Thank you Kurt Thomas, for sacrificing your body to set an example for the other players to follow.

You just may have changed things a bit.

I think this is worthy of its own thread. Kurt knew he was hurt and knew how badly the team needed that win. I think it could really serve as a monumental point in this season.

now we we got Bill Russell and the celtics in a discussion about sustained excellence?

Reasons to be cheerful are the games and the results. Reasons to cloud it are the pathetic state of the conference which is the backbone of the Heats streak. The auto logic is then if we are second seed we should make it to the ECF and that by itself would be grand!

It would. The games are what tells the story. Its a nice improbable w-l record considering the roster and how that translates to the future is anyone's guess. I like winning. Thats enough for me.

DJMUSIC: "Melo begs out of Game? Melo get knee injury, Woody GOT 0 pulse of his entire Nyk team"

Zero pulse of his entire team.

I cant see the stubborn dumb Woodson doing any of such to properly as_sses what needs he'd like NY org to seek.

Let the word dumb sink in a moment.

We're playing for something," coach Mike Woodson said. "We're trying to stay at the top of our division. Guys are committed. They've been committed all year. I don't see it going any other way."

Woodson's faith in the unpredictably combustible JR Smith is paying crazy dividends.

Holding a team together through the amount of roster turnover is a notable achievement.

Finish strong.

(30 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.)

"It’s crazy. Off the court it’s like father-son. On the court we bump heads sometimes. He cusses me out, I cuss him out and we just go from there," Smith said. "It’s fun. I love playing for him."

JR Smith is leading and attacking.

That is insane.

First prove you have even the faintest claim to excellence THEN talk about sustaining it.

loweyecue: the comparison was only used to certify 50 wins as a standard of excellence. Mike Woodson needs 6 more wins to get us there for the first time in a dozen years. Before 2000, our beloved Knicks have not had consecutive 50 win seasons since 1991-1994.

Nowhere were the 2013 Knicks put on the same pedestal with those Celtics or Lakers teams. Rather than rushing to judge, you may want to slow down as you read and allow your comprehension skills to breathe.

Can Mike Woodson get 50 wins and replicate that standard for three more years?
