The mystery of what exactly happened to Patriots owner Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring was one of many odd places sports wandered into this year...
This year was so packed with gigantic stories that we had to add a whopping 13 honorable mentions. And believe us, those had to be narrowed down, too.
This group of players has run its course, as has the Carmelo Anthony era. The trade for Melo was a failure. The idea of building around him hasn't worked. It's time to accept it, cut losses and move on.
The Toronto Raptors beat New York for the second straight night, topping the short-handed Knicks 115-100 on Saturday.
The Knicks confirmed on their official public relations Twitter account that Carmelo Anthony did not travel to Toronto for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Jonas Valanciunas had 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points, and the Toronto Raptors rallied for a 95-83 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night.
Anthony is considered day-to-day. Woodson doesn't expect Melo to make the trip to Toronto on Saturday.
Knicks owner James Dolan has reportedly told his players that no major changes will be made to the roster or coaching staff.
"Had I been able to stick with the plan that we had here, and let those young players develop the way they were developing, right now they would be a pretty good basketball team in the East," Thomas said.
"We won it last year and I expect us to win it this year," Woodson, thought by many to be sitting on the hot seat, said. "...Do I see some light at the end of the tunnel? I do."
The small forward, who sprained his left ankle in the Knicks' 103-98 win over Orlando on Monday, might not return this weekend, according to a report.
For all of Mike D'Antoni's faults, it's hard to say he wouldn't be doing a better job with these Knicks than Mike Woodson is. It's been that bad.
"Don't just be a coach, be a person," Udrih said after the game on Wednesday, though he didn't specifically mention head coach Mike Woodson.
Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Russell Westbrook had a triple-double by the middle of the third quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled to a 123-94 victory over the Knicks, who played without Carmelo Anthony.
Carmelo Anthony will miss the New York Knicks' game against Oklahoma City with a sprained left ankle, unable to take part in a Christmas Day showdown with Kevin Durant.
