What Happened:
The Knicks suffered their longest losing streak of the season, losing consecutive games to the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, and Chicago Bulls. New York closed out the week with a Sunday afternoon win over the New Orleans Hornets.
Melo Madness:
The Knicks had a date with the Celtics to begin the week, and despite a thrilling win for Boston, nobody was talking about the actual game when it concluded.
Carmelo Anthony, who had been jawing back and forth with Kevin Garnett during the game, stole the headlines by first attempting to enter the Celtics locker room to confront Garnett, before proceeding to wait for K.G. by the Celtics team bus.
Melo said he simply wanted to talk things out with the Celtics superstar, but the league suspended him one game for his actions.
It proved costly, as the Knicks desperately missed Anthony while scoring just 74 points in a loss to the Pacers.
Back on the Right Track:
After losing three straight games, Carmelo called Sunday’s meeting w...

Kevin Garnett is on the precipice on joining a very exclusive club. A club so exclusive in fact, that when he joins it, he will be it's only member.
With 32 more assists, Garnett will pass Sleepy Floyd for 50th on the NBA's all-time assist leader board (5,144). This is important, because Garnett already ranks in the top 50 in rebounds (12th - 13,566), points (17th - 24...

This is weird. And I know if I were a Knicks fan or part of the organization, I’d be pissed. Apparently Carmelo Anthony has been fasting the last 15 days or so. Dude wasn’t eating complete meals. Isn’t he a paid athlete, where conditioning and body preservation are part of his job. Talk about silly and irresponsible.

The anticipated return of Iman Shumpert is almost here and it could not have come at a better time for the New York Knicks.

Part of this is due to injuries, but another part is due to lack...
