this is the time to pick up some easy wins. strike-shortened season, let's keep it rolling and win some big games over the next week.

There are no gimme games in the NBA.

Yeah, especially when we're talking about the Knicks.

I do not remember the last time I looked at an "easy" upcoming stretch and made an optimistic prediction on how we'd do, and the Knicks actually matched my prediction.

That said, yes, this is clearly a soft part of the schedule, and it would be mighty nice to take full advantage.

oh please. there are easy stretches in the schedule and hard stretches. this is an easier stretch and they can pile up some wins here. i think it'll be good to help them figure out the defense and offense in this stretch. not saying they're definite wins, but they're games the knicks should win.

they're missing a lot of guys right now. it's starting to add up. hopefully iman and amar'e can play by wednesday or friday.

Anyone who watched the game knows that MDA is covering up for TD here.

Coach was screaming at him at the end of the game cause he forgot the in-bounds play.

Fucking Time Warner is making me miss my HD version and even with this 2x3 inch streaming video I could see that happening.

yeah, i saw that. the toronto raptors announcers even saw it (and probably heard d'antoni screaming)

still, they shouldn't have been in that position - too many 3s.

we all were complaining about the same things last year, takes a while for guys to figure stuff out.

TD sucks. Not the root of all problems, but a big contributor IMHO.
