Mike Woodson had his first win since Nov. 13, a ridiculously easy 113-83 rout of the Nets, and now he was headed out to the team bus at the Barclays Center.

Kevin Garnett has engaged in more than his share of trash talk over the years with the Knicks.

James Dolan was lurking around the hallways of the Knicks’ training facility in Greenburgh, the same place where just two months ago he informed Mike Woodson that he expects an NBA title this season. In the history of unrealistic expectations, that one is an all-timer.

Carmelo Anthony called the Knicks the "laughingstock" of the NBA on the eve of their crosstown meeting with the equally putrid Brooklyn Nets.
