Its not about Gallo?............... It should be all about Gallo he sat 9 out out 10 OT minutes........... Plays 1 minute and scored 4 points!!!

Alright I gotcha...Keep Gallo out there then...No problem...I need a combination of these 3 guys I'm talking about though...3 useful guys that can absolutely help this team...Maybe a loss like this will allow MDA to step back and re-assess some things..

Kelly and Clyde talking about the weird rotation pattern right now...I'm just going to have to learn to live with the fact that this guy D'Antoni's gonna do what D'Antoni's gonna do...

Just noticed this: remember when Joey Graham scored with 34 seconds left in 2OT? Gallo was guarding him with his stiff legs and funneled Graham right towards the middle right at Lee and Lee, who was standing no less than say 1 foot away, watched the shot go up.

If the Knicks continue to give Lee and Harrington big minutes together, team will continue to suck cause they are awful at interior D.

Exactly...Darko couldn't have helped there? That's all we heard was Darko's shot-blocking blah, blah, blah....Play the guy...How 'bout on the play where Augustin got the ball late off Knick points, crossed the timeline, no knick guard in sight to pick him up (I think it was off the Duhon lefthanded layup make) and Al had to try and stop him going to the rim (looked like Al had the block there btw, there was a little body, but you don't call that - that attempt was weak from DJ - that's a no call right there if there ever was one) --- Darko's length couldn't have helped there either? That's why we got the guy I thought...I know we can only play 5 guys at a clip, but for me, TD's defense and toughness, Hill's post presence on both ends and Darko shot-blocking prowess need to be incorporated into the mix here...

You're joking right? Playing our crap prospects is going to help?

I don't think trust is the issue with Hill.


Douglas and Hill should have played minutes earlier, I think Douglas and Milicic should have gotten some minutes during crunch time since they are defensive minded.....not saying it was a difference maker as far as winning the game as this game was lost in the 1st quarter. If the Knicks would have been anywhere near competitive in the 1st quarter they would have won.

KellyT: "I don't know what happened in training camp, but (they don't seem to know eachother's games)"

F-ing embarrassing team top to bottom

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Ugh... now highlighting Brandon Jennings in the postgame...

As Joe Benningo would say, "Oh the pain!"

Thank You. You gotta play these guys...As a Knick fan, even if we don't win a lot of games, I wanna go into next off-season knowing exactly what we have with TD, Hill and Darko (is Darko worth resigning?)...For me that's a must.

Graham who cant handle the ball almost made Gallnari fall down and you blame Lee and Harrington. Dont get on the players MDA wants to switch every screen that is why you see Felton getting guarded by big men. I am so glad we drafted Hill instead of Jennings. jennings scored more points tonight then Lee will get for the month of November.

I am blaming Lee for not showing some defensive effort on that particular play, cause he absolutely ****ing sucked on that play. Watched the ****ing shot go up right in his grill. Gallo did what he should have. Lee did not.

The switching also sucks and is ridiculous. I don't know why they are doing it. Who cares about Jennings. Has nothing to do with Lee not playing D.

Lee had two blocks and bigs score 30 points tonight. He halso had 18 rebounds. How about keep someone in front of you and then these guys dont get to the rack the whole game. The reason we lost this game is Wilson Chandler has no feel for the game and our defenseive schemes sucks along with our defense.

Didn't get to see the game, I just finished a Session. It looks like an absolutely brutal loss. I hate to think were as bad as a team like the Bobcats, but it seems like were right there at the bottom with them right now. Still I can't help but think we're gonna see this team get better as we move along or does everyone really think this is as good as it gets this year?

1. I think Gallo will get better and get more Playing time.
2. I think MDA will eventually see the light and play Darko more for defensive purposes.
3. The same goes for kids like TD who I can somewhat understand if MDA doesn't fully trust him yet. Give it some time for that to develop.

I HATE losses like this! I just hope we can get a win before this losing streak extends and demoralizes this teams weak mental condition.

nothing to disagree with here. Our interior D still sucks.

Did I miss something? Why didn't Milicic play?

not exactly sure, but the Cats didn't have Tyson Chandler for most of the game cause he fouled out. And so it was Diaw and Wallace and Vlad Rad as the bigs for Charlotte and outside of Wallace, the other 2 guys would sit on the perimeter, and Wallace has too much speed for Darko.

Darko could have tweaked the knee too. And generally, the guys who played did get them back into the game, but it would have been nice to have Darko after timeouts for D near ends of quarters, OTs.

in that first OT, when jeffries glass slipper turned back into plastic and Al was pulling his crack head act, I was screaming for gallo to get back in the game... He was hitting shots and he also created a nice open shot for nate... he also spread the floor with the threat of the deep shot... why dantoni sat him for so long is mindboggling..

Also we are going to have to play hill. Tall and athletic, we need him inside.. 15 boards for gerald wallace is ridiculous..
