IMO this is the best Larkin has looked since summer league. I think he's been working hard on D but we have to remember his size too. Those picks are rough on smaller PG's.

Seeing some nice ball movement now. A lot less thinking-- guys are reacting and playing ball.

See right there --- exactly Clyde -- why is Larkin looking to give the ball up like a hot potato all the time? keep the ball young man. You're the QB out there

They're much better than they were at the start of preseason but still have more to go.

Good close to the half.

Dalembert is a better shot blocker than Tyson IMO.

So many careless turnovers but I like what I see---an infinitely more aggressive Larkin, good rim protection by Sammy, Jason knocking down open looks, Timmy finishing on the break...

This team has to use those mindfulness classes more cuz the TO's are just mindless passes.

I thought shump looked good when he was in there too. Jumper looked good and he was making good quick decisions on the high screen and rolls with STAT.

Larkin looked impressive (on offense)

Dalembert had defensive moments

Amare was consistently stupid

Shump looked great

Melo played ugly selfish basketball that won't help him when his shot is off - CREATE TO PASS PLEASE

Like Cole on the floor

THJ ... eh

Knicks defense was pretty awful but tightened up towards the end of the half

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Larkin and Hardaway did the same thing- looking to hard to get the ball to Anthony- and in both cases you ended with a turnover.

Always a problem when youngsters play with a scorer like Anthony- they feel the urge to defer. Sometimes they play better and more naturally without the star on the floor.

I expect that this goes on all over the league at times.

Hopefully Fisher has a good talk with Larkin.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

He must have because Larkin closed the half pretty nicely but I agree. I hate the deferring to "the alpha dog"

Did anyone read the article on Kobe Bryant by ESPN?

The article was such a powerful exposing piece of the douchebag that is Kobe

There is going to be some ugly looking turnovers as players get used to teammates cutting back door.

Also, Dalembert has looked very good protecting the rim and doing everything else. If he can continue play in the defensive system and not roam like he sometimes does he is going to be a pretty good player.

The things that Sam does is the same things Cole does and why I think he should be the back up center

I like how it doesn't look like Fish has settled on his lineup yet. There's a lot of different combos that could work and I don't think we've seen them all yet. Like Shump working well with STAT on the high P&R--haven't seen much of that so far. They've been on different units for the most part

Cole has far more offensive promise

Sam look like a clog on offense a lot of the time.
