Reading the beginning of this thread vs. the end its the bi-polar coaster.

Reality is we got a long way to go. Its a process. That was an awful game.

THe rotation was swift, guys in and out, no harmony. No composure at all. Butler finishing the game? WTF?

Larry is the genious, let him find what he is looking for.

Nate is super but the turnovers are a killer.

Only one who looked good was mo t.

I don't expect this to conitinue, but I do know it will be a process.

I can't believe the panic and lack of composure. The nets had it, thats why they won.

Not the end of the world. on paper we have talent, youth, and potential. Its a whole new team and it will take some time.

Composure. Priceless!

horribly reffed game. just awful. Marbury isn't looking for his shot on offense, but I have a feeling that will change when the games (stats) count.

I agree that Malik and Penny may have been showcased tonight.

The Kings of Vegas. Get used to it.

i particularly hated that call in the 4th on carter's drive. what crap!! then he winces!? he's prepping for his inevitable 'injuted" act in jersey when his mom tells her little prince it's time to start pouting.

Frye is a pretty good player also...I sure wish that our coaching staff will play this young dude....Kristic has a pretty touch,,,so does Frye..

totally agree with you. i was impressed with his work on the boards too. real nose for it. good jumping. tough.

You can't get crazy over a game like this. Its a good learning experience for our team, against a solid team. The Nets are more polished and have more mature players, so they don't get as flustered and they run the scheme well.

I liked that the Knicks still played hard, despite things not going well in any area. This team is going to eventually be really good. We have to give them time to figure it out and gain some chemistry. I'm very encouraged by this teams prospects, cuz you just know that its going to get better.

I rant on the refs every game, the NBA just doesn't get it, it coddles the stars too much, that BS call vince got at the end mad me sick, he was defended well by barnes, had no where to go and just threw up a shot and got a call vs butler who just stood there... On any given sunday, any team, any player can fairly compete with any star or veteran, weither you are a rookie or bench player... The NFL has it right, you must play hard, you must execute, to win games, no bail out calls... The NBA is so worried about marketing their stars, they are letting the game play slip badly.. the refs in the NBA call the worst games I have ever seen in almost any sport...

I sure hope that you are right...

too many ball handlers on the court at once was the cause for that failure...I can guaranty you if Q was on the court as SG, thE movement would have been different...it is just stupid to have 3 guys in the starting lineup with PG mentality...

GREAT point. This is why i'm very optiimistic about things. Cuz really we haven't seen the knicks with their full starting lineup. Q makes a big difference cuz you HAVE to be concerned about him at all times. Q being in the game means we have a much more leathal perimeter and opens the paint for Curry. Right now they can cheat off Ariza cuz he's not gonna kill them with a shot, Q will.
