Posting and Toasting — That is somebody that I respect a lot. His work ethic is phenomenal. He is somebody who the last few weeks I have really watched and learned to appreciate because he might have had a bit of a rough beginning in terms of playing time as a rookie, but you can see he really stepped in and produced when the team needed him.

I am very, very, very ready to watch some basketball.

Here are some observations on Mozgov, who came right off the bench to make his first three shots and ended up scoring 13 points on 6 of 9 shooting: Strengths: Ov...

- Staal contract could come soon Knicks Blog | ESPN New York Defenseman Marc Staal and the Rangers may have closed the gap on a potential contract and could soon have a deal. Though GM Glen Sather earlier labeled the distance between the two sides a “chasm,” the Bergen Record’s Andrew Gross writes that two NHL sources now say progress has been made in contract talks with the restricted free agent and a deal could come as early as Thursday. According to the report, money is the biggest sticking point. Gross says the Staal camp is seeking about $4.5 million per season.
