Atlanta Hawks [14-17] @ New York Knicks [24-3] Knicks Return In Madison Square Garden With Major Disappointment One Major Mistake That The Knicks Did Was Leaving Joe Wide Open
After being away from Madison Square Garden for almost 1 Month, And now the Knicks finds them self in Madison Square Garden again since being away for so long and looks to end the Month of December strong.
But The Knicks were really unfortunate that they lost to the Hawks by 14 Points, Behind the strong shooting night by Joe Johnson, The Hawks All-Star Guard. "Maybe we were just very tired for the road trips we've been taking for almost a month even with that jet logs in almost half of the roster, Im still very disappointed on our loss in our comeback in Madison Square Garden." Knicks Head Coach Mike D' Antoni said after the game in a post-game interview.
But the Knicks still showed some effort to try to comeback with the absence of Future Superstar, Leading MVP Candidate, Future ROY, And All-Star John Wall, Kyle Korver is still showing his strong shooting and Amar'e Stoudemire got so powerful on the Boards with 16 to finish the night and Azubuike still contributing strong off the bench after showing a negative game in Boston by hogging the ball.

December Recap: Knicks Were Not That Dominant In December
In December, Many things happened that shocked that Knicks and Put down the Knicks,
First Up, John Wall had average 38 Points and 13 Assists in the Month of December and had some Major Triple Doubles!
Second, The Knicks started to lose some games since losing against the Pistons.
Despite that, The Knicks still show strength onto their opponents but when they lost John Wall they lacked Defense and Offense but still more on defense because the Knicks have Amr'e Stoudemire and Kyle Korver to lead them even without Wall.
John is still on top of the NBA in the MVP candidate list but his injured for the moment.
Josh Smith made a serious impact late this December including when they beated the Knicks.
Joe Johnson is seen under Josh Smith but hey! They are teammates, So they an lead the Hawks into something big.
Durant, Former MVP candidate top 2 but fell behind Smith and Johnson but still he is showing no signs of slowing down.
Deron Williams still hanging on the MVP List and hopes to be part still in the succeeding months to come.
League Leaders
West Rookie
Still remains as the League top West Rookie but many say that those are not the numbers if your running for ROY.
East Rookie
..... Those Are big number putting up by Wall during December but can he recover from his injury and remain as the NBA's top Rookie?
West Player
Tim Duncan showing no signs of slowing down despite his already aging and proves that he can still be the old Tim Duncan that can bring the Spurs into a Championship Team Once Again
East Player
G-Force really deserves to be called December East Player Of The Month because he lead the Bobcats from a slow start to a very strong finish this December and will prove more on that as they face the Knicks on the Knicks next game.
Player Evaluations For December
Eddy Curry - He really got off to a great and strong start in December and putting up some small Double Double but got off to a bad end to the year.
Amar'e Stoudemire - Despite being knocked off from the Player Of The Month and Leading MVP candidate he is really not showing that he's being upset of the result infact he gets stronger and stronger and has improved on his post moves this December and Rebound and a little in Passing.
Danilo Gallinari - Gallo had been really struggling to find his rythmn in shooting the basketball from mid-range and said "I will practice and practice for this coming January 2008 and i will be better than ever" so far thats the latest from Danilo from December. And also he had been quiet for some reasons.
Kyle Korver - Since being acquired by the Knicks, He really proved that he deserves his minutes on the floor and had shown his Clutchness inside the court and also his play making thats sets him free to take his own shot, Despite just coming off from injury he had shown beautiful shooting and scoring in the last week of December.
John Wall - Maybe this is his break out Month with some Triple Double and almost Quadruple Doubles and had been outstanding on his Rookie Season and the NBA itself said the He can win 4 awards or maybe 5 awards or more in his rookie season, All-Star MVP, Regular Season MVP, Rookie Challenge MVP, Scoring Champ (only if he can top Amar'e), All Defensive Team #1 NBA All Rookie Team #1 NBA All Team #1 and Rookie Of The Year Award, Thats planty but if Wall can bounce back form his injury, I bet that he can get all those awards.
Kelena Azubuike - Had been showing one of the best players to come off the bench so far this season and its because of his presence when Kyle Korver was out during Korver's injury days. And had been consistent on scoring 10 or more Points off the bench.
Anthony Randolph - Just I Can All Say That he can be good off the bench and better in the starting lineup.
Leon Powe - He had some awsome games so far for the Knicks this season and proves that he's more than just being off the bench.
Patrick Ewing Jr. - Said he is finding some playing time but when he gets his minuets he broke our hearts (or Maybe My heart)
Landry Fields - Still has no appearance so far, Due to Hyper Extended Knee. Surgery would be anytime this January.
Roger Mason - Not much to say because he only played and was limited to only 1 game in December due to his surgery early this December.

Charlotte Bobcats [9-22] @ New York Knicks [25-3] Knicks Spoil Wallace's 44 Behind STAT's Very Crucial Free Throw STAT's Very Crucial Free Throw That Lead To The Knicks Win Over The Bobcats
The Knicks really never gave up on that game despite heading to the fourth trailing by double digits, The Knicks still showed their toughness and that was shown by Kyle Korver, Amar'e Stoudemire and Danilo Gallinari.
The Knicks really got off to a bad start and slow to say the least as they were really taken over by the Bobcats in the form of Player Of The Month Gerald Wallace. but when the Second Half came Kyle Korver showed his streaky shooting that he has shown over the past game in December but then still not enough to over come the lead and so Danilo Gallinari and Amar'e Stoudemire helped him with some second chance points coming from Eddy Curry.
In the Fourth Quarter the bench (Buike, Powe And Randolph) showed up and shined in the first minutes that lead to the huge momentum in the Knicks side after their poor 1st Half performance Buike had some Mid-Range Jumpers and boards coming from Powe and Randolph then the Starters came in with a Bang. With 44.5 seconds remaining Danilo Gallinari heated up and hitted a long range mid range Jumper that putted the Knicks up by 1 and the first lead that the Knicks got over the Bobcats since the first basket made by Kyle Korver in the First Quarter. But then on the other end of the floor, Gerald Wallace continues to score and hitted a hard lay-up in traffic that putted the Bobcats ahead by 1 Point again. Then STAT got fouled with only 22.1 seconds remaining and hitted both free throws that putted the Knicks up by 1 Point again and so the ball was on the hands of Stephen Jackson in the last seconds then pulled up a jumper over Korver then he missed the Tyrus Thomas got the board and threw the ball and it went in! but unfortunately the one who was saying the names when you shoot the ball he said "NO BASKET" and everyone went crazy!
