- Cliff Floyd has come back to New York and is playing baseball. He's just playing in Brooklyn and not Queens. The Mets right fielder is making a rehab start for the Cyclones tonight in Coney Island. Maybe the presence of a Major Leaguer will help the Cyclones win their 2nd game of the season. The Mets' single-A affiliate finally broke through last night in a 4-0 win against the Hudson Valley Renegades. Tickets are still available for the 7 p.m. game. more ›

After a 2-4 road trip through the West, the Knicks returned to Madison Square Garden to avenge one of the road swing's losses in a 103-92 win over Portland Sunday. Stephon Marbury had his best game of the season (27 points, 8 assists) and outshone Sebastien Telfair, the Trail Blazers point guard and Marbury's cousin. Although the Knicks earned their third victory, Gothamist still sees plenty of things to be worried about. more ›

The shooting was the story, as the team shot an amazing 59% for the game. The Knicks raced to a double digit lead at halftime, and despite a decent rally from the Blazers in the second half, the Knicks continued to hit shots and never trailed in the second half. Allan Houston led the team with 25 points, and Stephon Marbury continued to put up hot numbers with 20 points and 12 assists. The best number of all was the offensive balance, as seven Knicks finished in double figures. On the losing side, Zach Randolph led the Blazers with 27, while Coney Island legend (and Starbury cousin) Sebastian Telfair make his MSG debut with 2 points and 7 assists. more ›

Despite the lack of playing time, Telfair still has high hopes for the future, saying, "I don't accept nothing. I'm not getting comfortable with being on the bench." more ›

I’m not even talking about stye of play, tattoos and cornrows, the flood of high school kids in the league, etc. I’m talking about NBA starts demanding top dollar contracts and then asking to be traded when their team suffers because of it. Case in point, Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets. more ›

Rod Thorn threw in the towel last night and started discussing a sign and trade with the Nuggets that would ship Kenyon Martin out West. "You guys will find out soon. Something is going to happen soon," said Martin. more ›

Gothamist wonders why Mr. Washington is so bitter about Telfair going pro and his son staying home. The two players played each other in two games last season, with Telfair out playing Washington in both. In a nationally televised game between their two high schools, Telfair led Lincoln to a victory after injuring his ankle. During a basketball camp last summer, Telfair also played better than Washington. Strangely, Telfair and Washington Jr. are also close friends. more ›

The NY Post and ESPN are reporting that the New Jersey Nets have reached an agreement in principle with the Portland Trailblazers to send the 22nd pick in Thursday's NBA draft to Portland for backup PG Eddie Gill and $3 million.
