Could Friday and Sunday night for the Knicks been any different? It's the beauty of basketball that the same group of players can give such contrasting performances only two days apart.
The Knicks won a thrilling game in Miami, but beating the Heat was as odd as losing to Cleveland two nights earlier. If you peeled off your Charles Oakley Snuggie you'd see that there's sincere concern over the Melo deal.
You may have heard the big news last week: The Knicks finally got Carmelo Anthony. Perhaps lost in the shuffle of Melomania was that Chauncey Billups made the trip from Denver as well — and that move is already looking brilliant for New York.
New York hoops hasn't been this entertaining in a while. But owners point to Carmelo Anthony's move from Denver to New York, and Deron Williams from Utah to New Jersey as proof the league needs a hard salary cap to stem the exodus of stars from small-market teams to big ones.

Carmelo Anthony missed a key late free throw and fouled out of his first road game with the Knicks, who may have taken Cleveland too lightly and were beaten 115-109 on Friday night by the fired-up Cavaliers.
Carmelo Anthony makes his Knicks road debut Friday night trying to help his new team avoid a 10th straight loss the Cavaliers, who made a few intriguing moves shortly before Thursday's trade deadline.
Of course the Knicks had to pull the trigger on a Carmelo Anthony trade. But questions surrounding the trade remain; mainly, did the Knicks have to give up so much?
Knicks president Donnie Walsh admitted Thursday he didn't know the Utah Jazz were involved in talks to deal Deron Williams. "No, I didn't. I really didn't," Walsh said.
Carmelo's Knicks debut was the kind of game New York might have lost a week ago. Amar'e Stoudemire had fouled out, forcing the Knicks to protect a four-point lead in the final minute. Before, that would have been panic time. Now, it's Anthony's time.
Carmelo Anthony's Knicks debut drew the highest rating for a regular-season game on MSG network since Michael Jordan's famed "double-nickel'' game 16 years ago.
Frank Isola of the Daily News joined Marc Malusis on Thursday to talk about Isiah Thomas' alleged involvement in the Carmelo Anthony trade, and what he described as "spin control" by Knicks owner James Dolan.
There's been a lot of debate about Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire working together. There will be issues the two will have to work out, and first and foremost is floor spacing.
Moral victories are incidental to most fans. But dealing for Deron Williams and his quick feet was no small feat. If he's not as good as Carmelo Anthony, he's close enough.
