  • Jets Geno No more playoff guarantees

    Apparently, bold proclamations are reserved for coach Rex Ryan.Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith says he was reprimanded for guaranteeing a playoff berth in his first interview after being drafted by Gang Green in the second round last month. That, he promised, will be his last Joe Namath moment, though The Post dubbed him Broadway Geno on the front page following his selection by the ...

  • Spurs dominate Grizzlies in Game 1 of Western Conference finals

    Game 1 had a brick wall feel to it for the Grizzlies, who entered the conference finals having won eight of their last nine games only to immediately fall by 22 points, their worst defeat since January and their third-worst of the season. Many playoff games require complex, nuanced, detailed analysis. Game 1 of the Western Conference finals can be summed up in a simple formula… ...

  • After falling short Knicks will be hard-pressed to change roster

    Carmelo Anthony did a better job spinning in the postgame interview room late Saturday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse than spinning in the lane for a bucket in the fourth quarter of ill-fated Game 6."It’s a learning curve for us and we’ll be back better and stronger next year for sure,’’ Anthony said, adding, "We had a hell of a year.’’But getting ...

  • Shumpert defies old thinking

    Next season, Carmelo Anthony’s main sidekick could be a healthy, emerging Iman Shumpert.One major issue with the Knicks’ roster going forward is its lack of upside: The team is ancient, and few players have real room for NBA growth. One of the exceptions is Shumpert, who just emblazoned his second year as a pro with an electric playoff run, capped by his 3-pointer binge in Game 6 in ...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World [Blu-Ray]

Movies have always been a bastard art form, drawing bits and pieces from all previous arts and assembling them into something that is simultaneously modern and ancient; its part of what makes movies so unique and compelling. And, because the cinema developed in tandem wi ... ...

  • Blueshirts again in 2-0 hole after B’s wax Lundqvist

    BOSTON - It is not an enviable position the Rangers are in, not by any stretch of the imagination. But just two weeks ago they were in the same hole, facing the same dire circumstances, and they found a way to claw out.So yesterday afternoon’s 5-2 loss to the Bruins at TD Garden in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals was not a reason for panic, at least not inside the Rangers ...

  • More than goodwill Knicks need good play from Amar’e

    He was the first one who said it, whether or not he really believed it, or understood it. This was July 5, 2010, and Amar’e Stoudemire and the Knicks had just agreed to a five-year, $99.7 million, and Stoudemire, looking to summarize the transaction, did so simply and succinctly and, by now, rather famously."The Knicks," he declared, "are back."Those four words, as much ...

  • Rangers have little hope if King falls subject to slump

    Blog: Slap Shots BOSTON - It is difficult enough for the Rangers to win even when Henrik Lundqvist is at the top of his game. It is all but impossible for the Blueshirts to even come close when The King plays as if he’s a plebeian.Which goes a long way in explaining yesterday, when it appeared as if the Bruins were shooting pucks made out of Kryptonite rather than vulcanized rubber at the ...

  • Nash finally shows off some playoff flash

    BOSTON - This is the Rick Nash everyone has been waiting for this postseason, the one the Rangers desperately need if they’d like to find their way out of the second round.The star winger finally got his first goal of the postseason in yesterday afternoon’s 5-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at TD Garden, giving Boston a 2-0 series lead. Through ...

  • Melo can’t win four series all by himself

    Steve Serby Carmelo Anthony will sell tickets, titillate Celebrity Row, make the Garden a warm attraction in the dead of winter, hopefully for many more winters.But this is supposed to be about bringing a championship to New York, and he is doomed, he will never win that elusive championship if he has to do it alone. Because no one can, not even LeBron. You think Bill Russell would have won even ...
