And any reference to record last year- its history. This year is a different beast.

Jason Kidd must have made a huge difference to the chemistry.

I agree that this might have implications with our seeding, you never know. I'd trade a higher seed in exchange for having a lot less players out hurt when the playoffs come around. Hope Woodson learned from all the minutes he gave Kidd early on last year to fill a void. Can't rely too much on some of the older players who have been breaking down.

Please, you know damn well we're panic trading Shumpert for Rudy Gay.

Have you got any other players you could trade to us that are as good as Bargs?

I personally expect us to run the offense more freely now with a superfast lineup.

I mean I was Woody... that's what I'd do. But who knows how blockheaded our coach is.
Game 1, we looked good
Game 2, we were getting beat and we still almost came back
Game 3, we were playing a 3-0 team and we started playing too late
Game 4, steep drop from Games 1 through 3 against a team missing their best player in al jefferson.

It's not like we are really stopping people... look at opposing field goal percentages and scores. So we might as well try to become like D'Antoni's Suns. Let's see if Woody can adjust, otherwise he's gone after another 5 games.

The knicks never tell the truth.

And I will never understand why- what is the point in saying a player has a sore foot and will be out a week when you know it's broken and they may never return? What do they think is going to happen once the week is up- we're going to forget about the missing player?!? I just don't get the mentality.

On offense, I expect more shots from the perimeter obviously. Chandler was available for the 1st quarter, which is when the lowly Bobcats put up 30 plus points. So let's be clear that he's not that great on man-on-man defense. He's great on help defense and KMart is decent there too.

Knicks were 11-1 without him last year with the Felton/Prigs back court and KMart starting. They can survive this. But Woodson needs to wake the **** up.

We shall see.
Tyson was struggling then and K-Mart played some of the best ball of his life.

No kmart played like a normal former #1 pick in his late 30's. We as knick fans were deprived for years of bad defense and he just showed us it doesn't take much to impact a game if you give effort and energy.

if they have that lineup, then they have to run and melo will have to rebound more. more wear and tear on him. the next month will be rough.

I agree. Melo can't play as many minutes as he has been.
