As the annual tradition goes, Santa Schmeelk is coming to town and presenting the Knicks with some gifts to help them get through this usually joyous, but now painful time of year.
Putting the Knicks on national television on Dec. 25 is equal parts sadism and masochism. They're off to the worst start in team history, which is saying a lot when you consider how bad they've been.

On Thursday, just two days after Chandler scored eight points and tallied 14 rebounds in a Mavs win over the Knicks, Jackson defended the move in a series of tweets.
Even though the team hasn't turned it around, it is a positive sign that Fisher appears to be showing some growth.
The Knicks are a franchise-worst 5-22. They have to do something, right?
If you look, you'll see the winning organizations are more organic in their success. It starts, like it often does, with ownership, which is where we hit our dead end on Seventh Avenue.

Tyson Chandler had three dunks during Dallas' sizzling start to his return to New York, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 16 points to help the Mavericks beat the Knicks 107-87 on Tuesday night.
