In New York, he’s anything but.

This will be Carmelo Anthony’s eighth time starting overall and ninth time as an All-Star. Kristaps Porzingis (NY) 473,579 7. But neither of them are Derrick Favors right now. 500 record as the All-Star break approaches. With the continued emergence of Porzingis and the addition of, say, a Mike Conley this off-season, Anthony and the Knicks may have a few more surprises up their sleeves for those who choose to overlook these New York Knickerbockers. Utah’s Rodney Hood misfired from beyond the arc. Utah allowed the Knicks to score 62 points in the second half and then allowed NY to put up a quick 19 in five minutes of overtime. He finished with a studly stat line of 30 points on 13-20 shooting, seven rebounds, and nine assists, flirting with a triple-double as he has several times this season.
As a result, the Utah Jazz find themselves in somewhat of a desperate situation as their four-game road trip hits Brooklyn.
Instead, Anthony has molded his game into the exact type of player fans always hoped to see.
“I knew it was going to go one way or the other and we needed to make a play at that point”, Williams said. “But, for example, if he ever was to get hurt, or if he’s out of the game for any reason, I don’t have any issues with stepping into that role”.
Hey Phil, since you were spot on about this quote two years later, do you have a quote on New York’s championship hopes in 2018? He even loves that Mike Breen, who calls national games on ABC and ESPN, is the lead play-by-play guy for the team’s games on MSG.
The New York Knicks come into this game at 13-8 at home surprassing their total wins at home last season by 3.
Williams and guard Langston Galloway made free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the victory.
“That’s an unbelievable achievement for him”, Porzingis said. If not for him the Jazz would have probably pulled this one out.
Cleveland’s LeBron James and Indiana’s Paul George will start in the East frontcourt with Anthony, who held off Chicago’s Pau Gasol by 360 votes. Afflalo claims to be the exception. I get that Robin Lopez is a hustle master, he had 6 offensive rebounds and really helped the Knicks claw back into this game. Two games, three OT periods. Nobody died or anything, unless you count the teenager in me.

MVP Stephen Curry of Golden State was next with 1.6 million and they will be joined in the Western Conference lineup by Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and Leonard, who was more than 12,000 votes behind Golden State’s Draymond Green for the last frontcourt spot after the most recent returns.
