This is completely unrelated to the game but something that's been bugging me for a while.....Who the hell is andre miller's barber!? Shit is terrible. C'mon brotha, that cut is completely unacceptable even by hood standards.

Knicks coach Mike Woodson says Carmelo Anthony needs to be in better shape - NBA News | FOX Sports on MSN

Mike Woodson just stamped his exit papers, probably as soon as Monday after the Knicks are swept tomorrow.

Wow well one thing is for sure Woody isn't afraid of that overpaid BET reality show diva hopeful. He put him on blast... Too bad the front office is going to kiss Melala's ass.

At times I did wonder why Melo wasn't as cut or fit compared to other players. So I'm guessing Woodson is not coming back.

Anyone want to see Phil Jackson take the job?

Speaking of rumors, did anyone hear about Ray Allen possibly going to the Heat?

… then Cuban blew up the roster (or let it fall it apart), making no attempts to re-sign many key pieces. Dallas fans should be PISSED with him right now

Hello, I'm in for my "I'm not really THAT interested in NBA this season" comment.


When they won it last year, some of the first words out of my mouth were, "Thank god they won it all, if it now, I don't think it'd happen anytime soon".

Taking a step back and looking at OKC and Dallas, they're on totally different ends of the age spectrum. I'm pulling for those OKC guys now (blasphemy!).

They've been on the come-up for a few years now, it'd be nice to see the drive deep into the playoffs, if not winning the whole West.

My broom is ready.

Ray Allen did comment about that last season. He said he would like to play in either Miami or Chicago. I would love to have him here but I think Chicago will get him. Chicago can give him a starting spot while he would have to come off the bench in Miami unless D-Wade or Lebron switch to PG which would be beyond awesome.

As far as Phil Jackson goes... Zero chance. The problem is Phil only likes front running teams. He would either go to Chicago, Miami (if Pat weren't here), OKC, Clippers. NY has a horrible nucleus and they have no cap space to improve it. I just don't see Phil setting himself up to fail, no matter what the NY media and fans want to trick themselves into believing much like they did with Lebron, Bosh, Joe Johnson, CP3 etc.

[BarrigaS14]

Will NY avoid the sweep?

Well, looks like there is no sweep. And it looks like NY is going crazy for winning...a game. LOL. Losers.

[aziankingz]

Put your broom away guys!

This was a fun game to watch, it went to down to the wire just like in the old days. Closing the Knicks out on Wenesday and then on to the next one. Omfg Baron Davis' knee just gave out, holyshit...l

[SimpleS14]

Alicia Keys = MILF of the year

ANYWAYS....

Heat can not continue to play this sloppy in the playoffs. I'm surprise they didn't make a statement and just shut down the Knicks. As for the Knicks, I still think their win was out of luck.

[word sux]

thank zombie jeebus the knicks didn't lose

man davis's knee looked nasty.. its within the realm of possibility that lin could play wednesday or so they have said.

on to game 5!

[aziankingz]

Its weird that once Davis dislocated his knee and taken off the court, Melo started to heat up. But yeah, that looked horrible - you can see his bone sticking out.

The game was pretty sloppy again on both ends.. Wade had a horrible game, and thankfully for the knicks he took the last shot and missed.

Game 5 - GO NY GO NY GO!

I agree, soon after Davis went down it felt like momentum was on the Knicks side. I don't know if the Heat let off the gas or if the Knicks got inspired or a little of both but it really felt like it was NY's game to lose. I'm still scratching my head on the last play, Lebron os on fire and Spo calls a play for ice cold D-Wade.who ends up taking a 3 when they needed only 2 points to go into OT. The guys on NBA TV are claiming that the Heat wanted to extend the series which is pretty stupid if its true.

[aziankingz]

I would want to extend the series too - it would be 2-2 if it weren't for knicks blowing last game. Miami and Knicks are huge rivalries and also huge money generators, plus Lin may be back and that itself is a huge money generator.

[Riq]

You're right financially it's smart but the Heat also risk an injury that would be sure to hurt them for the next round. If they can't make it to the finals because of hurt players the franchise will lose out on money.

[Phlip]

Heat got lazy and blew a game, like they did last year in the finals.

This shows that the Knicks are not SPINELESS, just dysfunctional.
I'll eat my crow for now, but only until Wednesday's 25pt blowout

[fliprayzin240sx]

I was eating sushi when I saw the score roll thru...needless to say, I almost choked on and cried a lil because of the wasabi. How the heck did NY win?

I totally agree, they were on cruise control for most of the game and STILL almost won... Game 5 is going to be ugly for the Knicks.

I'm glad the Knicks can break that playoff losing streak...to start another one...

[BOROSUN]

who else needs to eat crow?

wasn't it, a so called knicks fan?



RIP davis you will be missed.

[Gnnr]

So they live to die another day.

[word sux]

we shall see wednesday

stoud came back and had a great game even while playing with 1 hand

go knicks!

Report: Kidd not retiring, expects to sign early

He apparently wants to leave when he dies

[FRpilot]

last i heard kidd wanted one more big payday (by big, he was looking for full mid-level exception money) or he would to retire before playing for peanuts. maybe he'll change of heart and sign for $1-2M if he really wants to play as a backup.

He should sign with the Heat

[Phlip]

I was thinking…
Lamar Odom is persona non grata in Dallas now, and quite possibly has burned his bridge with the Lakers (while this is debatable). The Knicks are a perpetually dysfunctional organization in need of all of the help they can get, and he can probably be had for MUCH below what his prior market value might have been. Perhaps they could bring HIM into the fold – being that he is from the area – and they can pretend everything is wonderful while they remain a bad team pretending to be good. Then he and his mannish wife can make money hand over fist while effectively working for an international media conglomerate. Who needs a reality show when they the Anthony family can have their own reality NETWORK, the first of it's kind, 24 hour MeLala/LamarDashian, it's a win-win!

It is the least they could do since the sportswriters snubbed him for Defensive Player of the Year.
