New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks
3:00 PM ET, March 20, 2011
Bradley Center, Milwaukee, WI
Carmelo Anthony's Knicks debut against the Milwaukee Bucks last month gave New York reason to believe it might be able to make an extended run in the playoffs.
He and the Knicks haven't consistently done enough since to reinforce that notion.
Anthony looks to bounce back from his worst offensive performance of the season and help New York avoid losing for the fifth time in six games when it visits the Bucks on Sunday.
The Anthony era in New York got off to an encouraging start, as the four-time All-Star had 27 points and 10 rebounds in a 114-108 win over Milwaukee on Feb. 23. He scored 29 in a comeback victory in Miami four days later, but the Knicks (35-33) appear to still be far removed from joining the East's elite teams.
New York is 7-7 since acquiring Anthony and Chauncey Billups from Denver, hardly the record it was hoping for when making the blockbuster trade.
The Knicks were talking last week about finishing fifth in the East, but the slump has a sixth- or seventh-place finish looking more likely.
