Artest was acquired in August and the former first-round draft pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1999 averaged 20.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 57 games for the Sacramento Kings last season. Artest will instill more fear into opponents now that he is teaming up with Yao on defense. Adelman hopes Artest can stay healthy after injuries cut his |

How could this happen so fast to such a talented roster? Can the Colts blame a lack of production running the football or the sloppy play of Peyton Manning for the downfall? The reason is simple. Teams are starting to catch up to Indianapolis, which dropped to 3-4 on the season following Monday night's 31-21 lo |

BACKCOURT: Chris Duhon was the team's main offseason acquisition and will run the offense for D'Antoni. As mainly a backup with the Chicago Bulls last season, Duhon appeared in 66 games and scored 5.8 points per game with four assists. Duhon is a very good pass-first point guard, something the Knicks have been lacking for a while. He may be an upgrade over what the Knicks had running the poin |
