No matter the competition or the circumstances, a winning streak of this caliber is impressive. But this one does carry some red flags for the Knicks.

While the Heat could be short-handed, they should have plenty of extra incentive when the rivals wrap up their season series Tuesday night in Miami.
Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and 10 rebounds as the Knicks extended their winning streak to eight Sunday night, beating the Boston Celtics 108-89.
J.R. Smith hasn't had a run like this since high school. No NBA reserve has in more than two decades.
The Knicks haven't had Amar'e Stoudemire at full strength for either of their first-round exits in the last two years, and even he acknowledges that he's "injury prone."

Smith is taking the ball to the hoop with reckless abandon. It has turned someone known as a volume shooter into a player who could even be considered ... efficient.
J.R. Smith scored 32 points, Carmelo Anthony added 29 and the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to five games with a 100-85 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.

If Miami breaks the record and records another championship, they should stand tall next to any team that has ever played, no matter the age, wage or wager. Maybe by that time Frazier will see a little more clearly.
Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points, Kenyon Martin had another big game against Toronto, and the New York Knicks finished off a home-and-home sweep of the Raptors with a 110-84 victory Saturday night.
Former Knick Ray Williams has passed away at 58.
When the Knicks signed Kenyon Martin last month, they hoped the veteran big man might help them with a playoff push. Left short-handed by a rash of frontcourt injuries, the Knicks are suddenly counting on Martin more than they ever imagined.
