The Knicks and Nets were both set to play on Christmas Day, but a pair of 9 and 18 records has left some fans disappointed.
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony will be a game-time decision for their Christmas matchup with the Thunder. Anthony sprained his left ankle in New York's 103-98 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday.
I decided it was time for me to play part Santa Claus and part Wizard of Oz and give the Knicks much better gifts than they have ever given their fan base.
Carmelo Anthony had 19 points before leaving the game with a sprained left ankle in the third quarter, but the New York Knicks were able to stave off a fierce charge to preserve a 103-98 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
It's a confusing idea, but a proposal that NBA owners may be considering within a year to combat teams tanking seasons to get higher draft picks.
The moment that Anthony wants Woodson replaced, he will be gone. Even if the front office decided it was time to change coaches, does anyone really think it wouldn't consult Anthony's camp first?
The Knicks could be boosted by the return of point guard Raymond Felton when they face the Orlando Magic on Monday.
Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points, but the Knicks fell to the Grizzlies 95-87 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
To say the Knicks' guards have been bad this year would be an understatement. To call them the worst collection of guards in the NBA would be accurate. It's that horrid.
Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is No. 2 on the list, followed by Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks.
I hate to say it, but the Knicks are a laughingstock to fans, media and other NBA executives. And it starts at the top with owner James Dolan and trickles down to the players.
The Knicks got a win Wednesday night in Milwaukee, topping the Bucks 107-101 in double overtime and providing plenty to talk about in the process.
Asik would be a strong fit in the 'Bockers' frontcourt, as power forwards Amar'e Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin are out for an unknown period of time.
Carmelo Anthony and likely Metta World Peace will be the power forwards with guards playing the other three positions on the court. For a team that thrives in the pick-and-roll while spreading the floor, that's a good thing.
"I've let games go like that. In Atlanta, I let a couple of games go where I didn't call a timeout because they weren't set. We threw it in and Joe Johnson was able to dribble down and hit a winning shot."
