Q giving us nothing (typical) and Nate not having much of an impact so far. That plus the stupid turnovers and some missed FTs. That's the game in an nutshell so far.

I'd really go with Gallo a little in the 2nd half. First off this game isn't being played at that quick a pace. It's not a walk it up pace, but it's hardly west coast basketball out there today. I though the Wash. game the other night was played at a quicker pace. So Gallo should be OK. Plus, his height could make a difference and besides Boozer they're really not that physical. Let him come in for some mins. at the 5. He can guard Okur - I think he'd do a nice job on him. It'd give us a nice option on the floor on the offensive end - Utah's defense isn't lights out, we're getting plenty of open looks, especially on the perimeter. Craw's gonna need help scoring the ball out there. Tell you what, he comes in a hits a couple of shots, it would energize this dead Sunday crowd. Put the kid in there!!!

He can't be worst than watching Duhon trying to guard Boozer in the post. That was painful.

Knicks playing good ball at the end of the third, but can they build a cushion?

Craw with a big 3 puts the Knicks up by 7!

IMO, this is the best game I seen Crawford play under D'Antoni, he is playing under control and still playing in the system. Taking over when the offense goes flat and passing when he gets the double.

Very poor overall execution out there by Utah today w/o Deron Williams... They really missed him. Oh, well. Sucks for them. They're handing us this game on a silver platter. All we need to do is step up and take it..

He actually looks extremely comfortable in this offense now.

If the Knicks end up taking this game, I think it's a very good sign. They've played horrible and stayed in the game - I think you can attribute it to D'Antoni's coaching.

Knicks playing great ball right now. Intensity on D, finding the open man on O. I like!

The Knicks have some good fortune in facing the Jazz without Deron Williams and the Spurs coming up without Parker. Then we have Memphis and OKC, both of whom are beatable. We've been on the wrong end of the luck and schedule game in the past few years so I hope we take advantage of these opportunities.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Why doesn't Sloan have Okur post up Chandler? Because playing Okur on the perimeter hasn't yield them much.
