I'd say Nash deserved MVP. Phoenix was lost without him when he was out for 3-4 games.

An mvp should be feared... Jordan, shaq, duncan... Nash is not feared around the league... Heck, bibbys won almost every head to head playoff matchup with nash...

An MVP should not have to feared.

He should be the Most Valuble Player, hench the MVP acronym.

And Nash was the MVP, as without him the Suns were not a 60 win team...Without question.
 
"AS usual, Larry Brown took care of basketball business by adopting a coward's approach in delivering negative reviews and bad news on a player's doorstep. Instead of notifying Trevor Ariza directly he was demoted from the Knicks' rotation, Brown alerted the beat writers and let them do his dirty work for him. Traditionally, if there are good tidings to hark the herald angels sing (more regularly about opposing players than his own), the heralded coach will be out front and center." New York Post

"So how come so many coaches act as if it's beneath them to maintain an ongoing dialogue with their players? How come players are so often the last to know about where they stand with the coach? Is it really too much to ask of a coach to be upfront with his players?" New York Post

"Brown said he didn't owe Ariza an explanation for washing him out of the rotation. I agree. Still, does that mean it's forbidden to apply common courtesy? How many times have we heard Brown wax lovingly about his "kids" and how "special" they are?" New York Post

"Coach Larry Brown said any issues with Trevor Ariza were over, then promptly stoked the fire again. Responding to Ariza's statement that he was surprised by his recent benching, and unclear about the reasons, Brown said, "To say he doesn't know what's going on, he's delusional." New York Times

"Contradicting Ariza's account, Brown said he spoke to Ariza before dropping him from the rotation Monday. "It has nothing to do with basketball," Brown said. "I think he's just got to grow up a little bit and understand this is a team, and he's got to act like a good teammate." New York Times

"There is a good chance that Jerome James will return from his suspension before Friday's game against Washington. The team suspended James because he was unprepared for Sunday morning's practice." New York Times

"(Larry) Brown said that the rookie Nate Robinson would remain in the starting lineup even when (Quentin) Richardson returns. Richardson will be a reserve at shooting guard and small forward." New York Times

"According to (Larry) Brown, Qyntel Woods will survive the Jan. 10 deadline when his contract becomes guaranteed. Woods has beaten out Trevor Ariza as backup SF to David Lee. If Woods didn't pan out, the Knicks planned on cutting him and signing a player to a 10-day contract." New York Post

"The suspension's lit a fire under (Jerome) James. "He had a bad day and that's over with," Brown said. "He's had two great practices." New York Post

"Brown questioned the UCLA product's (Trevor Ariza's) attitude. "It has nothing to do with how he's playing," he said. "It has nothing to do with basketball. He's just got to grow up a little and understand it's a team and he's got to act like a good teammate. "Sometimes when they hear it from me, that's just coach," Brown said. "We got five other [coaches] that have visited with him privately. And he heard something pretty specific from me before the game. If he doesn't know, it's because UCLA wasn't a good academic institution." New York Post

"Brown's brutal honesty hasn't thrilled Isiah Thomas. When last week's Stephon Marbury war erupted, Isiah told Brown to ease up. But Brown, 65, will do what he wants, and was stunned he had to take a media-training class in preseason." New York Post

Woods over Ariza? Woods is a decent young swingman, but wow... Glad to see Woods has found a spot though. Also, intriguing about Nate staying in the starting line-up. More Nate is cool with me :).

Quite a turn around for Jerome James.

Brown is such an ***. Even when he wins he's an ***. But when he loses he just causes compelte mayhem.
 
Knicks are just 3 games out of 8th in the East behind Boston... didn't even realize that. I'm going to say they start playing better now.

I just realized how badly the east SUCKS. 10-21 and they're almost in 8th? What the heck. Are there actually teams WORSE than that?
 
Seattle Times - It's not official, but New York Knicks rookie Nate Robinson, the former Washington Husky, is expected to compete in the dunk contest in next month's All-Star Game in Houston. At 5-9, he would be the event's shortest competitor since Spud Webb won the title several years ago.

NICE! I was so hoping he'd enter it, the guy can fly.

I know it's not official, but unless an injury, he'll be in. :)
 
New York Post - Knick president Isiah Thomas is finding out that Quentin Richardson and his bad back are not in high demand.

The Knicks' offer of Richardson for point guard Earl Watson, the kind of young ball handler Larry Brown craves, has been rejected by the Nuggets.

A free agent signee over the summer, Watson became eligible for trade Dec. 29. The Nuggets are willing to trade Watson to balance their roster — they already have two point guards in Andre Miller and Earl Boykins.

A league executive familiar with the Nuggets thinking said Richardson is not the guy they want. The Knicks have yet to pony up center Jerome James. The Nuggets are entertaining offers from at least three teams.

The Knicks' trade for Richardson — they have up Kurt Thomas to get him — was held up last June because his contract was not insured for a career-ending back injury. Richardson has missed games this season because of back spasms, an indication the insurance adjusters knew what they were doing.

Richardson has four years left on his pact. "It's a red-flag," the league executive said of Richardson's contract.
