With the playoffs out of the equation, now the speculation begins on whether or not Melo has played his last game with the Knickerbockers.
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 16 points and the New York Knicks, playing without the injured Carmelo Anthony, beat the Brooklyn Nets 109-98 on Tuesday night to win the season series between city rivals.
We are sure of one thing: The Knicks are eulogized every April, a yearly ritual as natural as the Asters popping pink in Central Park.
Anthony was getting his sore right shoulder evaluated Tuesday morning and coach Mike Woodson says the Knicks' leading scorer "probably won't" play against the Nets. The Knicks end their season at home Wednesday against Toronto.
The Queens native didn't play in the NBA this season. In February, the 6-foot-10, 230-pound big man signed with Laboral Kutxa of the Spanish ACB League. Because of a back injury he played in just two games in Spain.
Amar'e Stoudemire has said he'd like to finish his career with the Knicks. But there's a very real possibility he could bolt to join a team that he co-owns in Israel.
Last year proved to be nothing more than a tease to the fan base. There's been plenty of hurt over the years, but this year's was of a different variety.
Here's something that may not sit well with Knicks fans. "What is it like to play for Thibs?" Melo recently asked a former Bulls player, according to the Daily News.
The Knicks' star forward, who has been playing with an ailing right shoulder, might sit out Sunday night's game against the Bulls.
Even with a 1-14 stretch in February and March, the Atlanta Hawks made the Eastern Conference field with two games remaining.
Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points, Amare Stoudemore had 24 points and 11 rebounds and the New York Knicks kept their slim playoff hopes alive by beating the Toronto Raptors 108-100 on Friday night.
Carmelo Anthony says he'll put his damaged shoulder to the test until the Knicks are eliminated. If they don't get a move on and get some help he could be shut down by Saturday.
Legendary radio host Howard Stern is not a huge fan of former Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy. In fact, it's safe to say that he despises him.
We have seen Carmelo Anthony break down physically in the fourth quarter before, and now it is fair to wonder if he will be himself for what remains of this regular season.
"I think it's just troublesome to me to bring in Phil Jackson," Brown said. "Not that he won't be great, but let him coach ... If that's the way they want to do it, let him coach and give Woody a way to leave graciously."
