No they haven't. Their backs have been against the wall almost all yr and they sit 9 games under .500. Did they respond several days ago in Cleveland when they got blown out by 20+? What about the recent losses to Dallas, Portland, and Orlando? Every once in a while the team has a teaser or their opponents lay down. Lebron has yet to dominante in The Garden I don't know what his story is. IMO his stardome is becoming an enigma.

TrueBlue - how trueblue are you anyway?

You don't think missing Crawford, Quentin, Lee and now Francis matters?

LOL for the past week fans have been screaming for Francis to be bought out. Before Crawford went down he was called CRAWFUL by many. The injury bug hasn't been pleasant but almost ever team in the league has had to deal with a Major injury/injuries.

TrueBlue - how many teams are dealing with the loss of THREE players, at the same time, who all receive significant minutes?

The injury thing is not intended as an excuse, but to measure missing one player against three at the same time is not the same.

Especially on a young team with as a fragile balance as the Knicks.

C'mon, we're talkin' Mardy Collins, Renaldo Balkman, Nate and Randolph Morris on the floor together.

Sticking around all day?

I don't think so. Got things to do dude.

But it doesn't lessen my passion for Knicks Basketball.

As i've said many times, we're missing 3 30+ mins per game players. One of the top rebounders in the LEAGUE. Our two main deep threats and our big crunchtime player. So that's 42pts, 21rebs, 8.5asts and oh yeah they also shoot well from the line.

I don't get how anyone can really be TOO hard on the team for going thru a rough spell. It's really in my mind about Steph not being able to give what he was for a few games. If he's able to go, he gives us a chance to win. Then it's just a matter of the supporting cast showing up. Frye has to continue to be a real option on offense to help augment Steph and Curry. Nate can be a pain, but he's a scorer and we need him.

I was glad to see Morris get in there. He fit right in as far as drawing fouls. It's something this team is good at, so he'll be right at home. Of course he has a lot to learn on D.
