08:11 AM ET 03.15 | Mike D'Antoni is trying to head off trouble in New York. D'Antoni knows a red-flag loss when he sees one, which is why the Knicks' head coach spent part of Monday's practice addressing Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. He spoke to the team's top three players individually about everything from playing with more energy, ball movement, defensive intensity and ball movement again just in case 'Melo didn't hear it the first time. "We've got to stress ball movement, especially early in the shot clock," D'Antoni said. "And I told them, at the end of the 24 seconds that's where their superstardom comes into play. You get them the ball they'll get you a shot. But before that we have to play as a team, move the ball and get to our spots."

Not too long ago, someone wanted this current team to play the Miami Heat every night. Wonder how that fan feels now.

That fans feels great. I don't care if we lose to Cleveland and Indiana. If Knicks draw Miami it's a wrap.
