Careful now, we might call you racist

Except this guy

That said, we were just flat tonight, can't make a habit of sleeping against the cellar dwelling teams...that's the old Knicks.

Amar'e missed several open jumpers. Chandler had an unusually dumb game. Seems like there were more than a few times tonight one of the two would have a rebound and just lose it.

Can't sugarcoat Lin's game tonight either, a rare bad outing. Forced a few too many shots, tacked on a few empty points at the end. Novak finally looked human on the perimeter tonight as well.

I expect to see Melo get criticized for losing immediately on return, but the only thing I really fault him for tonight is not being aggressive enough. Seemed like he was too worried about fitting in with the team and didn't look for his own number enough. Definitely rusty, missed a few layups, but tell me that first pick and pop between Lin and Melo didn't make you smile. He'll be ok.

Very glad to see Baron make his debut. Not too happy his first shot was an isolation 3.

At least both Boston and Milwaukee lost tonight.

Oh...and Kris Humphries is a punk. (Ok, so I'm only mostly numb.)

The officials had nothing to do with our loss tonight. We didn't box out out energy was low and we stopped moving the ball. Poor coaching anf bad matchups

Oh , they def had something to do with it. Not that you are wrong on the other points, I absolutely agree with you there

Deron as well. Deron was confident and determined. Despite his stat line, IMO Lin played with a bit less confidence and intimidated.

bottom line: if we had shump to put on deron in this game, we win it.

shumpert is one of the best defensive backcourt stoppers in the league and insanely valuable to this team. without him, we lose against toronto and minnesota this past week.

long live SHUMP

Fact of matter u guys miss is more than 1/2 of those going to hoop soft shots MELO took he will make
not tonite. At least he drives to basket.

Fact is Other than MELO only LIN has GUTs to want big shot for anytime in game
end of 3rd or 4th qtr when game is within reach

None of this you can state about Amare Stoudemire.
you can feed him a pass ..& it goes right through his stupid hands
when he catches one finally & tries to put it on floor its a TURNOVER in the making
since he's flatfooted and slower than molassess unless he's setup for a alley ooop or put back Dunk
which #1 Rarely does these days

Amare is just one of the other guys
