I don't think that was a bad look to be honest. And I get pissed when we miss FTs too. I get that this game was crazy frustrating. But we'll learn. Raised expectations make for even more pain after games like this. But I was furious after Houston. This is more frustration. Effort was there.

Let's get Milwaukee, Washington, Phoenix and Charlotte then get ready for battle with Miami next week. At least so far we've been destroying teams we should be beating. Let's hope that continues.

Get better soon, JKidd!

Forget who we've beaten and lost against. If back in August or Septmeber you were told the Knicks would be 9-4, I think you would've signed up for it. We got beat by a pretty good team without a lot of players and were still in position to win. Like I said, it hurts but not nearly as much as Houston when we simply didn't show up.

I'm very happy that we've been beating the teams we should beat. Milwaukee is going to be tough, but I think that's a team we should beat.

This is the second game we have blown. Both Dallas and last nights games were games we should have won. Both teams we let hang hang around and then our shot selection downthe stretch sucked

Yes this is true. However, we have a really great come back win against San Antonio, a solid win against Dallas and a blowout of Miami. Everything levels out after 82 games. You are what your record says you are.

So far the only things that really concern me right now is Tysons defense and Kidd's health. As long as Shump comes back healthy and Amar'e's health can be managed we are going places.

And in a few games if we're still winning then we'll let the Nets game go aslo. We'll have our shot at revenge in Brooklyn in a few weeks. I'm telling you I'd be more worried if I didn't see any effort. The guys were playing hard out there. But 3-19 for Felton and 2-11 for Sheed along with some bad late defense did us in. It's going to happen again. I'd be more worried if a team like Sacramento or Washington did that to us. Nets are good.

KNicks are a good team. going undefeated and extropolating that foward is a bad Homer exercise.

If you beat the sub .500 teams and go .500 against the top 16 in the league your gonna have a good record and finish a top 4 seed.

Which means your going to lose road games to the better teams.

Get used to it, the N*ts don't suck anymore.

Injuries will happen. Figure we are without someone about every game. Muscle spasms, groin strain, pulled this or that. Expect this with an older roster. Its the core we have to be concerned about.

Too much relience on Melo and the offense went into a stall.

Its a long season, they'll figure it out or we just face reality that Sir Charles is right all along.
