NBA Rumors – Los Angeles Lakers Not Trading Pau Gasol, For Now
The Los Angeles Lakers have been flipping around the idea of trading Pau Gasol for over two years.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony With Some Overtime Brilliance
The return of Tyson Chandler had quite the impact on the defense for the New York Knicks, but eventually their 107-101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks belongs mostly to Carmelo Anthony, who had an awful shooting night until the second overtime, where the team’s big star rectified all the damage done by J.R. Smith and Andre Bargnani.

NBA Rumors – Los Angeles Lakers Interested in Trade For Iman Shumpert
With plenty of injuries in their backcourt and age also being quite the issue, the Los Angeles Lakers might turn to Iman Shumpert, a player the New York Knicks have been trying to get rid of for quite some time.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony And The Newly Found Effort
One of the things that’s quite easily noticed about the New York Knicks this season is their tendency to simply quit on basketball games early on, or go numb during fourth quarters. For once, they played the whole game through, with Carmelo Anthony putting on what might be his best performance this season, leading to a 111-106 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Boston Celtics – Winning The Division With a Losing Record
This wasn’t a very memorable offensive performance from Jeff Green, but he was there when the Boston Celtics needed him, scoring a tough, slightly lucky shot to grant them a 90-86 win over the New York Knicks, who couldn’t get to avenge their humiliating loss only a week earlier to the same team.

Bulls vs Knicks – A Battle Of The Bad & Injured
As it turns out, it’s better to be on the bad side. At least you have players of obscure talents to rise to the occasion from time to time, like the New York Knicks have in Amare Stoudemire giving Carmelo Anthony a hand, instead of being crippled by injuries to your three starting perimeter players, as the Chicago Bulls continue to sink and look awful in the process.

Knicks vs Cavs – It’s Getting Worse
The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t a very good team so far this season; Kyrie Irving has been called into question, with some even saying he’s grossly overrated. But then the New York Knicks, with their depressed looks and no effort on defense, and suddenly everything is OK. Irving plays like a superstar, while the one on the other side, Carmelo Anthony, is quite close to giving up.
-
Celtics vs Knicks – Impossible to Comprehend
Even hours after the game was over, the final scoreline and the meaning of it were quite difficult to acknowledge. The Boston Celtics, a decent team with a new head coach and pretty bad roster, beat the New York Knicks, a team with a superstar and not much else, 114-73, at the Madison Square Garden. It still doesn’t sound right.

New York Knicks – Finally With Something to Smile About
Two consecutive wins deserves opening champagne bottles for the New York Knicks, but no one should be fooled: The most recent 38-point win over the Orlando Magic, and the good form shown by Carmelo Anthony, Andrea Bargnani and even J.R. Smith does nothing to suggest that the early season crisis is over.

New York Knicks – Andrea Bargnani Makes Kevin Garnett Look Old
There’s a lot of bad blood between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets. Both being two of the worst teams in the NBA didn’t really help make things any less chippier when the two sinkings ships collided. The end result? A 113-83 win for the Knicks, Andrea Bargnani ejected after making fun of Kevin Garnett and a lot of smiles on the faces of people like Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, snapping a nine-game losing streak.
