The Thunder were perfectly healthy and got every call and then some.

And the Knicks pulled it out. BIG WIN.

Are you trying to preempt criticism or something? No one criticized the Knicks for this game.

Not yet. Great win. Knicks get back to 50.

It feels like the 90's against.

SO where does this fit in to your prediction? But on the real it's a great day. No one should call out anyone. EVeryone should take the rest of the day and up their homerism.

Imagin if NYKMentality was still posting.

Release NYKMentality from prison please...We need some real Knick fans up in here!!!!!!

i dont think melo cares. he played a great game and we won thats all that matters

Ofcourse the W is the most important, but I'm still not over the refs' performance.
If they had their way and we lost this thread would have a very different tone, and even so people are pissed.

I agree but look at it this way we beat one of the best teams in the nba on their turf with the refs helping them. Im proud of the knicks

I'm esthatic and pissed off at the same time.
So proud of Melo, JR & The Knicks, but at the same time I just can't let that go. If this wasn't a regular occurence I wouldn't mind it that much but it's been going on the entire season, and the playoffs are coming soon, if that sort of bull**** continues throughout the playoffs I don't like our chances.

It's not that the Knicks aren't capable of winning, but if you have to play against the refs every game against a team that's that good it's tough to win a series, just ask the Kings.

Thanks for the back handed compliment..A compliment nonetheless...

Its not a backhanded comment. He gave felton props. I agree with dk7th felton seems to play better with prigioni. If felton keeps playing like this he will get praise but he has to keep it up

lets be crystal clear: hubie said that prigioni helps the offense with the facilitating, allowing felton to play within his limitations, which is clearly not orchestrating or facilitating. yes he had 8 assists but does he pass the eye test in terms of orchestrating? no not if we are being honest.

the pressure is off of felton's shoulders and he is delivering what he can on his terms or within his limitations. there is nothing wrong with that. it just means that the coach and the player recognize these limitations and put players beside him that will help im maximize his playing time effectively. it's important that he not be burdened with more responsibility than he can bear. i think his floor impact is at its pinnacle right now.

Terrific win though. We've beaten OKC, Miami, and SA all on their home courts this year. This team has a bad tendency to play down to their competition, but they are certainly capable of rising when playing the cream of the crop, which certainly has to be in our favor for the post season.

Melo was terrific, may not have broke 40, but I'll take the 36/12 on 50+% shooting. Fitting that JR was the one to hit that huge 3 at the end, after the wide open looks he was missing in the 2nd. (Kidd's 3 was still probably the biggest after OKC took the lead).

12 in a row!

No need to try and put Felton in your little box , Clyde said it multiple times how when he played there were no pg's just guards.
Meaning combo guards win Championships, remember Vinnie Johnson with Detroit, Joe Dumars. Come on man , you're better than that.

Felton does what he do , no need to pigeon hole him.
