LeBron tastes Big Apple -- and you know he loves it
New York brings out the big guns (celebs, Yankees) for LeBron James' only visit this season -- a 100-91 Cavs win over the Knicks. It's a preview of life for the King if he bolts Cleveland, Ken Berger says.
Mile High motivation moves 'Melo to be more vocal
All the talk about Denver standing still this offseason fueled the fast start by
Carmelo Anthony and Co. That's right: Slights are, well, nuggets of motivation

Frustration, losses mounting for Hornets' Paul
Chris Paul remembers when the Hornets were contenders. Now they're 1-3,

Gallinari is good distraction until LeBron sweepstakes
They're not winning, but they're entertaining. The Knicks fall to the 76ers 141-127 in OT despite Al Harrington's 42 points and Danilo Gallinari's 30. Don't worry N.Y., 2010 is almost here, Ken Berger says.

The Magic are off and running. The defending Eastern champs beat the 76ers 120-106 while newcomer Vince Carter adds 15 points in the win. Vinsanity's presence will take Orlando far again, Ken Berger says.
Shaq, Cavs need time to create chemistry Wallace, Celtics already have
The Shaq-LeBron era begins with a thud -- a 95-89 home loss to Boston. The only significance is this: The Celtics add Rasheed Wallace, and he fits their team perfectly. The Cavs add Shaq, who, for now, clearly doesn't, Ken Berger says.
