New York must have been worried at the prospect of losing both Carmelo Anthony and Jason Kidd, but 'Melo dropped 30+ in his last outing, and Kidd continues his 39-year-old legs have some life in them.

He's taken two blows to the head in the last two weeks, yet plays on. Sunday night, Kidd came out of the halftime locker room sported a New York Rangers hockey helmet to protect his noggin, mostly as a joke.

Kidd said he "got creative," but what's really been creative is how the Knicks have managed to beat the Heat twice this year and stay perfect at home.
