Veteran Nets forward Jeff Green hopes to play “until the wheels fall off,” he told the New York Post’s Steve Serby in an extended interview. “Hopefully I’ll play another 10 years, but who knows?” the 34-year-old said. Green touched on a wide variety of subjects, from his college tenure with Georgetown to his life-saving heart surgery while with the Celtics to his three dream dinner guests.
There’s more out of the City That Never Sleeps:
- Luck has been with new Knicks team president Leon Rose thus far this season, says Marc Berman of the New York Post. The 17-17 Knicks have also benefited from several savvy decisions by Rose, including the hirings of new head coach Tom Thibodeau and ex-Kentucky assistant Kenny Payne, the drafting of exciting point guard Immanuel Quickley and athletic dunker Obi Toppin, and the retention of forward Julius Randle, who has blossomed into an All-Star this year.
- Nets head coach Steve Nash anticipates that rookie power forward Reggie Perry will improve as a three-point shooter, according to Chris Milholen of Nets Daily. “We like Reggie’s skill set,” Nash said. “He’s a guy that can develop into a very good three-point shooter and he’s got a good feel for the game.” Perry is currently connecting on 16.7% of his 0.9 three-point attempts per game with Brooklyn, but has taken major strides while with the Nets’ G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, on the NBAGL Orlando “bubble” campus. There, Perry has made 44% of his 2.3 triple attempts a night, across 11 games.
- Knicks fans are spending hundreds of dollars on rapid PCR pre-game COVID-19 tests, according to Sara Dorn and Khristina Narizhnaya of the New York Post. Up to 2,000 fans can attend games in Madison Square Garden, provided they test negative within three days of a game’s start time.
Good to see Knicks success
4th seed
Seeding is the most important
Hope to see Knicks win a playoffs series this year
Knicks vs Pistons today
I just hope they can make the playoffs. Their schedule is pretty brutal in the second half.
They’re only 1 game out of 10th place right now, the Knicks still have plenty of opportunities left to extend their 7-year playoff drought.
No doubt. If they manage to make it in, it will really be an accomplishment.
Seriously dude you got no clue what’s at stake here. We are building a young core, a young team into winners. This is about the big picture. Thibs hasn’t even figured out his core yet. Playoffs are a product of good work and perseverance. We have 3 of top 32 picks in deepest draft in yrs. We can possibly have over 40 mill in cap money for FA. There will be major upgrade to this team next yr. This roster most on this board thought 22 wins was success this yr. Which the national media also killed. Rebuilding from the draft hasn’t been done in NY since the Ewing days. That’s (1985) 35 yrs ago. You may not know this, Dolan definitely doesn’t. Building thru the draft is the best way to build a true winner. Big picture Bro. Rockets should try it oh oh oh wait
Oh no ….. they don’t have their picks.

Knicks FO (so called “we”) are not rebuilding. Teams only do that half-a if they do. Dolan Hired Rose and Thibs, not youth guidance counselors. They are trying to win, not sabotaging a playoff possibility to draft higher. They re-signed veterans they signed last year, and added Burks, Rivers & Noel, and traded for Rose. No sign of new kids except the standard number of draft picks. The new veterans do not even have the rep as mentors.
Right plan? All one can do is have opinions. This summer though I’m sure they will be offering to veteran FAs.
You more than anyone here has killed the Knicks. This is what can happen when you bring in real coaching and a true vision. It takes the whole franchise on the same page to build a winner. Seems finally they are getting it done. Trust in Thibs ….
Berman is lucky to have a job writing about something he knows little about.
Berman has been killing the Knicks since Phil turned his nose on media. That got Dolan against him and of course media against him. Berman is a story chaser he don’t care about Knicks. I’ve been in other cities. At least they give their teams yrs before being over critical. Even then they don’t start to kill team. He’s been hating on Randle since we signed him and not KD n Kyrie. as if they would sign with Knicks. Just tired of his hypocrisy lol.
Berman’s been a joke for like 20 years.
