Michael Beasley really has to step up now. If the Knicks have any chance of being watchable at all for the remainder of the season, he has to go out there and score 30 per game. It has to be the Michael Beasley show every night. No passing. Just one-on-one, mano y mano isos every…

Luke Kornet 11 Points/4 Blocks Knicks Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2018)
Most teams, if not all, have gotten good use out of their two-way players by this point in the season. A few among them have used up those players’ eligibility and been forced to get new ones, and one (the Suns) signed a two-wayer to a real contract because of how good he was than…
Read MoreTrey Burke 14 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2018)
Is this the reason Trey Burke was out of the league? Because all he wants to do is spam midrange jumpers out of pick-and-roll situations? Midrange jumpers are cool and all, but there’s a reason that there was a huge backlash against them starting around six or seven years ago: there’s usually a better shot…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
There have been 18 20-20 games this season. The list of players who’ve accomplished this feat is, predictably, basically a list of the reboundiest centers in the game. Cousins (who has frickin’ THREE 40-20 games holy buckets), Drummond, Howard, Whiteside, Towns, Jordan, Antetokounmpo (outlier alert). And Enes Kanter. That’s the company Kanter is in. Elite…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2018)
Oops! Almost forgot to do this Enes Kanter video. Oops part two: and I almost forgot to show him beefing it up with Devin Booker after decisively rejecting his weaksauce layup attempt. I have to say, what’s up with Kanter and beefing with people? He loves playing the role of the antagonist. Not as confrontational…
Read MoreTrey Burke 18 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2018)
Trey “Prime A.I.” Burke did the majority of his damage tonight, 16 points worth, in a span of 6 minutes in the fourth quarter before getting subbed out for Frank Ntilikina (who is officially obsolete now just thought I’d mention that). The Suns are bad, but they’re still an NBA team who doesn’t especially want…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 21 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
Forget about Trey Lyles for Sixth Man of the Year. That was dumb of me to even suggest, and I’m deeply apologetic. What I really meant to say was maybe Michael Beasley should win Sixth Man of the Year? If he played more minutes, I think he’d be the favorite. He’s scoring in bunches of…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
Enes Kanter has to be one of the most layup-prone players in the league. During his time in Utah, he was not shy about shooting the midrange jumpers. He even extended his range to the three-point line right around the time he got traded to OKC. That’s what you expect from youngish players; they expand…
Read MoreTrey Burke 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
I kept doing double-takes while assembling this video. First, because my eyes kept telling me I was looking at prime Allen Iverson wearing a Knicks jersey, and second, because once I finally internalized that I was watching Trey Burke, I couldn’t believe that he kept scoring the rock and getting assists. For real though, this…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 20 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2018)
Since I know that nobody is going to watch this video (it’s Courtney Lee, after all), I am going to institute a new “highlight suitability” protocol to more accurately determine when a Courtney Lee highlight video needs to be made. It will use a proprietary algorithm, developed in-house, running on a state-of-the-art neural net, to…
