt those chances with a win over the worst team in the NBA. Add it in the fact that it was the one-year anniversary of Isiah Thomas’ contract extension with the team and you probably won’t feel like celebrating anymore. Nate Robinson had 17 points, Jamal Crawford......

Portland 120 Knicks 114 (OT): The Knicks went into this game shorthanded, no Zach Randolph, no Eddy Curry, no Jamal Crawford. But, even without three starters they almost pulled out the win thanks to Nate Robinson’s 45-point game. Robinson played an amazing 52 minutes in the game and the Knicks used only eight players, even with the extra period. Mavericks 111 Nets 91: Jason Kidd got his first crack at his old team and he......

Knicks 113 Bobcats 89 Take a long look at this box score, because you probably won’t see another one like it this season. The Knicks won a laugher Wednesday 113-89, dominating Charlotte over the final three quarters of the game. Apart from Eddy Curry, who didn’t score a single point, everyone had a good time in this one. Nate Robinson had 22 points and 6 assists while Jamal Crawford had 20 points and 5 assists.......

Rangers 5 Panthers 0: For the second-consecutive weekend the Rangers played two games and emerged with four point. Sunday they completely dominated Florida on both ends of the ice as they cruised to an easy win. Five different Rangers scored goals and ten different Rangers had points in the win. Brandon Dubinsky showed his versatility when he pulled Sean Avery away from a fight, only to step into the action on his own. Dubinsky fought......

Seattle 86 Knicks 85: Make it a clean sweep, for their opponents that is. The Knicks lost all five games on their west coast swing blowing four second half leads along the way. Nate Robinson had a chance for a game-winning shot with time running out, but he missed and the Knicks will take a long flight home and have only a little time to prepare for Monday’s game with the Clippers. Atlanta 104 Nets......

Knicks 111 Nets 105: Something’s different with the Knicks. Not only did they win their third-straight game (a season high) Wednesday, but they did it with a comeback. New Jersey jumped out to a 15-point lead at the end of the first quarter and the Knicks responded. For some reason, they didn’t pack it in like they have on so many other nights. Jamal Crawford led the way with 35 points and eight assists, including......

Celtics 86, Nets 77: Maybe the Nets should play as well in the even quarters as they do in the odd periods. New Jersey got outscored 23-9 in the fourth quarter and fell to the 30-4 Celtics. Josh Boone did well -- except when he was at the free-throw line. He had 14 points and 16 rebounds in 37 minutes, but he went 0-for-6 from the stripe. The Nets as a team made only 9......

Edmonton 3 Rangers 2 (shootout): Pinching defensemen have become a vital part of the Rangers’ offense and Dan Girardi showed that again Saturday. With New York stymied offensively and losing 1-0 midway in the third, Girardi came in and put the puck on net. The bounce was odd, but the result was good as the Rangers tied the game at 1. Unfortunately for New York, Ryan Hollweg took a stupid boarding penalty and his five-minute......

Lakers 95 Knicks 90: The light bulb has finally gone on for Isiah and he admitted after the game that “maybe we have the wrong guys starting right now.” Why it took this long to click is another question, but Sunday offered definitive proof that changes in the lineup need to be made. The Lakers cruised to a 70-45 lead and then had to hang on against a Knicks’ rally that happened with the unit......

Rangers 4, Islanders 2: It's a good thing these teams play each other eight times each season. Otherwise, the Rangers might have a confidence problem. Given enough opportunities to beat a particular opponent, any team is bound to cash in sooner or later. After losing the first three games against the Islanders, the Blueshirts finally broke through. Jaromir Jagr and Chris Drury each had a goal and an assist against Rick DiPietro. The Islanders still......

Knicks 97 Minnesota 93: Isiah Thomas was booed when he was introduced before the game, but the rest of the Knicks were cheered. And, when Nate Robinson pledged before the game that this team would win more games than in previous seasons that elicited the biggest cheers of all. Robinson backed up his pledge with 10 points in 16 minutes while Jamal Crawford had 24. Unlike Friday, the Knicks shot well from the charity stripe,......

Cavaliers 110, Knicks 106: Throughout his tumultuous summer, Isiah Thomas seemed to want to use basketball to shield himself from sexual harassment lawsuit he eventually lost. If he was devoting any amount of energy to preparing his team for its first game against Cleveland, he failed miserably. His team looked out of sorts as it got the season off on the wrong foot. Letting LeBron James score 45 points is understandable. Choosing not to guard......

Yankees 8, Twins 2: After not getting a decent -- much less quality -- start from any member of their rotation, the Yankees gladly accepted Carl Pavano's seven innings of two-run ball. Alex Rodriguez hit his fifth home run, but that came after the affair was wide open. This is the type of game the Yanks hope to play more of this season, but they won't get to face Sidney Ponson every night. And here's......

Yankees 10, Orioles 7: Yeah, you read the headline right. Alex Rodriguez came through in yesterday afternoon's game in the biggest way - with a two-out game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 9th inning. It was his 2nd home run of the game. The bottom of the ninth inning went something like this: out, out, Robinson Cano single, Derek Jeter walk, Bobby Abreu hit-by-pitch, grand slam by Rodriguez into the black seats. Kei......

Rangers 6 Flyers 4: The bottom line is they got the two points. Yes, they almost threw away a big lead and yes, they made a lot of mental mistakes, but they got the two points. Henrik Lundqvist rebounded nicely from Tuesday’s shellacking, stopping 33-of-37 shots while Jagr netted two and Prucha got his 20th. The win leaves the Rangers in the seventh spot with four games left. Their margin for error remains razor-thin with......

Orlando 94 Knicks 89: It’s the simple things that the Knicks seem incapable of doing and it cost them again Monday. In this case, it was a simple defensive decision, to switch or not to switch. Mardy Collins and Nate Robinson didn’t communicate and the result was a wide-open three-pointer by Jameer Nelson that erased a lead and led to their downfall. Yes, it appeared that Dwight Howard committed a goaltending violation on Stephon Marbury’s......

Knicks 106 Golden State 96: By now the Knicks should have figured this out. Go out and put some effort into the game and some good things might happen. With Jamal Crawford out for the year and David Lee and Nate Robinson sidelined, the Knicks went some different lineups and some different players and it all worked out. Mardy Collins, Malik Rose and Steve Francis all made significant contributions while Quentin Richardson led the team......

The NBA's all-star weekend often disappoints, and this year's still might, even with the race between Dick Bavetta and Charles Barkley. But no one will call David Lee's performance in the annual matchup between the league's best sophomores and rookies underwhelming. The Knicks reserve (!) forward made all 14 of his field goal attempts and scored 30 points in a 155-114 win for the sophomores, who won for the second straight year. Lee was good......

Raptors 120, Nets 109: Vince Carter, welcomed with the usual boos, had 17 points and 10 assists, but Toronto took advantage of a weary Nets team and extended its division lead to 4 1/2 games. Bostjan Nachbar pitched in 26. New Jersey didn't struggle offensively -- even Eddie House had 19 -- but it allowed Toronto to shoot 59 percent from the floor. Not going to win too many games playing like that. Warriors 120,......

Knicks 106, 76ers 99: If there's one team that has the Knicks beat in the turmoil department, it's the 76ers. They've traded star guard Allen Iverson and are about to buy out Chris Webber's contract. A team with such distractions proved no match for the Knicks. Eddy Curry had 20, and Stephon Marbury scored 24. The Knicks welcomed back Nate Robinson from his 10-game suspension and Quentin Richardson from back spasms. They've won three straight.......

A better Wall Street story than those crazy big bonuses brokers are getting: The grandson of late Giants owners Wellington Mara got into a fight with another broker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. What caused the fight? The other broker's joking words about how crappy the Giants are! The Post had the details from the broker, Bob Tomasulo, who Stephen Mara "choked and tackled", as well as otherwitnesses. Apparently Eagles......

It is getting impossible to root for the Knicks anymore. The franchise is completely lost, stuck over the salary cap for the rest of the decade and playing uninspired basketball. Now we learn that the head coach is running the team like a mob boss, ordering his players to take out opponents. These are the facts we know at this point. George Karl and Isiah Thomas do not get along at all. Karl is a......

-Knicks 115, Bucks 107: Eddy Curry had 36 points -- his ninth straight over-20 performance -- and the Knicks gave the fans at Madison Square Garden plenty to cheer about. Curry dominated against Andrew Bogut and then Dan Gadzuric after Bogut faced early foul trouble. Nate Robinson chipped in 22, but, despite the win, the Knicks are only 3-8 at home this season. Curry's play, maligned here and everywhere it seems, has proven a pleasant......

- Rockets 97, Knicks 90: The state of the Knicks is so sad that their former coach has more wins at Madson Square Garden with his new team than the Knicks' current head coach does. Jeff Van Gundy is 7-1 against the Knicks with four consecutive wins at MSG and Isiah Thomas is 1-5 at home. Yao Ming led all scorers with 26 points and Tracy McGrady added 24. Jamal Crawford led the Knicks......

-Spurs 105, Knicks 93: In their season-opener, the Knicks nearly blew a 19-point lead and nearly lost to the Grizzlies before winning in triple overtime. On Monday, the Knicks nearly came back from a 23-point deficicit, but, after closing it to one, watched the Spurs beat back the rally. Should Isiah Thomas write this off his team's second-half effort becaues it happened in a loss, just as he ignored his team's near collapse in what......

The long awaited youth movement has finally arrived, but it is surprisingly missing one player. Using the “kids” the Knicks beat the Celtics 101-86 last night in Boston. The win means that New York will not tie the franchise record for fewest wins in a season and brings them out of the NBA cellar. Once again Jamal Crawford led the way with 31 points and eleven rebounds, continuing his commitment to defense, which has endeared......

You have to make the most of your opportunities and Nate Robinson has certainly done that. With Steve Francis on the bench and a first quarter injury to Stephon Marbury, Robinson was called on to play big minutes and he responded with 34 points in the Knicks 117-112 loss. Yes, they lost the game, but the time to pay attention to wins and losses has long since past. What is important is that we see......

Instead of dwelling on another pathetic loss by the Knicks Gothamist is going layout what he would like to see happen the rest of the season which thankfully lasts only 14 more games. First and foremost, the Knicks need to learn what the kids can do so Nate Robinson and David Lee need to start every game in place of Jalen Rose and Steve Francis. Jamal Crawford and Jackie Butler should be the first two......

When in crunch-time, most teams, most coaches, would turn to their star player, but not the dysfunctional Knickerbockers. As we all know, they are not most teams. They are a team with the highest payroll in the NBA and the team with the 2nd worse record in the NBA. Surely if the Bobcats played as many games as the Knicks have, our fine New York team would actually be the worst in the NBA. Last......

Here’s the good news; there are only 28 games left in the Knicks’ season. New York was simply outclassed by the Nets last night, losing 94-90, but it wasn’t that close. Steve Francis, who had 16 points in his debut, hit a three at the buzzer capping of a rally by the Knicks that made the game appear a lot closer than it was. In fact, the Nets jumped out to a 20-4 lead and......
