Mike D'Antoni kept Chris Duhon on the bench for the entire second half of the Knicks' home game versus the Wizards Wednesday night. Nate Robinson…

Since the season started we have been saying that Ethan Werek (2009 2nd) was the best pick that the Rangers made in the 2009 NHL Draft. Nothing against anyone else who the Ranger's picked but Werek is a cut above the rest. How the Rangers were able to grab him in the second round at 47 is a nice miracle as this was a player who could have been a first round pick

The Knicks got their oomph from David Lee, who had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and their pizazz from Nate Robinson, who added 23 points off the bench.

NEW YORK(AP) Nate Robinson scored 23 points, Al Harrington and Larry Hughes also put in double figures off the bench, and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 107-85 on Wednesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Editor's note: In an effort to salvage a disappointing season, the New York Rangers traded Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins to the Calgary Flames for Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust.

ick McGuire, a basketball Hall of Famer and longtime member of the Knicks organization, died Wednesday of natural causes. He was 84.

Since I spend most of my time covering the New York Ranger prospects then it is only when the Rangers come out west that I look at them as if I do any of the prospects.

Considering that Jokinen had just played the night before for a different sweater in a different system with a different coach, I thought he played well. Considering the Rangers, one of the coldest teams in the NHL went into Los Angeles against one of the hottest teams in the league, and were 2 goal posts away from coming up with a win, you can’t feel all that upset about the game. Really this game came down to 1 boneheaded move by the coach which cost the team 2 points.
