NY took leads in the first and second overtimes. Phoenix down 3 starters and the other 2 with 5 fouls apiece came back both times and tied it.

We had the serious man advantage from about the 6 minute mark in the fourth qtr on and still couldn't win until Nash was literally on his last leg.

on the other hand the Knicks had 2 rookies play the last chunk of minutes and 3 rookies get lots of time.

Man, a win is a win no matter who the team or what their record is. And the claim about the starter being out is a crock - because Phoenix had to foul, ei play against the rules, just to keep UP with the Knicks, and in the end it did not prevail. Having players foul out is not an excuse as to why the other team fell into a win.

so once Diaw KT and Bell were done, you expected the game to go into 1 overtime let alone 3.


to a bad team "a win is a win"

haha, was about to post the same thing, but after what happened yesterday i figured it better if i didnt.

I don't get why certain people even bother posting on this forum or even watching the games. It sounds like all they want to do spin anything the Knicks do well into something bad. It's pretty hard to tell whether McK1 was even rooting for the Knicks against the Suns - my guess is that he wasn't. Which begs me to ask this question - Why are you on this forum?

and its very hard to fathom why guys are so accepting of the play not to lose mentality this team continues to show despite the talent on the team.

the fact these guys don't play to win is sickening. As old and un-athletic as Layden's teams were, at least they played hard.

its not about the record. I didn't and don't expect play-offs or even .500 ball.

Only thing I expected was improvement in Crawford and Nat which is happening.

My beef is with the overall attitude. Following the game last New Years NJ was 11-18 and we were 16-14 when Kidd made his I don't care about beating the Knicks they're just another bad team comment.

People on the sites got their panties in a bunch but Kidd's approach is right. Thats the mentality you want the face of your franchise to have.

T-Mac recently had a quotable about as long as he is in that uni the Rockets will not falter.

Remember Hassellback in last years play-offs. 8-8 Hawks on the road OT in Lambeau, he said we want the ball and the win. 3 plays later he threw the pick. This year they are 13-3 and the no. 1 team in the NFC.

NY players show no such pride about the win

thing is slim, I said what I said jokingly.

guys are worked up b/c this team isn't meeting their expectations.

thats why there are a million Larry Brown has lost it threads started nightly. Its not like Gibbs coming back after 11 years and re-adjusting. The man just went to back-to-back Finals the prior 2 seasons, yet he gets trashed on the internet sites.

Stephon v Larry Round One

There was a standing eight count preceeding after the Orlando game. Rumor and innuendo ruled the day. Roles and expectations were up for grabs as Marbury played with every perpetually shifting part on the roster. Turnovers happen as strangers get acquainted.

However, Marbury collected his ego and was revived in between rounds. He re-appeared in Milwaukee focused and determined. He landed several telling blows although the Knicks did not get the win.

LB and Marbs shook hands and came out fighting for a common cause.. Against Phoenix, Marbury dished and swished.

David Lee ran the floor. Eddy hit his clutch free throws and made friends with the paint. Jamal did his George Gervin thing. Nate was solid as a rock. Mo Taylor played rugged inside and is gradually earning his minutes with the starters. Qyntel appeared at just the right time for a rebound and pased the ball crisply.

Stephon and Larry even smiled at each other coming out of a huddle.

Now, go out there and make your free throws!

Do We Know Drama Or What?

I agree with you about the people who bash Larry Brown, I've been trying to calm everyone down becuase this isn't some idiot off the streets... this is Larry Brown, let him do his thing he's the most well-respected coach in the NBA. Just ask the other coaches and GMs.

I just think when people come on this forum and go out of their way to discredit the Knicks after a win against a good team just becuase they have an angle that they like to play on a forum - an angle of hating everything that goes on with the team and never saying a good thing about anyone or anything. Now thats annoying.

I agree.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I think MCK1 has a point, the knicks played poorly in the second half. and kind of in the overtimes as well, thats why I wasnt all that impressed with the win, its good that they won but it wasnt all that impressive, they need to get better if they're gonna salvage their season, I still think this team needs a pg. Althouh unlike mck1 I'm not going to go down to the league office and request that the win be turned into a loss.

baby steps. a win is a win and builds confidence
