yeah, i don't think it's an inexcusable loss at all. knicks played hard, didn't necessarily play well. but they competed and fought hard.
need to work on the rebounding against elite teams. amar'e coming back could help that. and amar'e being a second scorer could REALLY help balance out the lineup.
i hope amar'e can get well this season, but he shouldn't rush back if it's gonna screw up his career.
knicks really miss Lin, too.
landry has GOT to step up or ride the bench.
JR and Shump are defensive demons. JR played great, shump looked hesitant on offense.
tyson needs to get involved more - teams can't stop him inside and they'll use up all their fouls trying to stop him.
melo is playing out of his mind, really rising to the occassion, but clearly ran out of gas at the end there.
knicks played hard, good game, hate the heat.
