The Knicks can’t seem to get out of their own way so far this preseason, and injuries certainly don’t help. Amar’e Stoudemire is out 2-3 weeks with a ruptured cyst in his knee and now Tyson Chandler, the anchor of their defense, is out too. Chandler went down in last night’s preseason tilt vs. the [...]

The NBA schedule makers did the right things by placing the Knicks in Brooklyn to take on the Nets for each team’s season opener. New York is buzzing right now, and this game is why. But if you want to be at the game and sit courtside, be prepared to spend a pretty penny. Tickets [...]

Championships are won inside-out. Typically, anyway. If you have LeBron James and Dwyane Wade roaming the perimeter, I guess that rule doesn’t apply. But if you ask Wade, he still feels as if the Heat are vulnerable down low. “Yeah, we have weaknesses,” said Wade, whose Heat went 46-20 during the 2011-12 lockout-shortened campaign, an [...]

Dwight Howard made his Lakers debut last night, albeit in preseason action. Dwight finished with a double-double and looked right at home. He picked up right where he left off. His first bucket as a Laker? An alley-oop of course: [...]

Not that most fans are counting exhibition game wins in the preseason, but it could be noted that the Lakers are still winless. Dwight Howard’s return could give the likes of Pau and Kobe a bit of an energy boost, having a chance to finally play with the big man. Howard has been ruled out [...]

Just because the Celtics lost Ray Allen to free agency, don’t throw them a pity party just yet. They’ve reloaded their complementary pieces and should give Miami all they can handle when the two inevitably meet in the Conference Finals. And consequently, they’ve gotten younger too. The Celtics decided on Tuesday to let Dionte Christmas [...]
