Does it even matter? Not like they'll make it out of the first round...

They sure won't if they start running their offense through Lin instead of Melo when he comes back...

Lin is out until at least the second round of the playoffs, and these Knicks aren’t beating any of the top 3 in a 7-game series.



Clippers and Timberwolves tonight.
It seems that the Blake Griffin/Kevin Love angle is becoming one of the league’s next “rivalries,” but tonight will not be a renewal of it. Love is sitting out.

"SONICSGATE: REQUIEM FOR A TEAM" WILL PREMIERE ON FRIDAY, APRIL 27TH ON CNBC
Come home Sonics!

[BOROSUN]

Lol, hard to imagine that even humphries gets booed at MSG. He will never survive.

I doubt Lin will even play. Knicks should be okay if they play top defense. Hopefully jj and amare are back feeling healthier.

So this Miami/Chicago game really matter? Figured everybody else seems to be resting their players to get ready for the playoff...

Implications for home court advantage in the playoffs

Watson needs to join Flop City.

Launching himself with a jump both feet off the ground for the mid air spin off the arm.

Chris Paul esque...

Marc Stein ‏ @ESPNSteinLine
RT @MagicInsider: Dwight Howard (back) expected to be out 14-16 days. Playoffs could start for Magic on April 29-30. Race is on

I guess it's not as bad as I had thought, when I first heard that his back was tweaked...

Thought Seattle wants to make a new franchise, not relocate a new one.

[FRpilot]

i'm sure seattle would be happy with any franchise they can get, but they have the rights to the sonics name and probably want to bring that back with so much history behind it. not sure if the nba would let them move the kings in and kill that name.

last i heard, the maloofs were interested in moving the kings to las vegas, anaheim, and possibly san jose.

The league is not taking on any more franchises, lest the lockout would have been total bullshit. Relocating one that isn't making it in their home market to one that was robbed of a team that WAS, and is champing for a team, seems smarter to me. In my opinion, Sacramento, New Orleans and Toronto were my picks, and moving Toronto would require redoing the divisions. The Saints' owner just agreed to buy the Hornets, so that leaves Sacramento.

[theronin]

I hope the Kings move to Seattle. Then i won't have to hear them cheer everytime their team stumbles into mediocrity.

knicks heat at the garden


this is going to be interesting

[tricky_ab]

Yeah I'm planning to watch that game...Will the Heat play actual ball? Or will they continue to be lethargic?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Knicks loss, just shows Anthony cant get it done by himself. Needs somebody to distribute the ball and get others involved in the game.

Also, WTF, Wade slams the ball and doesnt get a T? Shit, I've seen people get T'd for less than that.

[SimpleS14]

Nick Van Gundy sure doesn't like flopping lol

Anyone else think Melo pushes off with his left arm too much?

He does this WAYYYY too much...

[word sux]

what a game! till the knick offense shut down late in the game and by shut down I mean mello got tired because he was carrying the whole team on his shoulders..

like it was already pointed out, knicks have no one to distribute the ball... mello can only win them so many games and against a team like the heat one player can't win the game. But stoud should be back some time this week, so i hope he can give the knicks another boost in scoring.

yea I had a good chuckle at van gundy's rant on flopping

Lakers pass is to Bynum when he's doubled BEFORE the pass.

what the fuck...

9/14 from 3 before that Dirk airball...

I don't remember ever seeing a team get torched for an entire month from 3 like this. Don't miss contested ones, don't miss open ones. They are like layups.

Ron missed McBobs for a lob then blew the layup. Pau needs to get on the block vs Mahimini. Camping out too much. They need him to get aggressive.

Still pretty impressive how they got 43 pts off Bynum/Gasol and another 22 from Session...5 players with double digits and the Lakers only played 8 players.

Did anyone catch the Heat vs Nets game? I have never seen an opposing team's fanbase cheer so hard for the Heat. Lebron went crazy and scored 17 in a row to close out the game and in the last minute of the game everyone in the Nets arena was not only cheering everytime LBJ scored but they were chanting "LETS GO HEAT"... I have seen alot in my 23 years of being an NBA fan but I've never seen an opposing home team's fanbase cheer so hard for a more hated team.
