Mike D’Antoni was a great offensive mind? I never saw what everyone else was looking at. His reluctant attitude towards adjusting is system and adding talent to help the team was mind boggling. His stubbornness in working with his General Managers Steve Kerr and now Glen Grunwald in Phoenix and New York showed me his poor communication skills. Marc Berman’s report on the Pablo Prigioni story was just another red flag that made me feel that I was right.

The Knicks and Nets had their final showdown today for the season. A sluggish slow paced game early on turned out to be a nail biter for all the viewers and the Garden crowd. With the Nets handling the Knicks most of the game with a 4-10 point lead at any time, NY fought back to take the lead, but could not hold off Joe Johnson and the Brooklyn Nets who...

For 35 years, the all-time series between the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets were lackluster at best.

Smith to give the Nets an 85-84 lead with 22.3...
