GREENBURGH, N.Y. –– So much for the idea that a single loss can help a team by relieving pressure.
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony said Syracuse would have preferred to go unbeaten rather than lose a game during the regular season.
“I don’t think nobody want to lose games,” Anthony said Monday at Knicks practice. “I mean, we wanted to go undefeated. I know they wanted to go undefeated. It happened, they lost. We’ll see how they rank us now. We might drop to seven now.”
Knicks forward Josh Harrellson is expected to have right wrist surgery “shortly” and then faces a six-week recovery period, a Knicks spokesman said Monday.
“He’ll be back sometime after the All-Star break,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni added.
Harrellson fractured the wrist during an awkward fall in Saturday night’s 119-114 double-OT loss to the Denver Nuggets at MSG.
Philly Friends Central forward Amile Jefferson is still mulling his college options, but at least one source close to the recruitment believes it will come down to Duke or N.C. State.
“I think it’s 60/40 Duke,” the source said.

So far, so good.
