We’ve got a new look website and a brand new Knickscast episode for you. Episode #14 is our wackiest one yet. Check it out on the right!

If this isn’t your first time visiting Knickscast, you’ll notice that our website looks a lot different today than it has for the past several months. We’ve been redesigning the site for some time and are happy to roll out the new version this week — please bear with us as a few kinks are being worked out.

In the meantime, check out a few of the new features:

* Latest Episodes — check out the 3 most recent episodes of our show on the right side of the page.

* Get notified of new Knickscast episodes via e-mail

* Become a fan of our brand new Facebook page

* Flickr photos — tag a new photo you upload on flickr “nyknicks” or “knickscast” and you might see it on our site

There are many additional features on the new site. Feel free to make yourself at home and check them out.

With the all-star break, Carl and I took a break of our own. But now we’re back! Check out our latest episode on the right. The guys over at Celticscast decided to be nice and raised the stakes with our little chicken suit bet. I now have a 25-game cushion instead of the original 13 I proposed. I am currently scheduling a day to head into the costume store to get fitted. We will keep you posted! In the meantime, keep sending in your responses for our Question of the Week.

Question of the Week

If you could hire anyone, and we mean anyone, who would you hire to replace Isiah Thomas?

Episode #11 is the Lost Episode and #12 is the latest episode. We recorded both within a day of each other, so be sure to check both out!

If you could pick anybody (and we mean anybody), who would be your replacement for Isiah Thomas as head coach?

Call us (347) 410-9093 or send responses to hosts@knickscast.com

We will read and play your responses on next week’s show.

In our newest segment of Knickscast.com, the Question of the Week, we are asking who would you pick to be Isiah Thomas’ replacement? Well here is my pick… Whoopi Goldberg. The woman is such a legend. She whipped the church choir into shape in Sister Act and Sister Act 2 (I liked Part II better). And as my partner in prime Carl Nasman correctly pointed out, in the movie Eddie (1996), Whoopi wins a halftime contest to become coach of the Knicks for a day and ends up bringing them back to glory! She is the perfect candidate. Take a look at the movie poster from back in the day…

But what puts me over the edge is her inspiring performance in Sister Act II. One of my all-time favorites. She doesn’t even need a resume. The video below proves why she should be the next New York Knicks coach. Lauryn Hill also sends chills with her solo. One of Carl’s favorites. Pardon the video appearance. I am trying to figure out how to embed the videos and center them up.

Carl and I were recording our latest episode of Knickscast. We were finished, breathed a sigh of relief, and then realize the record button crapped out on us midway through the taping. So what do you do when your audio software stops working? You post a lost episode! Check it out…

The Knicks go 0 for 5 on their West Coast road trip after dropping their get-away game to the lowly Sonics.

NY shoots 29% from the floor, 61% from the line, and is out-rebounded 55-34.  For all their effort, and for three fourth quarter leads, the Knicks come up with a donut.  It’s going to be a long plane ride home.

On the latest edition of Knickscast we give a shout-out to the folks overseas (drop us a line back: 347-410-9093 or hosts@knickscast.com) and we bring on Mike Dougherty of The Journal News to break down the Knicks’ West Coast conundrum.
