Shumpert takes anger out on Orlando
NEW YORK -- Iman Shumpert is angry "at the world." And that seems like a good thing for the Knicks. Shortly after telling MSG Network's Tina Cervasio that he was "pissed off ... at the world," Shumpert took the court and scored 10 points in 25 minutes in the Knicks' 38-point win over Orlando. Those numbers aren't eye-popping, but one of Shumpert's field goals certainly was. In the third quarter, Shumpert drove the lane and finished with a thunderous right-handed dunk in between two Magic defenders to give the Knicks a 16-point lead.

Starting Five: Did Nets make big mistake?
In theory, it all made sense. The Brooklyn Nets were trying to infiltrate the New York market, where anyone who’s anyone likes the New York Knicks. They figured, with a billionaire owner and a $1 billion arena, they could make several splashes, acquire star talent and compete immediately. Maybe they wouldn’t win a championship. Maybe they would. Either way, they were going to be in the conversation. They were trying to build a fan base and generate revenue.

For Anthony, it's me, myself and Melo
NEW YORK -- In the middle of a letdown start to the season with a guaranteed dose of uncertainty to follow, there is one thing the New York Knicks can count on. Carmelo Anthony is going to do what is best for Carmelo Anthony. Not the team he's on, not the team he's planning to be on, but himself. He isn't the first player (and won't be the last) to look out for No. 1, but it's a clear principle to constantly keep in mind when examining Anthony's future.

Opening Tip: Knicks turn back the clock
There was a common theme coming out of the Knicks' locker room after Thursday's win over the Nets. Many Knicks -- coach Mike Woodson included -- said the team's play reminded them of the 2012-13 team that won 54 games and a first-round playoff series. "It looked like the Knicks of old," Woodson said. Even Nets coach, and former Knick, Jason Kidd agreed. "Tonight they looked a lot like they did last year," Kidd said. Last season the Knicks raced out to an 18-6 start on the strength of ball movement, solid 3-point shooting and a low turnover rate.

Angry Andrea fuels Knicks
The Knicks and Nets entered play Thursday with terrible records. So no one looked at the year's first Knicks-Nets game as some passionate game between rivals. But it seemed to light a fire under Andrea Bargnani. Bargnani scored 16 points on 7-for-13 shooting. He also had three blocks. But all anyone wanted to talk to Bargnani about was his fourth-quarter run-in with noted bully Kevin Garnett. Bargnani got tangled up with Garnett as a rebound came off the rim early in the fourth quarter.

Shumpert slips slump in Brooklyn
Maybe the Knicks should rethink their plans to trade Iman Shumpert. The third-year guard played his best game of the season when New York seemed to need it most, finishing with 17 points, six rebounds and two steals in a 113-83 win over Brooklyn. Shumpert was incredibly efficient, hitting 5-of-7 shots from beyond the arc. "He looked like he had a chip on his shoulder," Carmelo Anthony said. "I think everybody looked like they had that feeling like we were tired of losing.
