it's high time for the Knicks to align with a division they can win. Dead Team Walking, which begins a four-game home stand tonight against the Rockettes before embarking on a six-game roadie, is a lock to get the better of no one . . . except, of course, ticket holders.
They don't make the key shot or, at the very least, the key stop, once a franchise trademark. I don't want to suggest Lenny Wilkens may be on borrowed time, but Dick Helm is no longer taking his calls.
The Suns have lost five in a row while playing without their guide dog for essentially the last four and gone from putting up ABA-like numbers scoring 83, 80 and 79 in three of those four. Hosting the Spurs tonight they're hoping either Nash gets healthy in a hurry or San Antonio gets Stephon Marbury.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
