Hopefully, as Kidd explained in his press conference, this was all about basketball and not something related to Frank's personal situation.
Before Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Metta World Peace and Kenyon Martin were involved in a heated verbal argument after a team workout.
According to a report, the Knicks could be targeting Jeff Van Gundy as their next head coach.
Joe Johnson scored 26 points, Brook Lopez added 12 of his 20 in the fourth quarter, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Memphis Grizzlies 97-88 on Saturday night.
We find the Nets and Knicks are Naismith allergic. They can't play offense or defense. They are injured. They are in discord and disarray.
The NBA said Kidd intentionally spilled his drink on the court as an unusual stall tactic.
Nets head coach Jason Kidd appeared to tell Tyshawn Taylor to "hit me" as the guard walked toward the bench. Taylor then bumped into the Nets' head coach, causing Kidd to spill a cup of soda on the court.
Kenyon Martin hit a jumper with 4:30 to play, the Knicks were still in it. The Knicks missed their next six shots and scored only two points the rest of the night.
Wesley Johnson made the tiebreaking basket on a steal and dunk with 1:35 left, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew a 27-point lead before beating the Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night.
The Knicks' nightmarish start just keeps getting worse. New York lost its sixth straight game Monday, this one to the Trail Blazers, who put it away early.
Brooklyn coach Jason Kidd seems to be out of answers after going with the end of his bench for much of the fourth quarter in Sunday's loss.
Nets fell to 3-10, a half-game behind the New York Knicks, and were hearing boos at Barclays Center in the second half.
Brook Lopez and Deron Williams both were out again with sprained left ankles.
The Brooklyn Nets aren't playing like playoff contenders. Nowhere near it. And some are starting to think the problem begins with rookie coach Jason Kidd.
"Got to figure it out," Melo said after New York's third straight loss Tuesday. "That's the only thing I can say about this. We've got to figure it out quick."
The Knicks are playing not only against their opponents, but a timer that will hit zero at a time of Dolan's choosing. When it does, all New York fans will feel the pain.
Garnett was supposed to help change the Nets' notoriously soft culture. It's hard to do that five minutes at a time.
The Knicks admitted they didn't play with defensive intensity or a fighting spirit, which is far worse than just playing poorly.
The NBA has fined controversial Knicks guard J.R. Smith $25,000 for his Twitter exchange with Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Jennings.
Asked if it was tough that the Knicks sent Harden to the line often when they got close, Melo replied, "We didn't put him on the line, they put him on the line."
James Harden scored 36 points in his return to the lineup and the Houston Rockets withstood Carmelo Anthony's 45 points to beat the Knicks 109-106 Thursday night.
The league debuted short-sleeved jerseys on Thursday for the 10 teams that will play on the holiday, replacing the traditional sleeveless NBA uniforms.
Carmelo Anthony continued his success against Atlanta by scoring 25 points and the Knicks regrouped after blowing a 17-point lead to beat the Hawks 95-91 on Wednesday night.
Marcus Thornton scored a season-high 24 points after losing his starting spot to rookie Ben McLemore, and the Sacramento Kings snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Brooklyn Nets 107-86 on Wednesday night.
