I kinda think that Rautins is a cut below Reddick. Reddick on our team would send Fieldsto the bench

I don't care if we're fighting back. Old Knicks did the same **** too. Down by 20, fight back and then lose by 10. This is old.

The game was over in the 2nd quarter and that's what sucks the most.

Classic.

yeah, since we're so easily in the same class as miami and orlando...

classic...

the fight in the team is there...

the talent is not...

what did you expect? a win?

i GUARANTEE most experts picked us to lose...

game ain't quite over, but i expected a loss.

You expected a loss..okay..did you expect a blowout loss?

i expected a 6-10 pt loss... just made the cut tonight.

The final score may not indicate it but to me this was a blowout loss and an awful loss at that.

With the right coaching and preparation this game would've been ours for the taking.

So true. Cut his minutes. Tired of waiting for him to erupt. Sh*t or get off the pot

a year ago people thought Reddick was a complete waste of space. The dude is the highest scorer all time i the history of Duke bball. Gotta count for something.

Gallo didn't want to face Howard at the rim, he kept picking up his dribble and dishing it off, even when he had a clear path. Didn't expect him to do much with Howard there, but I would have liked to see him try harder. Overall I don't see the same swagger the team had before. There is a phoning it in vibe to parts of their game lately. Maybe a small rotation not being challenged for PT makes it easier to get sloppy.

I read that he's getting better so maybe we'll see the kid soon. I just want to see us do something about adding some size to the rotation. If Timo and AR aren't the answer we're gonna struggle to win big games. This was a game we could've won with better shooting and FT's. What the heck happened to our FT shooting tonight? I think from what I saw we're in the same class as the Magic if we play our normal game. It's just really disturbing what has happened to our bigman contingent. Turiaf isn't the answer and then we have nothing else behind him right now.

I'm not too worried cuz I just know something is gonna happen before or by the trade deadline. There's no way Donnie is gonna leave the team like this when it's so clear we're very close.

yeah, i think i was one of them too... but sometimes all u need is the opportunity... to his credit he made the most of his & now he's an invaluable part of their rotation.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

We're getting killed on the offensive boards at the beginning of the games. Same thing happened in Miami. No boxing out, no drives to the hole. Results in fewer fast break points and fewer foul shots.

No Briggs, if you're not willing to add another star than what we need is 30/10 from Amare and 20/10 from Felton.

What's our record when Amare scores less than 30?

Wilson Chandler is good for 20 on 50% every single night. Its the lack of a quality second big(obvious for many reasons) tremendous inconsistency from Gallo and lack of a stronger bench that hurts this team. We score more than any team in the league--that being said Im down with trading fields and Gallo for Carmelo --that WIL NOT change our need for a 2nd quality big man and a bench.

In this free wheeling offense, how does a starter only get 5 shots? I know TD got more than 5 shots

The 2 holes are another good scoring guard/SF and a Big that is actually effective covering the paint and boards. I almost don't even care if it's Melo or Verajao or Mayo or Camby... We just need to plug the holes.

another loss in which we were just too small.. like someone said. "we are fighting a bear with branches"

good personal game for chandler...29 points season high.. Best part of the game for him, when he drove and dished the ball to an open williams for a three.. that is good offense.. we need more of that and less looking to shoot when he drives...

Gallo. 2-5, gotta get this kid more shots.. finished 10/7/1.... this offense misuses his skills..

Amare: great scoring game, although in foul trouble.. gotta rebound man!! 4 boards?

Felton: gotta pass and initiate more.. 6-22? come on

fields: continues to struggle, but I think this also goes hand in hand with this, got for your's type of offense we are seeing now..

Williams: nice shooting game.. needs to focus on defense...


We made hedo look great... christ jesus

We made dwight look like with.. really this guy is so overrated.. but whatever...


we need to beat indy, who will also be a tough game with their size in the middle..

Dudu infected Felton in this game. Gallo was asking for the ball a couple of times and was ignored. The times he drove and dished the ball to Amare, he fumbled the ball or missed a dunk. Gallo should have at least 4 assts but ended up with 0.

I wish AR would be amare lite but I guess he needs to get some weight training...

Yup. I watched the game with my wife and my 6 year old boy on TV and both of them noticed that Gallo was not getting any touches. Felton needs to manage the game a little and make sure Gallo is included in the offense. Gallo went to the line 7 times. He is very efficient.

driving and dishing.. what a novel concept.. maybe more knick players should practice that.... maybe we wouldn't get charges at the end of games, or better yet, maybe, just maybe we have a team with more balance.. like the one that beat us tonight?

Gallo drove and dished to Amare about 4-5 times. 2-3 of them Amare fumbled the ball when it hit him on the hands. They were the right play. Dwight was on his way and dished to Amare.
