For the Knicks, injury news (bad) and an explanation for their collapse (good):

Of course it's not good news for a team when it learns that key players are injured.

@MHealeySports @tomwatson To be fair, a question did address his "decision" to not use all that Wilpon cash he turned down on OF.

@Knicknames MLS wants Queens. That has to falter before Belmont happens, it seems. Any reason you prefer Belmont location?

@Knicknames I have my doubts that it will be (at that location, anyhow), but it is spectacular.

@madisonroad ...to other leagues I cover, astonishing access. Bud Selig simpy doesn't hold events like that. David Stern either.

@madisonroad I have to say, as someone who got a chance to ask Q last night, asked what I wanted, got chances to follow up. Compared...

The Knicks are bringing their best player back with 9 minutes left in the fourth. Brook Lopez is confused.

  • imjasondiamondimjasondiamond: @howardmegdal @AmExperiencePBS I dunno. I'm excited either way. I always love a new American Experience. Always a good series.
  • imjasondiamondimjasondiamond: @howardmegdal @AmExperiencePBS I feel bad now. I'll up my PBS donation.
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork @powellnyt Problem too is that Nets are not a young team. Except for terrific Lopez, star core is aging.
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork Good piece. Alas an NBA game is 49 minutes long ...
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports Sure but second year in - given attendance (the real blowback) - regrets? Handled it poorly?
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports Respectful, absolutely. Totally agree. Still, in year three - too much deference.
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports I still sense an undeserved deference - if Minaya was on same call, same kind of 'distance'?
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork So what's deal w Deron? Cumulative toll of injuries, wrist, etc? Big body for a point guard? Or just bad yr?
