Very True..both Felton and Toney Douglas have stunk it up the past 5 games.

Tony Douglas is going for his first. He ain't no point guard. I repeat! D'Antoni is bad for the Knicks and he is a bench killer. Walsh better wake up because we will be under 500 in 10 days. Gallo ,Fields, Chandler, Douglas, and everyone except Amare should be on the trading block. To get defense on this team.

D'Antoni!! There are more things to B ball than making shots. What about defense?

the team was playing well before during the whole Melodrama... i don't see how that has anything to do with it... this team just looks tired.

well, we've known all season they're playing on a short rotation...

i think felton is playing extremely banged up - and as our most important player outside of amar'e that hurts.

but i don't know. i think at this point the melo stuff might be on the radar for the knicks. it's known by the entire world that melo wants to go to the knicks. and every day he doesn't go somewhere else is another day he's seemingly closer to NY. fields and chandler just look off to me. felton, too, but i think that's injury.

the team isn't running the PnR the way they were doing during their run of good games... lately it's been all about dumping the ball off to Amare in the high post & spotting up beyond the 3 pt arc... no motion w/o the ball other than Landry going in for offensive rebound opportunities everytime 1 of his teammates shoots up a jumper... i think Ray & TD are dealing w/injuries, i agree w/u... but i dunno what can explain the way they've gone away from their bread & butter of late... it's really mindboggling.

We looked like the 3-8 Knicks from the beginning of the season.

Amare was forcing the issue, most of the Knicks 3pt shots did not come within the flow of the offense, and our defense was terrible.

Add to this the fact that the team, in general, seems to be in a shooting funk at this point in the season, and you have a recipe for losing.

Chandler did not rise to the occasion, Gallo has to finish those drives to the basket (watching on the computer- could not tell if his many complaints of contact were legit), and Felton has to facilitate and put his teammates in position where they can succeed on their shots.

I am also coming to hate the zone that we are playing on D- it does not seem to be working, and we are switching too often for my taste.

all this melo drama has me feeling like we should be moving on from Tina.

Supreme I am sorry you had to go see this embarrassment in person.

Knicks turned the ball over 14 times.

8-24 from 3. 42% from the field while allowing Houston to shoot 47%

Chuck Hayes..sneaky useful. BAH

Malik Rose mentioned something to this effect during the post-game show... The Knicks aren't sneaking up on anybody now, teams are better prepared.

Oh my goodness, and to get defense we need to trade Gallo, Fields, Chandler for Melo.

Gallo does play defense. Chandler and Douglas are up and down, especially Douglas, and Fields just cant stay with his man.
