The culprit to her collapse? A concussion she suffered while practicing for the match.

Said Azarenka: “I was warming up in the gym prior to my match against Gisela Dulko when I fell while running a sprint. I fell forward and hit my arm and head.”

Originally, reports were blaming the blistering temperature and the high humidity.

“I felt worse as the match went on, having a headache and feeling dizzy,” said Azarenka, who was trailing 5-1 when she collapsed. “I also started having trouble seeing and felt weak before I fell.”

New York Knicks guard Toney Douglas had a decent campaign his rookie season as he averaged 8.6 points and 2.0 assists per game. Unfortunately the same can not be said for his club as they would limp into the end of the regular season last spring with a 29-53 mark.

That was a different team however in a lot of ways as the Knicks have undergone a drastic “Make-Over“ over the summer and the team that will take the hardwood this year for the Blue And Orange will be a much different bunch than last year’s squad. For the first time in a long time it looks like Knicks fans will have something else to enjoy during Knicks games besides the dance team if you catch New York Vinnie’s drift.

Douglas spoke with the “New York Post” and told the paper that he has much higher expectations both for himself and the team in the upcoming season. As far as what he is looking to accomplish on the self-improvement side the second year player said “I had an OK rookie year, but this year I want to be more vocal and be one of the leaders on the court. At the same time, you can’t be a leader if you don’t hold up your end of the bargain. If people are slacking, I’ll tell them. If I’m slacking, I want them to tell me.”

As New York Vinnie wrote earlier “MY BOYS” have gone through some major changes personnel wise this summer. Of course the big catch was Free Agent Amar’e Stoudemire, but they also added lots of other quality players during the off-season. Raymond Felton, Rony Turiaf , Anthony Randolph, Kelena Azubuike and Roger Mason all make this a much more well rounded team than last year’s squad.

Douglas was asked by reporters if he thought that this year’s edition could make the Post Season in the Eastern Conference. Douglas replied “Definitely. I feel like we have a lot of talent. We just all have to be on one page and make sure everybody is totally on it. I feel we are a playoff team. We’re just building relationships now. It’s almost a totally new team. I’ve been working on the pick and roll with Amar’e. So there’ll be a better bond when training camp starts.”

After a lot of years of wandering around the desert, this season Knicks fans may actually have something to do in late April besides watching other teams besides our own playing in the NBA Post Season. A winning basketball team always seems to make the winter go by quicker and seem a lot less harsh. Let’s hope that will be the case this year for the “Greatest City To Ever Exist On The Planet, New York City.”
