Knicks to Ditch Orange Jerseys Tonight

10 Replies

The fans have spoken. While the Knicks had planned on wearing their new orange alternate jerseys for all weekend home games, the team will reportedly be wearing White tonight (the normal home uniform) against the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks are 0-6 this season when wearing their orange jerseys, and as the losses have piled up, fans (and even players) have begun to complain. If the team truly is wearing white tonight… we might have a chance.

Tickets for tonight’s game start at $18, with 100’s-level seats starting at $45.

The Knicks have signed Shooting Guard / Small Forward Chris Douglas-Roberts. The 26 year-old Douglas-Roberts last played for the Mavericks. Justin Brownlee was waived to make room for Douglas-Roberts on the roster (NBA teams can only have 20 players in training camp).

BREAKING: Knicks Pick Up Coach Mike Woodson’s Option for 2014-2015

When the Knicks demoted GM Glen Grunwald last week, there were rumors that Mike Woodson’s job could be in danger. After all, Grunwald had been one of Woodson’s biggest supporters within the Knicks’ organization.

However, it appears Coach Woodson is safe, for the time being. The Knicks announced Monday that they have picked up Woodson’s option for the 2014-2015 season, meaning that his contract— which would have expired following this coming season— is guaranteed for another year.

Woodson can be stubborn and frustrating at times, but he is one of the better coaches in the league. I like the move. And so does the infamous “Koach Wudsen“

Image

Of course, the Knicks can always change their mind and fire Woodson if the team struggles this season. But this is true of every coach in the NBA… no contract can protect a Coach from being held responsible for a team’s results.

But for now, all signs are indicating that The Beard will be here for the long run.

Iman Shumpert and Kendrick Lamar to have a Rap Battle? Knick Responds to Rapper in New Track

After rapper Kendrick Lamar got the internet buzzing after calling out every relevant rapper from his era Monday Night, another rapper has decided he is up for a challenge. That rapper happens to be Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, a promising young athlete who has dabbled in the rap game as his “side hustle”. Shumpert recently scored a gig on First Lady Michelle Obama’s upcoming rap album (yes, that is happening, but Michelle will not rap on the album herself), and is clearly feeling pretty confident. Shumpert dropped his latest freestyle yesterday, and just announced that “He Will Respond” to Lamar’s aggressive comments toward other young rappers.

Shumpert ended up making a response track called “Dear Kendrick”. First, he tweeted this:

Then, he dropped this

And at the end of the song, he says he wants to be a Knick for life. So this was a pretty fun sequence of events.
