With 6:02 left in the fourth quarter, as the Knicks were making a late spirited run (read: making the score respectable) against the Cavaliers, Toney Douglas was called for a foul while playing some tenacious defense against Delonte West.

After the whistle, West, who has plenty of issues on his mind right now, threw the ball at Douglas, was called for a technical foul and had some choice words for the Knicks rookie. Choice enough that Douglas wouldn't repeat them after the game.

"No comment," he said. "I'm not looking for any drama."

Whatever West did say, LeBron James felt compelled to go over to Douglas, who went to the bench after the foul.

"He just said to keep my head up," Douglas said. "That I'm all right."

James also made it a point to talk to another young Knick. After the game, he and Danilo Gallinari, who had 17 points and made 4 of 8 from three-point range, met on the court.

"He told me to keep working, keep doing my thing," Gallinari said, "and keep working on my back strength."

It's interesting that James would make note of Gallinari's back situation. Is it a clear sign that James is paying close attention to things here in New York?

"It's a good feeling that he respects me," Gallinari said. "That's already a good thing."

LeBron often has done this with young players. In fact, a few seasons ago he stopped Nate Robinson on the court after a game at the Garden and offered him similar encouragement.

Donnie Walsh before the game said he is expecting Eddy Curry back on the court "pretty soon now."

It seems most likely that Curry will be reincorporated during a four-day break between games following the Nov. 13 game against the Warriors. Walsh raved about what he saw when he evaluated Curry on Thursday. "When you see him, he's totally different," Walsh said.

How much weight has he lost? "A lot," he said.

It may sound as if Walsh is merely trying to promote nothing but positives about a player he'll likely try to trade to clear cap space, but a few other people I spoke with who have seen Curry say Walsh isn't embellishing.

We'll see.

Walsh also almost conceded that he and his staff made a mistake in passing on Brandon Jennings, the rookie PG who is off to a great start with the Milwaukee Bucks. "Going into the draft," Walsh said, "I did not have a feel for Brandon Jennings' game."

We'll get a feel for it Saturday when the Knicks face Jennings and the Bucks in Milwaukee.

Walsh explained that he went to Italy for the Eurobasket camp expecting to see Jennings, but Jennings did not participate in the camp. The Knicks had Jennings in for a predraft workout and, from what I heard at the time, he more than held his own against Tyreke Evans. But Walsh admitted that the lack of scouting information the team had on Jennings, the high schooler who skipped college for a pro year in Europe, was the issue.

"I had him in and he looked good," Walsh said. "But he looked yuong and had a lot ahead of him. But then when I went to Vegas and I saw him play, I thought, 'Wow, this guy could be very good.' I still am glad we took Jordan Hill, but I think Brandon Jennings is going to be a good player. And he's getting an opportunity to play, so it's a tough comparison now because Jordan is not."

Hill did finally get off the bench tonight against the Cavs. He played 4:46 and scored six points with two turnovers, all in the second quarter.

The Cavaliers defeated the Knicks 100-91 on Friday night in their only visit to Madison Square Garden of the season.

Of course, LeBron James and his pending free agency monopolized the headlines.

"It's this building," James said after the game. "This building's very special."

Fans cheered LeBron all night, with some holding up signs that counted down the days until he officially hits the free agent market.

The fact that the Knicks are playing like this in the second week of the season is alarming. One long-time NBA scout says the Knicks aren't running hard at either end of the court. And there is a growing sentiment that a lot of the players are looking to get their numbers at the expense of the rest of the team. The Knicks have seven players whose contracts expire on July 1. Most - if not all - will not be back because in order to sign a potential free agent such as LeBron James, the Knicks will have to renounce their free agents. Publicly, the players say they are committed to the season. But privately, they understand that they don't have a future in New York, therefore it is difficult for them to have an emotional investment in the present and future of the organization. That's the short-term risk the Knicks were willing to take for the long-term good of the franchise. However, for the Knicks to barely be competitive in their first seven games doesn't reflect well on both D'Antoni and team president Donnie Walsh. At the very least, the new regime was brought in to change the culture in the post-Isiah, post-Marbury era. That has yet to occur. Instead, expectations and accountability are at an all-time low. -- NY Daily News

The Knicks are in chaos as they take their 1-6 record into tonight's game vs. the Jazz to begin a four-game homestand. Duhon's role as starting point guard is under intense scrutiny again. With backup Nate Robinson still out with an ankle sprain, Duhon's starting job is safe until Robinson returns. D'Antoni yanked Duhon 2:32 into the third quarter Saturday for good. Duhon scored one point, committed three turnovers, and was 0 for 4 from the field. Duhon is shooting 25 percent, has played sloppy and looks like what everyone in the league figured he was in the summer of 2008 -- a good backup. "I thought he [was] struggling and took him out," D'Antoni said. "He's not the only guy, but he's struggling right now. Hopefully, we can get him out of it." -- NY Post

If nothing else, the losing will all but force Mike D'Antoni to play Eddy Curry, assuming Curry is available within the next couple of weeks. Curry would give the Knicks a much-needed post presence. Curry, however, won't give the Knicks much of a presence on the defensive end, which makes him no different than the rest of his teammates. -- NY Daily News

How is it useless we're discussing our prediction on a KNICK game to WIN MONEY.

On the other hand you're quoting LeBron James, a guy who is full phony bulls**t. He is a puppet he'll go where ever the higher power tells him (i hope not to the Knicks).
