After watching the New York Knicks win eight of their first 10 games, you can rest assured: These ain’t Jeremy Lin’s Knicks. Yes, that’s a good thing. And I am not the only one saying so. On Friday night, when the Knicks take on Lin and James Harden in Houston, we’ll be reminded of the fact that James Dolan ultimately decided to let Lin walk, for free, to the Houston Rockets. The decision to let such a valuable asset walk, for nothing,

Sheridan: Knicks are better off without Jeremy Lin
Personally, I never got all that caught up in Linsanity. I appreciate his game, I love the reckless abandon he shows going to the hoop, I admire his knowledge and his devotion to his faith, and I called him “Time Magazine cover material” a week before he was on the cover of Time Magazine. I’m glad he got papered (NBA parlance for getting paid). [Read more…]
D-League season opens with 10 NBA players on assignment
Jeremy Lin in the D-League in 2011. Just for kicks, can we have one of the D-League teams schedule an exhibition against Jack Taylor and Grinnell College? I nominate the Iowa Energy. Justin Hurtt could take it as a personal challenge. I’d bet he’d put a little Hurtt on Mr. Taylor. [Read more…]

If the Charlotte Bobcats win tonight, they will equal their victory total from all of last season. That’s right; they would be 7-4 instead of 7-59, an improvement that is beyond belief. [Read more…]
Tweet of the Night: Shawn Marion
Welcome to Black Friday, a national disgrace. Pardon my venom this early on a Friday morning, but the very idea of lining up 24 hours before a sale begins has always struck me as beyond ridiculous. And then there are the stores that decide to open only one door, leading the a phenomenon familiar to anyone who remembers what happened in Cincinnati when The Who scheduled a show with festival seating. I got back from seeing fam and passed a few walmarts,
Sheridan Hoops Rookie Rankings: Week Three
Damian Lillard made a rookie mistake Sunday night. Lillard didn’t lose track of the shot clock. He didn’t go under the pick-and-roll on a shooter. He didn’t forget to bring the Krispy Kremes to practice. He broke an unwritten NBA rule. [Read more…]
