^ you could just as easily have said that the Blazers lost this game on free throws and turnovers...
That would suggest they lost more b/c of them, and less b/c of us.
Which reinforces my point that we're still a lottery team.
Most NBA games are decided by about 6-8pts. They're ALL decided by FTs and TOs. If the Knicks can continue shooting FTs better and turn the ball over less as they learn the offense, this team will win more of those close games like the GSW games and the first POR game. The important thing about the FTs today was that Craw, Marbs, Curry and Frye took the majority of them. Those are our big offensive stars and most of them shoot well from the line. Those guys getting FTs means they're being aggressive. If that continues, we'll get more wins.
Let's not forget that the Knicks have had 7 road games thus far. I think they're doing fine. I hope Brown tells Marbury to play the game the same way in Charlotte. The team needs him to be aggressive and iniate the offense. Other players, like Craw and Curry, will start getting better looks and lighter coverage once Marbury is rolling.
