Knicks Set To Take On Garnett-Less Celtics In Boston

Tuesday’s game could be a preview of a potential first-round series in the Eastern Conference playoffs. New York (42-26) currently occupies the third spot while Boston (36-33) is 6 1/2 games behind, but has lost four games in a row.

Silverman: Rangers, Bruins Are Keeping The New York-Boston Rivalry Alive And Well

Did Knicks Owner James Dolan Spy On Carmelo Anthony?

MSG employees were instructed to record every word that came out of Anthony’s mouth — both while on the court and on the bench — according to Dave D’Alessandro. Once the game was over, the audio was delivered to the CEO’s desk.

Schmeelk: Knicks Are Switching Themselves Into Oblivion

The Knicks’ defense has been getting worse by the week, and Mike Woodson isn’t helping things. If the switching continues, the Knicks will find themselves giving up 100 points or more in many games the rest of the season.

Schmeelk: Knicks, Carmelo Fail Big Test Against Celtics

Garnett baited Anthony like no one else in the league can, and Melo responded by biting down on the hook like an untested rookie who forgot he was playing in the NBA and not on some playground in Baltimore.

Overtime For Anthony-Garnett Feud: Melo Stalks Celtics’ Bus After Loss

Anthony didn’t just lose Monday’s heated game against Boston. He lost his cool, and the league could penalize the Knicks’ leading scorer for his postgame antics.

Silverman: The Nets’ Victory Over The Celtics Was Nice, But It Proved Nothing

While a win over the Celtics in mid-November is nice, it’s not the same thing as beating that team in green in April. Thursday night’s game was a good win for the Nets, and it should fuel their confidence and desire. However, it proved nothing.

Schmeelk: Heat Outplayed And Out-Coached

As NBA teams become more familiar with each other over a course of a series, adjustments must be made. The Heat have not done that.

Silverman: Doc’s Celtics Evoke Memories Of Red’s Knicks

Team basketball: it’s a lesson the old Knicks knew well. It’s a lesson you hope Mike Woodson and his charges are taking note of and will put into play next year.

Schmeelk: Coaching Vs. Individual Flash; Which Teams Deserve NBA Finals Nod?
