The Knicks did well against a playoff Wizard team with strong depth.
I give O'Quinn big props for showing Lopez n KP how to dominate Gortat, Nene, Humphrie, and Gooden.
Rookie Grant did well his first time going against the East best tandem guards Wall & Beal.
Galloway performance was much more than a second season player, Gallo was our FINISHER!
Sasha hustling n trappin defense was a big help for young guards Grant/Gallo to prevent Wall, Beal, and Porter from having one of their 30 pt nights.
Lance Thomas and Afflalo are still subject, more Afflalo than Thomas.
Calderon performed ok.
Melo got a $124M contract he suppose to perform like that every other game.
This was Melo best stat as a Knick
calderon performed ok? he was horrible.
sasha was horrible.
Grant did not play well ... expected
The knicks won because Melo went crazy.
Figure that you are not a Sasha fan, but for what its worth, although he shot bad, he had 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and only 1 turnover...with a +6 for when he was on the court.
I don't think he's been a bad defender and he's been a high energy guy in general.
Do I want him shooting better, yup...but he has not been horrible, IMO.
