Is NY the Mecca of the Basketball Universe Again?

With about 1/4 of the NBA season in the books, panic is setting in out west in Lakerland while Knicks fans are rejuvenated & making plans for a deep playoff run. Are the Knicks for real? Is Melo making a case to be MVP? Has D'Antoni's hot seat grown hotter? We'll be joined by a NYC journalist covering the Knicks beat to find out if the Knicks can build momentum as Amare gets closer to a return to the court.

We'll also address several other hot topics including Tagliabue's decision in the BountyGate case, another tragic weekend in the NFL, Bobby Petrino getting a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) chance in Western Kentucky, and more.

Tune in Wednesday at 1:00pm ET as we provide a "New View from the Sideline!"
