Knicks At The Break - 2007
Structured Offense vs. Run & Gun
Thomas realized he essentially had two teams on his hands – one excelled in a half-court structured offense; the other in an up-tempo run & gun frenzy.

Isiah Bets On “Pocket Jacks”, Again
I have longed considered Thomas’ player acquisition style as someone playing a high-stakes card game. Perhaps I might have to consider whether Isiah sees himself more as a poet or Scrabble player. Since he’s been in charge of the Knicks, he has acquired:

Mets Chop Chipper-less Braves
Jones’ absence essentially ended any real chance the Braves had in the series, to catch the division-leading Mets or possibly a Wild Card spot. The sweep allows the Mets to put a history of Braves' dominance behind, even if only for the year.

Knicks Not Rich Enough To Afford Butler
This proved to be a double-edged sword, in that the contracted amount is low enough to demonstrate the predicament Thomas is in, as far as “salary cap and luxury tax hell”. If the contract was for, what many deem to be the fair market value for a decent or unproven NBA, somewhere in the range of $5million for 3 years then the Knicks not matching would be more palatable.

The WNBA Lifestyle?
The league’s problem is not that it lacks an identity or relevance, to the point where the predominant post-commentary on the All-Star game was an impromptu dunk contest, where most of the players failed to get it in. If lack of interest for such an exhibition game was the death knell to a league, then the NFL would be in great peril, as probably would MLB.
The answer lies equally in what is exhibited during the competition, as much as what female athletes do in their private lives. Last year, Sheryl Swoopes announced that she was in a lesbian relationship. That type of story could have served - and probably was hoped to become – a beacon into the WNBA life. Instead after a few weeks of minor discussion it faded because the viewing public made a distinction between lifestyle and personal space.

Will Knicks Quit on the Quick?
Can summer league success carry over into the regular season? This brings us back the question of talent and where exactly the Knicks are. Did they quit on their coach last season? By all accounts and specifically because of the results of the Larry Brown era – I mean season, of 23 wins and 59 losses.

Who’s Zooming Who?
by Guichard Cadet
The New York Knicks are 0-3 after Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. It is also quite evident they are confused and running scared like the gang that shot Cyrus. For those unfamiliar with the cult classic flick (The Warriors) from 1979, understand that the Knicks are heading to the west coast for a six-game road trip. By the time they come home, it might get uglier than it currently has.

RJ: The Next Scottie Pippen?
By Guichard Cadet
I have often wondered why no player is referred to as “the next Scottie Pippen”. The man has 6 championship rings with the same team and served as the complement to one of the NBA’s greatest of all-time. Perception is the problem; and it states that if Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were a sandwich, they would be a BLT. In that type of setup, Michael is the meat and Scottie can be no more than a complement – a mere vegetable.

Stern Warning
Societal Implications of the NBA Dress Code
By Guichard Cadet
By Guichard Cadet
This past week NBA Commissioner David Stern put on his “throwback” thinking cap and legislated a dress code for the league. Opinions ranged the gamut, with personal preference dictating which side of the issue one took.

Big Man Hunting
by Guichard Cadet
Fast forward to the 2004 off-season and nearly everyone is lambasting Isiah for overpaying to acquire Jamal Crawford. On its own merit, the signing is not as bad as some have made it out; but coupled with getting Eddy Curry, the Crawford signing is simply pure genius.
The Eddy Curry signing can be broken down to this simple equation. If a close friend moves to a city and tells you life is lovely there, and you've been itching to move away from home – What do you do? You find a way to move there. I am not saying Bulls GM Paxson did not overplay his hand in dealing with Curry’s heart injury and contract negotiation. It’s just that he may have joined the card game a bit too late to know who was in cahoots with whom.
