Schmeelk: The Key For The Knicks On Thursday Night? Stop Rajon Rondo!

Whatever they do, the Knicks’ success will be determined by how they control Rondo. In many ways, their success this season will be determined by how they control the opponent’s quick guards off the dribble.

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.
