"What a perfect time for the Nuggets to come to town, with Melo and Co. imploding, Jim Dolan's reckless basketball decisions laid out in public for one and all to see and George Karl's team doing what the Knicks wish they were doing:

Playing team basketball and winning.

Not that it's going to last into the spring, because we all know what happens when star-less teams enter the postseason. Unless you're the Detroit Pistons of 2004, without an acknowledged star, your stay in the playoffs will be brief.

But it's working now, working beautifully for Karl, as things continue to go terribly wrong for Mike D'Antoni and his dysfunctional team, now with six straight losses after their 119-114 double-overtime defeat."
