If CBS News Writers Strike, Democrats Will Nix Debate Several presidential candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson -have announced their intentions not to cross picket lines for a debate sponsored by CBS News on December 10th. The Writers Guild of America announced earlier this week that its members who work for the network’s television and radio operations at both the national and local level have authorized a strike vote. The members have......

If you're a Nets fan, you probably keep the Tums close at hand. Last night, the Nets managed to lose in the final moments of the game again. This time to the Philadelphia 76ers, 100-98. It was the 2nd night in a row that the Nets lost in overtime (they lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday) . The only other time the franchise has consecutive overtime losses is in 1977. The loss was......

At least the Knicks don't stink at everything. They may sit at 19-48 with the second-worst record in the NBA, but their dance team has made it to the quarterfinals of the NBA.com Dance Team Bracket. In the spirit of March and all things bracket, the NBA decided to pair off the dance squads and allow fans a voting period for each matchup to determine a winner. Thanks to a first-round bye and a......

After back-to-back collapses at home it was hard to see how things could get worse for the Knicks. Friday night they provided the answer, falling 122-111 to the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks had won only four games prior to beating the Knicks. The Knicks defense was absent all night allowing the Hawks to score 71 points in the first half and to shoot an astounding 63.2% from the field for the game; the highest......

Even though the season's winding down, the New York Knicks are taking advantage of spring fever and organizing another Singles Night at Madison Square Garden. After a successful event earlier this year, Gothamist is teaming up with the Knicks again for an evening of mixing and mingling before, during and after a game against the Atlanta Hawks on April 17. Tickets are $75, which includes a discounted $60.50 ticket in the Singles area, food and......

The very average Chicago Bulls pulled out of town last night with their second "W" over the Knicks in 3 days. What is amazing about this is that both games were literally lost at the buzzer (in fact, Ben Gordon's runner put the Bulls ahead with .1 second to play) due to poor Knicks play. Yesterday, NY actually had an eight-point lead with just over three minutes left, yet somehow managed to stop scoring and......

Further proof that it is the Warriors, and not the Clippers, that are the NBA's most hapless franchise. Golden State has agreed in principle to deal prized free agent center Erick Dampier to the Knicks for back ups Nazr Mohammed and Othella Harrington. However, the deal is not complete yet. Dampier must agree to a sign and trade deal to make it to the Big Apple, but first he is meeting with the Atlanta Hawks......

At 12:01 AM this morning, NBA free agents finally became eligible to put their John Hancock on the deals they agreed to over the last two weeks. While most of the press is focusing on where Kobe Bryant will land, local hoops fans are waiting with baited breath to find out what Kenyon Martin decides to do. Both the Atlanta Hawks and the Denver Nuggets will present K-Mart with an offer sheet giving him the......

With the Pistons Championship firmly in the books, the offseason is now underway. The other 28 teams that stopped playing a long time ago have been feverishly preparing for next week’s draft for some time now. This draft figures to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory due to the flood of teenagers (a record 10 could potentially be drafted in the first round) and European big men that aren’t much older. This......
