New York Knicks
The last time that the New York Knicks (21-10) faced the San Antonio Spurs (26-8) on Nov. 15, the Knicks rallied late in the fourth quarter to beat the Spurs on the road, 104-100, in one of their most impressive wins of the season.
Hard to believe that after such a smooth sailing start, the New York Knicks are starting to feel some waves rocking their once-steady boat.
Amar'e Stoudemire is back.
They have the stats. They have the moves. And they have one of the hottest, most exciting offenses in the NBA at their beck and call.
From the rise of Linsanity to the coronation of King James to the US Olympic Basketball team winning gold, it was quite a year in the NBA in 2012.
With the New York Knicks having dropped a few big games in the last week to the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers, the Knicks could probably use a boost.
Only a little more than seven weeks have gone by in the NBA 2012-13 season, but for Los Angeles Lakers fans, it is starting to feel a lot longer than that as the Lakers squad continues their struggles to get momentum going.
Heading into the regular season, the hype over the Battle for the Big Apple in NBA hoops was all the buzz in the five boroughs of New York.
In the Battle for the Big Apple, the season series between the New York Knicks (18-6) and the Brooklyn Nets (13-11) is split at one win apiece for each of these crosstown rivals, and their new rivalry will take a new turn when the Brooklyn franchise visits Madison Square Garden for the first time ever tonight.
Jeremy Lin's back in town, while Carmelo Anthony sits out for tonight's big game as the man who created "Linsanity" in the Big Apple last season returns to New York tonight when the Rockets take on the Eastern Conference leading New York Knicks.
Based on the fans' votes, Jeremy Lin could very well be starting for the West when the NBA All-Star Game comes to Houston this February.
There are high profile games...and then there's the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the New York Knicks.
The last time Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks (13-4) faced LeBron James and the Miami Heat (12-4), Anthony put on a clinic with a 30-point torching of the Heat's defense in an emotional 104-84 home win for New York on Nov. 2 to open the season.
Jeremy Lin has already taken his act to--and from--Broadway...and now it looks like Linsanity is coming to the Big Screen.
