After draining a tre-bomb in the final moments of regulation to send today’s game into overtime, Melo sunk a game-wiing 3 against the Chicago Bulls with 9 seconds left in OT. Carmelo’s been on a bit of a hot streak lately and managed to put up 43 points vs. D. Rose & co.; a Knick season high. LaLa is sure to give up that good-good tonight.

According to the source, Grunwald has had just one conversation with Anthony since he became GM. And D’Antoni rarely talks to Anthony after games, especially since Anthony’s return from a groin injury. The Knicks have lost 8 of 10 games since then to fall to 18-24 and out of playoff position.
Anthony is not close to owner James Dolan the way Amar’e Stoudemire is. The source said Anthony gets along best with assistant GM Allan Houston, who eventually could succeed Grunwald.
“He knows Glen doesn’t like him,’’ the source said.
It would seem unlikely — and ill-advised — for the Knicks to pull off a trade for Anthony on such short notice before Thursday’s deadline.
Though Stoudemire lobbied for the Knicks to trade for Anthony, the pair’s friendship has not flourished.
“They’re not as close as people think they are,’’ the source said. “It’s an awkward relationship.’’

Steven A. Smith: Let’s get this out of the way right now.
The New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets both made deals this week that will shape the complexion of their respective franchises for years to come. The Knicks are officially Eastern Conference contenders because of Carmelo Anthony’s arrival. The Nets considerably upgraded with the acquisition of Deron Williams.
But for those who think New Jersey made a better deal than New York, here’s some advice: Go get tested!
Williams is an all-star. He’s incredibly gifted. Aside from Derrick Rose, he’s the best point guard in the game. Combine that with playing alongside a legitimate big man in Brook Lopez, and decent things are on the horizon for the Nets.
