NEW YORK — After 25 games, at 19-6, we can stop wondering if the Knicks are good enough to host a first-round playoff series. Knicks fans should start thinking much bigger than that, because the ‘Bockers haven’t been this good in a long, long time. [Read more…]
Rosen: Defending champs from Miami look vulnerable

Ladewski: Bulls Should Ready for Love If Situation Arises
In Chicago, the Derrick Rose watch has begun in earnest, but only those who drink the strongest red Kool-Aid believe the Bulls will become an instant championship contender the moment that he steps onto the court again.
