    If by worst you mean #2 in the league in defensive rebounding rate then yes they are worse than 1 other team in the league in rebounding. Don't take what Charles Barkley says at face value. The Knicks can rebound, the narrative is that they can't so people stick to that. Also the narrative is that we are a great defensive team, we aren't, we are average.. We were much better last year. Narrative is that we improved our defense when we really didn't. Don't take what TNT guys or ESPN guys say at face value.

    When Tyson Chandler is starting for a team, that team is never among the worst in rebounding.

    Too bad Charles Barkley knows nothing and spreads false stuff all over TNT. He's one of the main people behind "The Knicks can't rebound" except for the fact they are a top rebounding team. Facts don't stand in the way of Charles.

    Deron Williams is out for this week I guess.

    Is ESPN broken or is Bulls/Celtics really 55-54 midway through the 4TH quarter?

    I wish I could remember seeing Jordan play. Lebron is at another level right now, it's incredible

    Guess I'm good luck for the Lkaers. After my last post, the lakers go on a 6-0 run.

    clippers leaving in Paul and Griffin, despite it being a 20 point game with 6 to go

    bad night for the NBA. Final games before the break and you wind up with two stinkers.

    NBA All star weekend is my favorite All Star festivities out of all the 4 professional sports. I even love the game because the first 3 and a half quarters are showing off, then if the game is tight, they all try to win.

    Wade broke Kobe's nose last year, and that was when LeBron turned down the game winning bucket after going crazy and draining 3s from ridiculously far out to make it competitive.

    I think Wade has established himself firmly in the 'dirty player' category.
