    Where are the New York Knicks that led the Eastern Conference and were talking about nothing less than a conference final?

    Talks of rivalry don’t really mean anything when the Nets keeps sliding while the Knicks, getting Carmelo Anthony back from a two game absence, had no problem beating their across-the-bridge rivals for a second time in a row while establishing a six game lead in the Atlantic Division, mostly thanks to Anthony who can’t be stopped when facing the Brooklyn rivals.

    New York Knicks – Defense no Longer a Dirty Word

    While most of the New York Knicks starting the season with a 5-0 record (for the first time in 19 years) is attributed to Carmelo Anthony playing responsibly and unselfishly, a lot of it has to do with the way the team has been playing defense through the first five games, something which hasn’t been exactly a point of pride in recent seasons.

    New York Knicks – Right now do not Have a Weakness

    A small sampling pool of only three games doesn’t mean much, but the New York Knicks are impressive. They’ve scored at least 100 points in all three wins. They’ve won by at least 16 points three times, and they haven’t let anyone score more than 88 points on them. Not just Carmelo Anthony deserves praises. Everyone deserves it.
