Wizards’ Roger Mason Jr. ready for reunion with New York

Found January 06, 2012 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: Roger Mason,  Amare Stoudemire
TEAMS: Washington Wizards,  New York Knicks

Spurs_vs_wizards_4de9
Believing that he would have the opportunity to compete for a starting job and help spread the floor for all-star big man Amare Stoudemire, Roger Mason Jr. took about $300,000 less — not big money by NBA standards, but enough to affect a player of his stature — to sign with New York last season. But his experience with the Knicks fell well short of his expectations and left him with “a bad taste in my mouth.” Read full article >>

John Wall Calls Out Teammates for Selfishness, Says Season Could Get Ugly

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  January 05, 2012
We may not know exactly what the 2011-2012 season has in store for the Washington Wizards, but we certainly know they aren’t going to be patient. Washington has lost its first six games of the season. They have done very little right to this point, and haven’t really come close to beating anyone. Even John Wall is averaging just under 14 points per game, which is second on the...

Wizards’ Trevor Booker, Chris Singleton provide boost in close loss

Via Washington Post  |  January 07, 2012
On a night when their most experienced player looked lost and confused, the Wizards nearly rode the infectious energy of two of their least experienced players to the first win of the season. Trevor Booker and Chris Singleton were drafted in the past two Junes to provide hustle and defense for a team deficient in those areas, and they both made a case for more playing time in the...

Wizards hold team meeting, Andray Blatche talks accountability

Via Ball Don't Lie  |  January 06, 2012
Last week, Wizards big man Andray Blatche grabbed headlines for calling out his coaches and teammates on Twitter for not getting him the ball in the paint. It was a questionable move for a guy whom the franchise hopes can become a team leader. However, if you wanted to take a more optimistic look at the situation, then Blatche was simply holding the Wizards accountable for their...

Wizards' Evans calls players-only meeting

Via Washington Times  |  January 06, 2012
Maurice Evans had seen enough. Evans hasn't played a game yet for the Wizards this season, due to a sore right knee. But perhaps being able to see every game from the bench gave Evans the perfect vantage point to what was happening on the court. After watching the team ...

D'Antoni: Shumpert may start Friday

The New York Knicks are reportedly ready to shake up their starting lineup.Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni says rookie guard Iman Shumpert may be inserted into the starting five as early as Friday night against the host Washington Wizards.D'Antoni wouldn't confirm an immediate change, but said Shumpert would be eligible to start at either guard position in place of Landry...

Carmelo Anthony on the Knicks: ‘It Can’t Get No Worse Than This’

Via SLAM Online  |  January 05, 2012
by Marcel Mutoni / @marcel_mutoni Things were supposed to be different this time around for the New York Knickerbockers. Ownership twisted Mike D’Antoni’s arm into hiring a defensively-minded assistant coach in Mike Woodson, the team splurged on defensive specialist center Tyson Chandler, Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire promised to defend with more tenacity...

Report: Knicks Willing to Trade Amar’e Stoudemire To Rent Dwight Howard

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  January 06, 2012
I believe the Knicks have come to the conclusion that most of us saw from the beginning, that Amare and Carmelo don’t mesh well together. Specifically Amar’e seems lost when Carmelo is on the floor. Melo is a dominant scorer and needs ball in his hands. Since he is a perimeter player he can do that, but Amar’e needs someone to feed him the ball, since he doesn&...

Knicks Lose To Bobcats in Embarrassing Fashion

Via Knicks Journal  |  January 05, 2012
Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert both returned from injuries to play for the Knicks last night.Unfortunately, neither one's presence and/or offensive firepower was enough to propel their team to victory as the Knicks suffered a 118-110 loss at the hand of the Bobcats.The Bobcats, who in fact improved to 2-4 as the Knicks fell to that same record, really appeared to have...

Carmelo Anthony thinks Wizards could eventually become a destination team

Via Washington Post  |  January 06, 2012
When Carmelo Anthony realized he was ready to leave Denver, he had several teams on his list — the Washington Wizards were never a consideration — but only one team in his heart: Anthony was going to be a New York Knick. The Nuggets tried several times to send him to New Jersey, but Anthony eventually forced them to trade him to a team that had made only one playoff appearance...

Wizards take solace in better effort, but lose close contest to Knicks

Via Washington Times  |  January 06, 2012
With 24.3 seconds left in Friday night's game, the Washington Wizards led the New York Knicks by one point. John Wall had just scored on a fast break to put the Wizards ahead, and the Verizon Center crowd was on its feet, feeling a victory. It would have been the Wizards' ...

Knicks fans may get wish — Shumpert may start Friday

Via Pro Basketball Talk  |  January 05, 2012
“We want Shum-pert.” The chant rained down on Madison Square Garden Wednesday night as Knicks fans are frustrated with their point guard play. Toney Douglas is the starter but he is a score-first guy who does not fit with Mike D’Antoni’s system. Landry Fields is at the two but he has struggled this season and…
