James addressed the media after the game. " It's great to be back from the All-Star Break and we went back to playing our kind of Basketball. We came back in a big and our guys are ready for a possible playoff run and we hope to bring home another World Championship to the City of Cleveland. We have the team to do it and we will see what happens."
The Knicks were reminded about their bad season. But Courtney Lee did have 25 points along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Carmelo Anthony woke up from his afternoon nap on Thursday as a member of the Knicks and had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists as he went 9-of-25 shooting for the game. Anthony was the talk of trade rumors because of his strained relationship with New York Knicks President Phil Jackson. But Anthony is still with the Knicks and told reporters " I am happy were I am at. I know the team is struggling right now. But the Trade talk is done and I don't have to worry about for the rest of the season"

Charles Oakley was in attendance on Thursday night. As his former team lost another game. But Oakley sat close to the Cleveland Bench as he sat right next to Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Oakley said afterwards " It's bad when you can't go to a game and cheer on your own team or sit next to the owner of the team you use to play for because you are critical of him. And as for the team they need to get rid of Phil Jackson as Head of Basketball operations now."
The Knicks are struggling and it's showing. Here's My Take, The Cavs are doing just about everything right. And as for the Knicks it's already in the wrong direction. The Knicks are 23-35 for the season so far and only 9-20 on the road. Carmelo Anthony may have made a mistake by staying in New York. I know that he's the Franchise play but he should have went somewhere else because not only are the Knicks Struggling badly Anthony has a strained relationship with Phil Jackson and Knicks Management. So what can the Knicks do, Not much for now but wait until the end of the year. Carmelo Anthony is with the Knicks for now. But wait until the end of the season when the trades come because I am going to make a prediction now and that is Carmelo Anthony will not be with the Knicks. Yes you heard it right Carmelo Anthony will not be with the Knicks.
And that My Friends is my BOLD PREDICTION.
