Though Thomas has made lineup changes before the last two games, New York has lost four in a row, falling to 8-21. Only the Miami Heat (8-23) have a worse record in the Eastern Conference. Following a 100-83 loss to Chicago on Sunday, center Eddy Curry acknowledged that some players may be concerned about Thomas' future. ``You can't help but think about it, but we're trying,'' |

WASHINGTON (AP) -Injured starters Shaquille O'Neal and Jason Williams did not travel with the Miami Heat to their game against the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. After playing in each of Miami's first 29 games, O'Neal missed a second consecutive contest. He is sidelined by sore hips and a sore thigh.

Three quarters of Brandon Roy was good enough for the surging Portland Trail Blazers. Even Dwyane Wade's best game of the season couldn't save the struggling Miami Heat. Roy scored 22 points despite sitting out the entire second quarter with two fouls, and Portland beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-98 Friday night for its league-leading 12th consecutive win. The streak matches Portland's best run since winning 12 in a row during the 2001-02 season, the team's second-longest stretch. Portland's long |

MIAMI (AP) -Stan Van Gundy took a seat near the coaches' end of the Miami Heat bench early Friday afternoon, looking perfectly comfortable. Some would say right at home. With good reason - that spot used to be home. Van Gundy spent 12 years in the Heat organization under Pat Riley, before resigning unexpectedly as coach in December 2005 and spending the next 18 months in what essentially amounted to a basketball exile, still with the franchise yet never around the team. On Friday night, Van Gun |
