Good effort from most the game that I saw. I didn't see the end but it sounds like Duhon fell apart at the end. I wasn't expecting the win but wanted to see a better effort against the Cavs. Maybe James was impressed.

He was wiped out. He's got the flu, got a bum leg from a collision I think (didnt you say you heard that on the pregame), he's got the bad back, and as we all know he's got no backup. Can't fault him for running out of gas.

We lost the game at the start though. Down 0-10, fell behind by 15. I commend them for not falling completely apart and losing by 30 or more. They fought all the way back but just couldn't complete the deal. No biggie.

Yeah, he had some injury before the game they announce. Didn't know he had the flu too.

Goto guy??? we have a bunch of good players,it's more like who ever has it going. Every one of these guys have won a game for us at some point this season. Who was the goto guy on the suns.

We've had a pattern of three guys getting hot at different parts of each game. Tonight it was Lee early, then Harrington, then Nate looked like he was about to go off but it stopped and then nobody had it down the stretch. Unfortunate for the bad start not withstanding we had plenty of opportunities to take this game over. Cavs started making mistakes, LeBron cooled off. Another thing that did us in was those late shot clock 3's that Gibson and the other kid I can't remember hit. There were three or four in the second half where we defended well and a late shot clock 3 pointer chuck came from them and it went in.

Lost was really good tonight.

Looks like I didn't miss much with the Knicks. LeBron toyed with them, almost got a triple double and the Knicks lost again.

Dream Week continues.

define "almost"?

Oh, my bad. I thought he only had 9 boards. Nice, even better.

Pierce, Allen and KG must be wondering what they're gonne do to finish off Dream Week. Maybe they'll do what they did to the Knicks last year on their home court.

You're happy we lost? Fuck you and your protege TrueGallFameBlueWhatever. You're the Marbury of this forum. Got banished, got allowed back in and get starters minutes, and nobody wants you here.

Anyone who is happy the Knicks lost, if anything to validate their opinion that the team sucks and they knew it all along, and eagerly wait for the team to lose so they can tell and internet community the team sucks and they knew it all along, has a serious problem in life, a void they're looking to fill.... and to choose to piss off an internet community with it is as low as one can get.

Congrats.

This kind of trash belongs on RealGM or ESPN not on a "Knicks Only Forum" like this. Spare us your trash will ya? Thanks.

It's called rooting for a high lottery pick. I'm sure when the Knicks are drafting in the lottery, people here will be happy with the draft pick.

You got a lot of learnin to do son.

Couldn't watch the game, usual links didnt work. But is the box score on NBA .com correct? Did Harrington shoot around 66% and had 13 rebonds to Lebron's 50% and 10 rebounds? So why are people giving kudos to Lebron and not to Al? Again didnt see the game wish I had, looks like it was close.

IMO, that was a significant problem that limited them. In crunch time too much fell on Nash. He became their go-to guy because he had to "make something happen" or bail them out with a shot.

In the playoffs, you have to turn out of that team stuff and motion offense in today's basketball. Nash and Amare average 60 shots in the playoffs I believe.

You know they are at that point where you don't know what to root for. Close to a playoff berth but still not there. I wouldn't be happy with no playoffs and the 15th pick.

I don't care what point of the season it is, you gotta have someone who knows how to get their own. And that person needs to be hungry under pressure.

Phuk James, he is a Cav for all I know, so I could care less if he wet his pants because of the Knicks effort or not.

We lost on a night the Cavs were human and the Knicks fought back. Since Im more than tired of moral victories, I say this is one of the most frustrating losses of the season. This could've been a season-defining win. This win would've done wonders for our sudden playoff hopes. But I forget that this is a script and its always the same crap. We make it interesting at a certain point in the season but our deficiencies, lack of talent and poise end up making us another lottery team out of the real jackpot positions.

Sighs. What's new? Its getting tiring.

Anytime the marketing morons at MSG come up with some catchy ploy to drum up ticket sales we always get our asses handed to us. Remember that Boston dig and how Boston digged into us pretty good

There's no doubt that the genius who came up with the "Formidable" commercial came up with the "Dream Week" slogan.

It IS the "Dream Week" only that not for the Knicks.

Good game, hard to take another loss but that was good game tonight. Special shoutout to Tommy Dee and theknicksblog.com. I went over to their gathering tonight and Butterfield8 and it was a great time. Really good job by Tommy and co. of organizing. I MIGHT be on SNY TV tonight...they were interviewing people about "What is the craziest thing you would do to bring Lebron to NY?"

I have nothing to learn especially from you.

What are we going to get in the 09 lottery? What did we have to gain by you wanting us to lose last year? NOTHING. The Bulls with a FAR BETTER RECORD won the lotto last year. So your theory goes right down the ****ter with that one.

Losing breeds losers. We have some winners on this team. If we win and make the playoffs they benefit and that's experience worth far more than purposely losing only to end up with a 6,7,8,9 pick ANYWAY for we're not bad enough to lose how YOU WANT US TO LOSE (15 wins...) and again, you refuse to acknowledge that having the most losses has nothing to do with winning the lotto.

We've already won more games than the worst teams of the league will probably win so what's the point....

Few things I want to mention:

Al had a good game. problem is he doesn't know when he has cooled off..

Gallo doesn't get the ball much. He is shooting close to 50% and when open doesn't miss.. and he is open often...

this team is just not smart overall..

Q is the worst shooting guard , starting shooting guard on any level of basketball I have seen..

NBA does its fans an injustice with they way the games are called, I remember when guys like bernard, Alex english, Dantley, Bird, Dominique used to score points by making shots. All while being pushed, scratched, hit, poked, the works.. today, when guys can come down 5 straight posessions and get ticky tack foul calls, there is a problem with this league... stern has tried to manufacture stars... He is hurting this league..

time to get jeffries out of the center spot....

TEam is selfish.. just selfish... when will they learn..
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser............... TKF

Because other than his 52 points, LeBron carried his team to a victory while Al had an unusual great game and could just get us close, like always.

We're looking at the 8-14 pick right now. It is what it is but eventually you have to start breeding an atmosphere of confidence and winning. We have young guys on the team here that we consider a part of our future. We do better to win games to develop them than to purposely tank games to try to hope and pray we win a lotto which is foolish.

I'd rather win and develop our kids into winners.

At least Mike D is that type as well, he wants to win, he sees the value in winning, draft position be dammned.

So the wanna be tankers on this forum just need to pack it in.

If we play with the same effort and a few less putrid possesions we can beat Boston Friday. We ran into the 2 best players in the league who were on a mission. And we could've still won tonights game if a few plays went our way and if the ref's didn't give LebRon every single call.

But again....we don't have the superstar who can carry us when we need it. I'll take the effort. It's refreshing to see guys work hard and feel like crap after the game because they EXPECT to win.

Don't worry isles - more excitement is coming to you. We will most likely lose to Boston and probably to Portland.
I am so jealous... You have too much fun and I hate it.
But from other hand it is nice that at list somebody is happy when Knick lose.

And the Isles have won 4 straight. Playing the kids is starting to pay off. They better not keep it up though because I want Tavares.

Would have been nice for the Rags to win on Graves night. Too bad. Suckas. Can they retire anybody else from their fluke championship team? Maybe next year they can retire the guy who sharpened their skates 15 years ago.
LOL
Looks like I get under your skin.
I shouldn’t. It smells too bad out there.
