The Nets did something the Knicks couldn't the other night, win on the road in Cleveland. New Jersey won 99-96 thanks to big performances from key players. Deron Williams had 27 points and 10 assists. more ›

Finally we saw a point guard at MSG. The only problem was, he was playing for Phoenix. Steve Nash showed the Knicks exactly what they were missing as he led the Suns to a 91-88 win Wednesday. Nash had 26 points to go along with 11 assists. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Amar’e and Carmelo went 12-for-44 from the field with seven turnovers. more ›

Charlotte is not a good basketball team, but they have beaten the Knicks once this season and came close to doing so again Monday night. Charlotte scored the first ten points of the game before the Knicks settled down and started to play better. Imam Shumpert made his first NBA start a good one with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Tyson Chandler had 20 points and 13 rebounds, partly offsetting a terrible night from the field for Carmelo and Amar'e who combined for a 16-for-43 shooting night. They were much better at the free throw line and that proved vital as Carmelo especially hit several key free throws down the stretch as the Knicks survived 91-87. more ›

Less than two months ago, the basketball season seemed lost—but on Sunday, the NBA returns! It's going to be an exciting Christmas day to herald in the condensed 66-game season, with marquee matchups between several title contenders, including the Knicks/Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks/Miami Heat, LA Lakers/Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder/Orlando Magic and LA Clippers/Golden State Warriors. But the real question isn't who to support—everyone who cares already has a team they're loyal to—it's who to hate. And it seems there's a new villain in the league: Kris Humphries. more ›

Confirming what we've all suspected since he made a "Big 3" wedding toast nearly two years ago, Yahoo reports that the agent for New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul informed the team today that he will not sign a contract extension, and wants to be traded to the New York Knicks. Maybe Paul is just really interested in enrolling at Amare Stoudemire's Hebrew school? more ›

Now that the NBA season is pretty much dunzo, maybe we can lobby for Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to play basketball on Sesame Street! The pair's segment with Grover—to discuss the word "compare"—aired on this morning's episode and it was pretty cute: more ›

Game 3 of the first round playoff series between the Knicks and Boston Celtics, the first playoff game at MSG in seven years, may have left a particularly bad taste in everyone's mouth. But this strange iteration of the Knicks already proved in the first two games of the series that when not bogged down with injuries, they can compete for real. This afternoon, they just want to make sure they don't get swept at home: "The most important thing is just how much pride we got. I don't want to get swept. We don't want to get swept, so we gotta go out there and leave it all out there on the court, see what happens. If we got to make every hustle play, foul some guys, knock somebody out, do whatever we got to do to prevent a sweep. I've been swept before. It's a sad thing," Carmelo Anthony told reporters yesterday. more ›

Knicks 110 Pacers 109: The Knicks won their 42nd game last night—thanks to a 19-foot jump shot from Carmelo Anthony with just 4.9 seconds to go as well as a block from 'Melo—which means they will have a winning record. Anthony had 34 points in the victory over Indiana, even though he initially wanted to sit out of the game after injuring his wrist. But then "I made a 3 and said, ‘Na, don’t worry about it.'" Amar'e Stoudemire sat out for the second game with an ankle injury. more ›

Since the massive multi-player trade with the Denver Nuggets that brought Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups to the Knicks, the team has gone 7-11, and this week fell below .500. Ever since they prematurely raised ticket prices for next season, the team has been an abysmal 1-7, and haven't played consistent defense in a single game. Hell, you know things are rough when LeBron James pities you. So what is going wrong, and can the downward spiral be stopped this season? more ›

Knicks 107 New Orleans 88: Eight months ago, Chris Paul made a toast at Carmelo Anthony's wedding that referenced the idea of a triumvirate of Paul, Anthony and Stoudemire. Wednesday night, Anthony and Stoudemire gave Paul plenty of reasons to come join them when he becomes a free agent. The duo combined for 46 points with Toney Douglas adding 24 in place of Chauncey Billups as the Knicks cruised to an easy win. more ›

The Knicks and Nets both made huge trades this week, revamping their franchises with big name All-Stars on whose backs they hope to build championship teams in the near future. So how are those trades working out so far for them? more ›

Carmelo Anthony may have only been a Knick for a few days, but already he's making waves in the Big Apple gustatory circles. Before setting foot in the city, the Carnegie Deli named a (heart-stopping) sandwich after him, and now he's already had a private dinner at the Spotted Pig and Shake Shack has named a shake after him—the Car-Mallow Anthony Shake! more ›

You may remember La La Vazquez from her MTV VJ-ing and hosting reunion shows of various MTV and VH1 reality competitions (Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno, Flavor of Love, I Love New York, For the Love of Ray J) but now she's back in New York—she was born in Brooklyn— as the Big Apple newest WAG. Her husband, Carmelo Anthony, is now the Knicks' big addition and she's going to have her own VH1 reality show, La La's Full Court Life. more ›

In the aftermath of the conclusion to the Carmelodrama, the Nets made their own splashy move today, trading Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and cash to the Utah Jazz for two time All-Star point guard Deron Williams. After they lost the LeBron sweepstakes last summer, and the Carmelo one this week, the Nets were determined to emerge with a franchise player this time; and though it seemingly came together very quickly, coach Anthony Johnson says it was in the works for awhile: "This is not a Plan B. It was just one that wasn't announced. One that nobody got -- until recently. He's not a Plan B. He's a Plan A also. We've been working on this for a while." more ›

Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Knicks in a blockbuster deal. While sports columnists and fans can debate whether this deal was great or stupid for years to come, there's something else they can chew on: A new "Melo Sandwich" from the Carnegie Deli. more ›

So much for nyet: according to ESPN, the Nets have begun talking to the Denver Nuggets about disgruntled star Carmelo Anthony again. And according to one source, "New Jersey has come back strong. They really want Anthony." Last month, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov made a big show of cutting off negotiations between the two teams after several near-deals fell through. But could this all be a ruse to piss off and/or motivate the Knicks? more ›

Ever since the Nets bowed out of the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes and the Knicks became the frontrunners, nothing has gone right for the team, who has lost five of their last eight games. A possible deal fell through yesterday because the team allegedly felt that the Denver Nuggets asked for too much (Raymond Felton, Danillo Gallinari, another unnamed starter) for Anthony and aging guard Chauncey Billups. And there is even more confirmation that ever-smiling albatross Isiah Thomas is likely the one guiding the Knicks hand right now. more ›
