Don't give me this regardless of the outcome crap. Moral victories don't count.

What do they learn from this? That its ok to sleepwalk during the first 40 minutes?

You're trash Nate for showing emotion (ala Starks and Spree) and now say theres no such thing as a moral victory.. Argggg come on dude!

Nonsense, now these guys know they can hang with the big boys and sometimes that stuff carries over.

And if Nate gets a technical for showboating in the middle of this comeback? How great would that have been?

Even the very worst teams in the NBA has games against the best teams where they play them close. They mean nothing.

Such a typical response.. I bet you bashed guys like Allan Houston, for not being uber emotional. Then bash Nate for being the opposite, pick a side man. Guys like Nate wear it on their sleeves, get used to it!

We heard before the game that Popovich would bury us to avenge Larry.

Fuck that. It didn't happen.

Popovich is smart enough to know that they don't get anything out of putting the pedal to the metal the entire game.

If the Spurs didn't lose interest after getting back up 15 there wouldn't have been a comeback.

The Spurs still almost lost the game.

The Knicks played harder for Isiah than they ever did for Larry.

Because I'm a realist. The Spurs are much, much better than the Knicks.

I'm a realist as well, the Knicks had a nice run. Good to see. Do you think this is going to catapault them into 20 game winning streak with they've played so far this season aside from half of the 4th quarter today?

This team needs to realize if they play with passion they can win games.

how long have we said that about marbury, curry, craw? I'm sick of it.

What a surprise, Isiah surrounds Steph with a couple of role players (Balkman, Malik) and Steph thrives as the focal point of the offense.

Thats his game people. Nothing we didn't know already. You can't put 5 scorers on the floor though and except Marbury to be efficient if he isn't going to score.

Yeah, but with all role players, he ends complaining that they don't hit shots and he can't wrack up his assist totals

I'm not saying that 4 role players around him is his game. But a couple of role players like Balkman and Malik were on the floor and it helped a ton. The defense was better and it allowed Steph to play his game.

It can be a springboard to being a team that wins 40%-45% of their games. That's their ceiling.

realistically, did you expect the Knicks to win tonite? What did you expect the score to be?

meanwhile, I think I'd like another look at Mardy (8 points) Collins

I think Steph, throughout his career, has had more than enough opportunities to play with myriad types of lineups, all types, and what's come of it? Nothing but losing.

Curry played hard. I can't defend the other two.

Nice, I picked the game correctly on gamepicker.

please. the comeback had very little to do with the spurs, because they assumed the Knicks would coast for the final quarter the way they coasted for the first three. a comeback when the other team isn't looking barely counts. they're still beating us by double digits.
