Hope you don't mind....I'm adding this to the videos on the front page.
Not at all - go for it.
Anyways, I figured I'd have a better analysis of this game this morning but I can't think of one beyond the obvious:
*Crawford bad game, bad shot selection, terrible with turnovers.
*Too many turnovers.
*Horrible overall defense - Jameer's six untouched, uncontested layups were inexcuseable.
*Marbury atrocious defense, too many turnovers of his own.
*A decision not to try to pound it more into the paint.
*Got overwhelmed by Adonal Foyle of all people.
*Bad lineups: Why was the 2nd quarter started with.

? What was Isiah trying to prove?
Why bring Malik Rose into the game in the 4th quarter? TO do what exactly?
Terrible decision making down the stretch especially when we needed 3's but we drove for 2's. Crawford had a wide open 3 and he instead drives the lane and bricks the shot and forced us to foul the Magic. Then Marbury does the same the following trip up court but got lucky with that wild layup and the foul.
Still, poor decision making.
Again, it waas poor decision making NOT to hammer Jameer Nelson early in the game when he was already on his fifth uncontested layup. That was inexcusable.
Looking at the turnovers I'd swore we had more. Looking at the score I'm surprised it was "only" a 10 point loss it felt much worse.
Overall, disappointing, and I was pretty riled up in that fourth.
Now we face Miami. We sure better not lose to that team on Sunday. If we do I'm not sure what to say other than "Same Old Knicks" because it sure seems as if the same errors by the usual culprits continue to haunt our team.
