"The Knicks have been underwhelming and underachieving, and there have been reports coach Mike D'Antoni could be fired as soon as tomorrow if his team lost last night to Chicago and tonight in Boston.

If so, he's halfway there after a 105-102 defeat to the Bulls at the Garden in which the Knicks' comeback against Derrick Rose and his teammates fell short just like late 3-point attempts by Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.

In truth, the Knicks, who have lost 10 of their last 12 games, have showed signs of turning the corner: Anthony got back on the court, Stoudemire got back in a groove and they nearly rallied for the victory. But they were undone at the start by their own second-quarter turnovers, and in the end by Rose."
