Knicks news

Former Knicks 2-guard Allan Houston may be joining the ESPN staff as a studio analyst. Houston spent last season as a sideline analyst for MSG Network's televised Knicks games. Kenny Smith will call 20 more Knicks games for the New York Knicks this upcoming season. Patrick Ewing calls out Eddy Curry as not having the desire to be a great player, which is what I was screaming all last year on this here blog. Its not a heart problem that he has, but he's got not heart. Hopefully Curry will prove us wrong this year and prove knicks boss Isiah Thomas right (Isiah predicted he would be an allstar team candidate for the Knicks in his "quick" system).

On MSG's Boomer Esiason Show, Patrick Ewing said he should have finished his playing career where it started.

"It was both our faults, the Knicks and my own,'' Ewing said. "I should have ended my career with the Knicks.''

Ewing, who has resigned as an assistant to Jeff Van Gundy in Houston, said he would consider another job, but there is nothing going on right now. Ewing said he still roots for the Knicks, but he questions Eddy Curry's desire.

"Does he have the drive?'' Ewing said. "Does he want to be greater than myself?''

The show re-airs on MSG on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
