We are playing up to the Spurs' pace, therefore making it such a painful game. D'Antoni needs to find a way to establish his game. Any run the Knicks can make can blow this game open easily.

definitely, but this is where we lack a true engine for D'Antoni's offense and it shows. we need a guy who can force the pace when the other team tries to impose their own pace. someone like Nash or Mayo, etc.

Good move by Z-Bo. I approve whacking Duncan anytime you can get a chance.

I don't see the TO's being a problem here. It's almost half time and they only turned it over 7 times.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Even the officiating is terrible tonight! LOL!

I don't like the scrambling to double on Duncan last minute. Either come early and force him to give up the ball or stay at home and cover him 1 on 1. Even if he went for 40 tonight we should still win this ****ing game --- Duncan's got no help out there.

um, we might not get 40 as a team until halfway thru the 3rd quarter. you don't want to let Duncan get going without providing as much resistance as possible, especially when they have no one else.

No clue but he isn't right. At least he has a blocked shot.

The spurs have only 6' assists.

Duncan owns 4 of them!

D'Antoni style does not work well against the Spurs.

The Spurs suck, yeah, but they know it and they make the game adapt to them. They slow the pace, make the Knicks earn their points and try to stop them with some defense. Problem for them is that other than Duncan they have no offensive power.

The Knicks should come up with a better plan in the second half, get a streak going and hang in there.

You should say, the Spurs' style doesn't let the Knicks play D'Antoni's. Thats the game so far...

Thinking the same thing. Last time I remember him even touching the ball was when someone hit him with a nice pass and he was all alone 20' away baseline to either shot or drive and he kicked it back up top to Collins. WTF? Shoot or make a move there bro, Jesus Christ.... They gotta work to get this kid to be much much more aggressive. This game's wide open for you to take over Willie....

isn't Duncan guarding him? that makes going inside a little more dicey.

Chandler's M.I.A.!

Craw and maybe Q are going to have to pull us out with some threes.

I'm glad Lee's showing some life.

We're lucky Tony Parker is injured. He's the difference for the Spurs, but I'll take a win anyway we can.

imagine, people probably used to say this all the time when playing Riley and Van Gundy's Knicks.
