Amazing win--- though we should have had it in regulation-- apparently the Knicks wanted to treat the fans to an extra period or so. :)

The Knicks as a whole (players & coaches) made a number of mistakes late in the game that are correctable with more experience (clock management in the final 2 minutes, better boxing out/recognition of the prime rebounders of the other team, knowing when to foul intentionally or when to take away a jumper & force a drive, identifying their men on offense/defense switches).

It's also interesting comparing when Marbury is playing PG vs Crawford @ PG. The Knicks tend to be more stagnant w/ Marbury (they expect him to drive all the way to the hoop) vs Crawford (they expect him to look up for a moment and either pop the jumper to pass). A big difference is the their height/length. Crawford, by virtue of his size, gets better passing angles for his big men.

Very proud of the Knicks beyond the actual win. They have shown me a *refuse to lose* attitude-- i wish they didn't have that burp in philly--they were tired but even tired i want to beat the absolute crp of the crp.
beyond that they have shown tremendous heart talent and fight--all recipe's to be a big winner. i won't be able to post every day for a period with my left hand going through another bout of inflammation--i was out for about 5 weeks last spring--not as bad this time but I'm putting myself on ir for a bit:) but what I saw and have seen has mad eme proud --we are going in the right direction.
cheers

What a great game tonight! I wasn't around, ended up watching the game at the womans house. I like the attitude this team is showing right now, but I still have my doubts about this team, but I hope to god that they prove me wrong all the way, theres nothing more that I want then the Knicks to be a top team again, I don't care how it gets done, as long as it gets done.

I'll enjoy this ride while it lasts, it was a great win and there should be nothing taken away from that.

Great win, unfortunaitly I dont get to watch many games but I love seeing a winning Box score in the morning. (I Live overseas). I think the best thing that happened to the Knicks is Francis getting hurt. Not that I wish him injury but it put Craw in the starting line up and took the pressure off of IT to start Francis. Second best thing was the fight, nobody publicly said it but I hoped that it would bring us together. Question is: what does IT do when all the bodys come back? Nate, Marty and Q. the rotation looks good right now but Q has played good for us this year.

I'd like to see Q get Jeffries minutes. Q also plays good d, but he's a threat on offense too. Even Balkman does more for the team than JJ2. I liked the signing this summer, but with Q playing better than last season and with Balkman making good progress as a rookie, I think JJ2 should sit.

I dont know, I think JJ2 starting gives us someone who does not need to shoot to be effective. Q can give us some O off the bench and he plays good D.

Those Knicks were 151 Proof last night!

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Who else here liked the Frye celebration after hitting the game tying bucket to send the game into a 3rd OT? That was the NY Giant Defense Jumpshot!
