Knicks fans will be seeing a whole lot less of Doc Rivers next season and beyond.
"Here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans," Christie said. "The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us."
Knicks great Patrick Ewing has been waiting more than 10 years for his shot as head coach in the NBA, and his son isn't too happy about it.
Doc Rivers would be the Knicks' best coach since Pat Riley -- sorry Jeff Van Gundy, but it's true -- and that hiring would make the Jason Kidd signing look like nothing more than a PR stunt.
Jason Kidd retired just over a week ago and already has a head coaching job. Knicks great Patrick Ewing has been waiting over 10 years for his shot. And that's enough to get under his son's skin.
Brooklyn's coaching search is "strongly pointing toward" Kidd after his meeting with team brass, the Post reported, adding that he's "viewed as the leading candidate for the job."
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was tops among the 27 baseball players on the list and No. 18 overall with $30.3 million, although he is currently facing the possibility of a 100-game suspension.
Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw has emerged as a serious target of general manager Billy King and owner Mikhail Prokhorov, according to a report.
Kidd instantly made the Nets relevant, then respected, then regal.
According to a report, the Nets and former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy have begun preliminary talks over their head coaching position.
After a notably less-than-stellar performance in the last month of the season, Knicks point guard Jason Kidd said he hasn't watched any basketball since getting ousted by the Pacers in a devastating game 6 loss in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
"There's a lot of different stuff I may have the opportunity to do," Kidd said. "If I play, I plan on playing for the Knicks. I got to be honest with myself. I'm a young man. (But) I got to see if I could still mentally do the grind all over again."
The six-time All-Star is worried that general manager Glen Grunwald won't add an additional piece in the offseason, a source told the New York Post.
Out before Memorial Day. It was all so sudden, mostly because of the mammoth expectations we placed on our favorite teams this season.
Who said anything about a championship? Even the most optimistic fan knows that the Nets are miles away from "glory road."
Conference Finals have arrived. See the official schedule of games, scores and seedings.
NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony led the second team, joined by guards Russell Westbrook and Tony Parker, center Marc Gasol and forward Blake Griffin.
Anthony first hurt his left shoulder on April 14 against the Pacers. Now it seems he played the entire playoff run -- 12 games -- with a partially torn labrum.
On Tuesday I went over the Knicks' financial situation for the next three years, so keep that in mind as we go through the offseason decisions that the Knicks will have to make. Here are where the pivotal points are going to be.
Amar'e Stoudemire will go into next season with $45 million left on his contract and no guarantee of a starting job. He also could remain a reserve who plays restricted minutes.
"I think we took a step forward," Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald told Mike Francesa on Tuesday. "Obviously we didn't get to the ultimate goal, which we're trying to reach, but it's not over. I like the team. I'm not discouraged."
Big changes are not coming now. They are two years away. They do have to get better, but that will be incremental, not dramatic. The Knicks are Melo's team, and right now, that's a good thing.
Boeheim says Anthony has no shot at winning an NBA title with the Knicks. Or at least with these Knicks.
Some of the players were old, though the Knicks say their team is young in its development. So they feel they need time, not an overhaul, to get further next season.
As to the outcome of Anthony's exam? Neither a wait-and-see approach nor surgery would be surprising. However, this injury is more than a warning sign and it doesn't bode well.
