Posting and Toasting Okay! Tonight will end with either a close to the 2012-2013 Knicks season or a new glimmer of hope for this disappointing series against the Pacers. Tip-off tonight is at 8 and there'll be a game thread up before then. For now, let's catch up on where things stand heading into tonight's game: - Kenyon Martin's right wrist is bothering him, but it doesn't sound like it'll limit his availability tonight. - On that note, Mike Woodson is expected to go back to his normal small lineup tonight. I approve this decision (or undoing of a previous bad decision) and hope he'll lean toward distrib...
New York Knicks May 16, 2013New York Post Kenyon Martin didn’t join his teammates in shooting practice Wednesday because of an apparent new wrist injury. Tuesday night in the visitor’s locker room in Indianapolis, Martin sported either a black soft cast or wrap on his right wrist. Martin, who also has the flu, was nowhere to...
New York Knicks May 16, 2013Knicks Blog | New York Post Charles Wenzelberg/New York PostPablo Prigioni on the bench during Game 4 -- where he spent much of the contest. Mike Woodson indicated he’s probably going back to smallball Thursday night in the Knicks' do-or-die Game 5 at the Garden, reinserting Pablo Prigioni into the starting lineup. For the first time, Woodson deviated and started Kenyon Martin at the power forward, shifting Carmelo Anthony to small forward. The big lineup of Melo-Martin-Chandler didn’t help their rebounding woes as the Pacers held a 54-36 bulge. VOTE: WHO IS THE KNICKS' PLAYOFF GOAT? The Knicks were 16-2 with ...
New York Knicks May 15, 2013CBSSports.com Fantasy Knicks forward Kenyon Martin was able to shake off an illness during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at Indiana. Martin, who was being considered a game-time decision entering the contest, logged 29 minutes but failed to score in the 93-82 defeat. He missed on three of his field-goal attempts and added five rebounds, three assists and two blocks to his stat line.
May 15, 2013Knicks Blog | ESPN New York INDIANAPOLIS -- In an attempt to neutralize the Pacers size advantage, Mike Woodson went with a bigger starting five for Game 4. He inserted Kenyon Martin into the starting lineup and took out Pablo Prigioni. The bigger front line didn't produce the desired results. The Knicks were out rebounded, 54-36. Indiana had 16 offensive rebounds and 19 second-chance points. The Pacers outscored the Knicks, 36-26, in the paint. "Rebounding wise we got hammered on the boards again," Woodson said after the Knicks' Game 4 loss.
New York Knicks May 14, 2013Knicks Blog | ESPN New York INDIANAPOLIS -- After getting outrebounded in their two losses to Indiana, the Knicks will go with a bigger starting lineup in Game 4. Mike Woodson will start Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert in the backcourt and Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Tyson Chandler on the front line. Pablo Prigioni will now come off the bench. The Knicks won 13 straight regular season games after inserting Prigioni into the starting lineup on March 18. But they have been outrebounded badly in two losses in this series, and that appears to be a more pressing concern for Woodson.
New York Knicks May 14, 2013Knicks Blog | ESPN New York Since the Knicks' Game 3 loss on Saturday, Tyson Chandler has expressed his displeasure with the team's offense, Kenyon Martin has come down with an illness, J.R. Smith still feels sick, and now Iman Shumpert is dealing with soreness in his surgically-repaired left knee. But the veteran Knicks have rallied when they've had roster issues before. They will need to do so more than ever in Game 4, because the Knicks have never come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series in franchise history.
New York Knicks May 14, 2013Knicks Zone | Bergen Record The Knicks are confident that they will be on the same page when they take the floor tonight for Game 4 – but just who will be on the floor is a murkier problem. While J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin … Continue reading →

Posting and Toasting Knicks shootaround just happened in preparation for tonight's crucial Game 4 at Fielders Bank Lifehouse. There is good health news and there is murky/bad health news. The good news is that J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin a.k.a Team Influenza will play tonight and have not-- at least not yet-- infected other Knicks. Martin, for one, is still pretty sick, but he's ready to go nonetheless. We can also confirm that Martin and Smith are not bedfellows. The murky/bad news is that Iman Shumpert's "sore" left knee, which kept him out of practice yesterday for precautionary reasons, is causing mor...

New York Knicks May 12, 2013New York Daily News Kenyon Martin joined J.R. Smith in sick bay Sunday, but that doesn’t mean anyone should expect Amar’e Stoudemire’s minutes to increase much Tuesday in his second game back from March knee surgery. Stoudemire was one of the Knicks’ few effective players at the offensive end in their 81-72 Game 3 loss Saturday night.
New York Knicks May 12, 2013Knicks Blog | New York Post INDIANAPOLIS – Kenyon Martin missed practice today at Bankers Life Field House because of flu-like symptoms – with Knicks coach Mike Woodson worried it could be spreading around. J.R. Smith and Martin both stayed back in the team hotel. Smith came down with a severe virus Friday night, had a 102-degree fever Saturday and played at less-than-full-strength in last night’s 82-71 loss to the Pacers. Smith shot 4 of 12 and had low energy on defense. “Kenyon is kind of coming down with it too,’’ Woodson said. “So we got to be careful this doesn’t spread and other guys start dropping.
