GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Phil Jackson says that a recent conversation with New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony factored into his decision to take a win now approach with the team this summer.In a meeting after the season, Jackson asked Anthony, 32, if the Knicks were moving quickly enough to meet Anthonys timeline to win. Jackson said Anthonys response conveyed that hes getting into an age where things have to happen for him, so we decided to activate ourselves.Jackson moved quickly, acquiring Derrick Rose in a trade late last month and signing veterans Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings in free agency.All three players were introduced at the team practice facility on Friday. The club also announced the signings of reserve forward Lance Thomas, European big man Willy Hernangomez and summer leaguer Marshall Plumlee.Jackson and the rest of the front office believe that theyve put together a team with a little more experience [and] a little more competitive power than in seasons past.The Knicks won a total of 49 games in Jacksons first two full years as team president, which already has included two head coaches.Jackson shied away from making playoff predictions on Friday but said the club would be more competitive than last season, when the Knicks won just 32 games and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year.We like this team, Jackson said. Joakim Noah has been somebody thats been on my list for quite a long time.One concern for the Knicks this season will be the possibility of injuries. Rose has played in 39 percent of possible games since the start of the 2013-14 season because of several knee injuries. Noah was limited to 29 games last season because of left-shoulder injuries, and Jennings missed nearly 12 months because of a torn left Achillies.There are some guys who have had injury issues in the past, we think weve added enough depth and we feel confident as we do our due diligence medically, Knicks general manager Steve Mills said. We feel good about our ability to withstand a season and have a competitive team.Mills said the clubs win now approach this summer was taken with Kristaps Porzingis in mind. Some assumed that the Knicks would rebuild slowly around Porzingis, a 20-year-old who will enter his second season, but Mills said he believes that the best thing we can do to help him develop is to put him in a culture of winning basketball.Cheap NCAA Jerseys . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday.

Kyle Okposo, Johan Larsson, Matt Moulson and Marcus Foligno scored for Buffalo, which has won consecutive games for just the second time this season.I just think its huge getting four goals, Okposo said. Thats a team thats coming off a back-to-back and if we played well we thought that we could get those two points and we did that. We executed our gameplan and were able to get two big points. So hopefully we can take that confidence into Wednesday and roll with it.The Flames took a 1-0 lead into the second period, but the Sabres answered with three goals in a span of 101 seconds in the second.Penalties to Dougie Hamilton and Troy Brouwer at 10:02 gave the Sabres a 5-on-3 advantage, which they converted into a pair of goals. First, Okposo took a pass from Sam Reinhart and fired a wrist shot into the back of the net. On the Sabres next shot, Larsson redirected Evander Kanes wrist shot between the legs of Flames goalie Brian Elliott.Buffalo wasnt finished. Brouwer took another penalty with 7:04 remaining in the second, and Moulson cashed in with his sixth power-play goal of the season, giving him a share of the league lead in power-play goals.Its a lot of goals in a short amount of time for our team, Bylsma said.Flames rookie Matthew Tkachuk scored 22 seconds into the third to cut the Sabres lead, but Buffalo answered two minutes later when Foligno slid an odd-angle backhand shot behind a sprawling Elliott.Tkachuk had a goal and an assist and Mikael Backlund also scored for Calgary, which was coming off a 3-2 win at Detroit on Sunday night. Buffalo got two assists each from Reinhart and Taylor Fedun, who now hhas four assists in three games since being called up from the AHL.ddddddddddddobin Lehner had 29 saves for the Sabres, and Elliott turned away 28 shots.

We put ourselves in a bad position to kill too much tonight. Theres probably some wear and tear on some players that penalty kill a lot, so overall, just not a good game.?Buffalo had scored one goal or fewer in regulation seven times in its previous nine games, so the scoring output was overdue.Meanwhile, the Sabres are in line to finally get some reinforcements.Top-line center Ryan OReilly is scheduled to return by the end of the week. He missed his fifth straight game with an oblique injury.And Jack Eichel might not be far behind.
