wow,good win for the knicks.KvH blew out atl. in the 4th with 11pts. and 9 str8. and a nice dish to Dice for the exclaimation dunk.Dice looked strong on booth ends.Also when he went up for that breakaway one handed slam but spazed the roc 20 feet up in the air.lol.Houston did his thing n Williams.Thomas of the bench wit the spark they needed.Good Win.

nah,he needs a good win streak to quiet it down some.

Gony there you go... If they beat a good team like sac-town it's becuz sac-town didn't get up for the knicks, if they lose to Atlanta it's because they aren't being coached properly. If they go to OT against Toronto and lose is it because they aren't being coached properly again. Do the players take any blame for getting offensive fouls called on them by attempting to set a pick at crunch time? What about when opposing team picks somebody on the knicks pocket at crunch time is that coaching too? Now when they beat Atlanta does it not mean anything positive to you?

Summary of last night:


Suddenly, Keith Van Horn was electrifying Madison Square Garden by burying 3-pointers in a personal 11-0 run during the fourth quarter that widened the Knicks' lead to double digits. The backup point guard Frank Williams was dishing seven assists after Chaney brought him off the bench early in the third quarter, helping ignite a 17-2 run to overcome a 7-point deficit.

And Antonio McDyess was catapulting into the air for 10 rebounds and a Knicks-high 19 points, playing with purpose. "For us, for him, especially for him," McDyess said of Chaney.

"I know he had been getting a lot of heat," McDyess said. "Actually, it's really not his fault. Don put everything there for us, step by step. Some of the times we just don't do it. For us tonight, we knew we needed to get this win."

agree this game means nothing. minny will defeat the knicks on tues. kvh had one of the 4 or 5 good games he will have this season. don chaney will be fired. the players want him to be fired because they are tired of losing.

the death spiral continues.

i'll eat my words after they win a couple in a row

Posted by playa2:

You should go on a diet by now, when we put minny to slepp and put the hammer down again on MEWELL, cuz he sucked last ttime we beat them.

knicks need a consistent floor leader /point man than they need a new coach.if frank williams can bring it more than not,then everyone will play better.i agree w/chaney.williams has to prove himself.remember this is the same guy who was outstanding his junior year @illini and disappeared his senior yr.he also came in overweight his rookie year.maybe he is the type that has to be challenged and pushed.he looks good though.mcdyss is coming around nicely and he also adds a little leadership.we got a ways to go .but i like what i'm seeeing .scrappiness,hunger and a little discord.good signs.lets go knicks!!!

The problem with this team has been consistency all season, and for the past 2 years really. They have an amazing game (pick any of our wins of Sactown) and then they follow it up with a dreadful loss to the Cavs or something like that. Granted our players have been sub par at best last year, this season there is really no excuses. Last year the big lament was that we had no center, like it mattered in the East. But this year we have 3 really, aside from the big guy we signed after the Nets waived him for nor apparent reason we have Doleac having a great year and Thomas can play some good center. With a healthy Dyes we have a very deep, strong, and tall frontcourt. A team with a deep frontcourt should never be inconsistent, period. Anyways the point I'm trying to make here is that it comes down to motivation and preparedness, two things that coaching is supposed to provide. The lack of consistency, especially when everyone is healthy, is on Chaney and Chaney alone. He has proven once and again that he is not well prepared for games, he is not a good crisis manager, he cannot adjust midgame, and most importantly, he gets out coached at the end of games. Just think of how many close games we have lost, with guys like Houston and Thomas and Ward who have been there this amount of choking is solely on Chaney. As for the whole Atlanta game, it means nothing, but some guys are going overboard by demanding a 6 game winning streak, realistically a 3 game winning streak would mean a lot, then you could say there is some progress.
