Iman Shumpert News

Was working on an offseason feature today when a random question popped into my head: If I had to pick between Celtics guard Avery Bradley and Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, whom would I choose? Both players are defensive stoppers.

Carmelo Anthony wants J.R. Smith back on the Knicks, but the Chris Paul pipe dream isn't a topic he'll discuss Carmelo Anthony was the last of a handful of Knicks players to speak with the media following their exit interviews on Tuesday.

To nail down a few facts: In the 2012-2013 NBA regular season, Amar'e Stoudemire played 29 of 82 games and started none of them.

The Knicks season -- their best in nearly 15 years -- is over. The Knicks lost 106-99 to the Indiana Pacers tonight, ending their season with a 4-2 series loss.

Roy Hibbert had 21 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks and Lance Stephenson added 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Pacers dominated the paint in a 106-99 win Saturday, eliminating Anthony's New York Knicks in a 4-2 secound-round series victory.

Anthony scored 28 points and New York avoided elimination in the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 85-75 victory over Indiana in Game 5. Reserves J.R. Smith and Chris Copeland each had 13 points for the Knicks, who trail 3-2 and will need a victory Saturday in Indiana to force a seventh game back here Monday.
