Team USA captured the Gold Medal at the World Junior Champions in Ufa, Russia by defeating defending champions Sweden 3-1.
One characteristic we have seen this Knicks team show several times this season is their ability to rise to the occasion. They haven't done it every time, but many times when the Knicks see a top opponent in front of them they play their best basketball.
"Guess who just contributed to the crime rate in NYC," tweeted New York Daily News reporter Frank Isola.
Sometime between Stephen Jackson's sideline stumble and J.R. Smith's soaring slam, the San Antonio Spurs realized this wasn't their night. Too much fatigue and way too much Knicks defense.
Huh? Are you serious? Am I really going to believe that at every level, from AAU to high school to the NBA, not one person has taught Amar'e Stoudemire defensive fundamentals?
There was a lot of paper and ink wasted Wednesday morning on stories about Amar'e Stoudemire. But what about the real issue?
The Knicks sorely miss Shumpert's tenacious on-ball defending.
Carmelo Anthony scored a season high-tying 45 points, but the Portland Trail Blazers still beat the New York Knicks 105-100 Tuesday night, spoiling Amare Stoudemire's season debut.
Ann Liguori's wishes for the New Year as it relates to New York sports.
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire will make his season debut on Tuesday night.
James Johnson made a 3-pointer at the buzzer Friday night, lifting the Sacramento Kings to a 106-105 victory over the New York Knicks after blowing an early 27-point lead.
The return of Stoudemire shouldn't really be a big deal. It's very clear that Anthony, the main man no matter who is on the Knicks, has to get the overwhelming majority of his minutes at the four.
In the end, the Nets are going to have to live with Stan Van Gundy, Jeff Van Gundy or Nate McMillan as the head coach. All of those candidates give the Nets more than nice-guy Avery. None of them would give them as much as Jackson.
Knicks point guard Raymond Felton won't need surgery on his broken right pinky finger and is expected to be out at least a month.
Avery Johnson was fired on Thursday as coach of the Brooklyn Nets, who have fallen to .500 in their season of new surroundings and elevated expectations.
Raymond Felton told reporters on Wednesday night that he has a fracture in his right pinkie, which was found after he underwent an X-ray at halftime.
But in truth, perhaps the biggest difference maker of them all this year has been Jason Kidd. He looked washed up last year, but at some point in the offseason he either found the Fountain of Youth or built a DeLorean.
Without Carmelo Anthony in the lineup, J.R. Smith embraced the role of crunch time go-to guy and delivered another clutch game-winning shot.
J.R. Smith sank a baseline 21-footer at the buzzer after a Phoenix turnover with a second to play, giving the depleted New York Knicks a 99-97 victory over the Suns on Wednesday night.
On December 2, Felton bruised his left hand against the Suns. Then, on December 13, he bruised his right hand against the Lakers. His Christmas gift from Santa on Tuesday was a sprained ligament on the pinky finger of his shooting hand. He's a mess.
The New York Knicks got off to their best start in decades due in large part to consistent 3-point shooting. They've recently struggled to hit from outside, and the team's recent slide looks like no coincidence.
The Knicks may have to play Wednesday night's game in Phoenix without point guard Raymond Felton.
