Hamilton: Four Takeaways From Knicks-Heat

by

NEW YORK — On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in New York City, the old cliché held true; There’s a first time for everything. Unfortunately, today wouldn’t be the day for the first that Knicks fans were hoping for… That would have been the first time that Carmelo Anthony’s Knicks beat LeBron James’ Heat in Madison Square Garden. Instead, it was the first time that Mike Woodson lost a home game as the head coach of the New York Knicks. After dropping the

Today’s best game: Miami at New York

by

A potential first round matchup gets a vigorous nod for Sunday’s best game when the Miami Heat make their first and only appearance in New York against the Knicks. That is, until the playoffs.

LeBron James missed a game-sealing free throw that allowed the Bulls to make an improbable comeback without Derrick Rose, essentially locking

Portsmouth Day 1: Buffalo’s Mitchell Watt impresses

by

What I love most about the Portsmouth Invitation are seeing the diamonds in the rough. And there is the opportunity to have players jump out at you, players who you’d never regularly get the opportunity to see. I watch a ton of Knicks games. I don’t get the chance to see the University of Buffalo, the alma mater of one of my high school teammates who had a pretty solid career there. In the first game of a two-game showcase last night,

Tonight’s best game: New York at Milwaukee

by

The New York Knicks have yet to lose two consecutive games since Mike Woodson took over as the interim head coach. A loss tonight would end that run, and more importantly, they would surrender the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. New York (29-28) looks to even up the season series as they visit the Milwaukee Bucks in Wednesday’s best game. The first two games between the teams were taken by the Bucks, but playing for the fourth time in five nights, they

The D-League had a record 50 players called up to the NBA this season, the league announced Tuesday. The D-League also set a record with 64 NBA player assignments. The records are pleasant news for the D-League but not surprising given the abbreviated NBA training camps and the proliferation of injuries in this truncated 66-game season. The previous records were 40 call-ups in the 2009-10 season and 56 assignments in the 2010-11 campaign. All 30 NBA teams currently have at least one player
