D'Antoni frowns upon one-on-one plays that involve a lot of dribbling, which, for some players, is a method of getting into rhythm. "Yeah, but I don't agree that's the way you play," he said. "Some guys might have to change their habits, but they can do that. He can do that."
Last night, Crawford had a very quiet first half, with just three shot attempts. After sitting for most of the third quarter, he returned midway through the fourth in a game the Knicks were leading by 17 points. Clearly, D'Antoni was trying to get the veteran to find his game.
Crawford worked a little from the point and allowed himself a few dribble moves for his trademark pull-up jumper. He sank one at the shot-clock buzzer, which is another trademark.

"There will be times when I want him to go one-on-one," D'Antoni said, "at the end of a shot clock, when that does come in handy."
However, D'Antoni said the extra dribbling isn't ever going to be worked into his philosophy - "We don't want anybody to do that," he said - and in his famously named "Seven Seconds or Less" system, there won't be too many occasions in which he envisions the need for making shots just before the shot-clock buzzer.
"We shoot way before the end of the shot clock, so he's going to have to find another part of his game," D'Antoni said. "That's kind of been eliminated."
Notes & quotes: David Lee (ankle) did not play but would have been available if it were the regular season. He is expected to play tonight. Wilson Chandler started in his place at power forward and had 22 points ... Marbury went into the crowd under the basket at halftime to sign a few autographs and take pictures with very appreciative fans.

pener with a lackluster practice yesterday afternoon. Even usually docile offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride chided the team for its lack of enthusiasm, using some adult language in the process.

"We had some decent intensity on defense, not as much as I would like on offense," oughlin said. "That's where we are. That's where we have to improve."
oughlin didn't call it a trend, noting that the offensive linemen have been pushing themselves. He also said it is the nature of the defense to be aggressive and the offense to be more methodical. "But I think we have to turn it up a notch," he said. "We'll get more done that way."

A pump is a device used to move liquids, or slurries. A pump moves liquids or gases from lower pressure to higher pressure, and overcomes this difference in pressure by adding energy to the system (such as a water system). A gas pump is generally called a compressor, except in very low pressure-rise applications, such as in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning, the equipment is known as fans or blowers.

Pumps or circulator pumps are an integral part of any hydronic system when installing or adding radiant heat to homes and businesses. These pumps are used to send water to an area of the hydronic system when it is called for, or to keep the flow of water in the system. PexSupply.com features a large selection of Cast Iron and Bronze taco pumps, including the best-selling 007 Taco Pump, reliable Bell and Gosset pumps and Taco IFC Pumps with Integral Flow Chek.

Those talks began before Thanksgiving, as Newsday reported Saturday. Steinbrenner said in a phone interview yesterday that there was "nothing new on Santana" but that general manager Brian Cashman is engaged in discussions with the Twins regarding the lefthander.

That's not the only thing on the Yankees' plate. They have talked internally about trying to trade for the Athletics' Dan Haren and are working to upgrade their bullpen via free agency. "We need to shore up the bullpen, I would say for sure," Steinbrenner said.

Upgrading the starting rotation, Steinbrenner said, is not an absolute must. But Santana, 28, is perhaps the best pitcher in baseball, and in a different class from any other pitcher potentially available. He is 93-44 in his career with a 3.22 ERA and two Cy Young Awards to his name.

Santana, who is represented by agent Peter Greenberg, recently turned down a four-year, $80-million contract extension from the Twins. He is set to become a free agent after the 2008 season, so teams don't want to give up a fortune in prospects/young talent now, then have to pay Santana a fortune to keep him long-term. But the Twins want premium talent in order to forfeit having Santana pitch for them in 2008.

Asked about specific players who might be part of trade talks for Santana, Steinbrenner said, "I don't really want to get into that."

However, a few players believed to interest the Twins are righthanders Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, second baseman Robinson Cano, centerfielder Melky Cabrera and perhaps minor-league outfielders Austin Jackson and Jose Tabata. But the Yankees have worked hard to upgrade their farm system and want to hold on to as much of that young talent as possible.

Santana is a special case, though. One source said yesterday that none of the above players would be off-limits in the right deal for Santana. Another source indicated that the Yankees plan to cling hardest to Chamberlain and Cano but that the others might be negotiable. The Twins need a centerfielder, as Torii Hunter signed with the Angels via free agency last week.

milar crimes increased from 25 reports in 2005 to 35 in 2006. As of July, 13 incidents had been recorded this year.

The counties typically see an uptick in such crimes at this time of year as the Jewish High Holy Days approach, Shapiro said.

Nationwide, the number of hate crimes has stayed fairly consistent through the years, unlike other serious crimes that have declined in recent years, said Randy Blazak, an associate professor of sociology and criminology at Portland State University in Portland, Ore. But Blazak also said hate crimes are grossly under-reported.

"There are still people being murdered and crosses being burned," he said. "People are in denial or believe it's somewhere else."

Generally, hate groups are weaker in the Northeast than other parts of the country, said Michael Barkun, a professor of political science at Syracuse University.

"A lot of these cases arise out of genuine hatred or hostility," Barkun said. "But they are the acts of individuals. They are not part of some systematic campaign."

"In playoff time, anything is possible," DiPietro said. "It depends on how badly they want me to get up there."

After the game, coach Ted Nolan was noncommittal about whether DiPietro will start Game 2, but when asked yesterday morning if he might face a difficult decision choosing between Dubielewicz and DiPietro once he was healthy, his answer eliminated any hint of controversy.
