Found November 09, 2012 on NY Sports Nut:
Word out of the Knicks camp is that Tyson Chandler is feeling 100% healthy and ready to take on his former team, the Dallas Mavericks. Last week Chandler suffered from strep throat, but has fully recovered.  Chandler also has shed the brace he had been wearing due to his sore knee. Chandler and the Knicks will take on the Mavericks tonight at 7pm, as they try to start out the season with four consecutive wins.  After the Spurs loss, they remain the only undefeated team in the NBA. Chandler will try to slow down the Mavs new addition, Chris Kaman.  Kaman is shooting an absurd 70% from the field, tallying 18 points per game so far. The Mavs have played well so far this year and the addition of OJ Mayo has been a success so far.  Defending Mayo and Kaman will be key to securing the fourth win of the season for the Knicks. Taking care of the defensive glass will also be a huge factor for the team.  The Knicks have done an amazing job defensively, but they cannot let good defense go for naught by allowing second chance points.

Knicks put a stop to controversial series of advertisements

The New York Knicks have put a stop to a series of advertisements that formerly appeared at bus stops and various places around New York City.

Video: Dirk Nowitzki sings ‘Born in the USA’

I don't think Dirk Nowitzki will be quitting his day job any time soon. The video is obviously meant to be funny, and I guess the fact that he doesn't appear to know what he's even singing does strengthen that assertion. Adding to that, he's German after all and not even "born in the USA."  And as far as I can tell, he's not even drunk in this video...

And they were clinging to just a one-point lead when their leader, Carmelo Anthony, took a rest due to foul trouble halfway through the third quarter. No matter. The Knicks continued their surprising start to the season by shutting...

Mavs look anything but hamstrung by injuries

At some point in the next few weeks, the Dallas Mavericks will welcome Dirk Nowitzki back to the lineup. But against all odds, they're doing just fine without him. In past seasons the Mavs have looked lost without their superstar. But with a surprising 4-1 start, they appear to be flourishing. And with each passing day, the degree of difficulty seems to rise.
