nice win.

Curry with 28/11 made the big aristotle proud I am sure. Great game.

marbury took over the 4th with a hell of a game on both ends, great defense on kopono on one posession up by 1.

Crawford with some big shots.

Professional efforts turned in by malik and jared on defense. Kudos.

Nice win.

guards shot the ball well, curry did well, rebounded and scored.

Nice win.

lets do it again...

now i'm a very critical fan...so what i saw tonight was slightly different. i knew the knicks were going to win this game b/c the heat were on a 2nd night of a back to back and even tho we were also, we're much younger so our legs can outlast theirs. plus, they're just not that good a team without wade. (and yes, cleveland does suck for losing to them yesterday). eddy played well but the one thing i walked out of this game was seeing how we really need a new backcourt.

what dj? are you mad? marbury took over the game to win and crawford hit big shots again. wtf were you watching?

i was watching our guards make poor decisions all night long. they made so many bad passes, it was quite flabbergasting. they had only 4 turnovers between them, but they kept passing the ball to the wrong person at the wrong time. they just don't understand the situation the game is in. there were at least 4-5 times where they gave the ball to malik or jeffries or balkman or frye (at the 3) or nate (underneath the basket) with the clock winding down. just poor decisions. these passes don't show up in the box score as a turnover but it might as well be one b/c the shot was going to be missed. they are best when they shoot and go for theirs. unfortunately, that's not what this team needs. well...i should clarify that, that's exactly what THIS team, the 06/07 version, needs b/c our bigs aren't quite developed yet. but it's not what this team needs for the long term.

anybody else notice this tonight?

I notice that all the time. We've talked about this recnetly. Our opponents gameplan to force the ball into the hands of Malik or Balkman or Jeffries so that these guys are the ones taking shots or making decisions at the end of possessions. Our guards are not figuring out how to combat that. Remember when we played the Nets in the playoffs? It seemed like every possession ended with a Shandon Anderson 3pt shot in the corner. That was not a coincidence. That was the Nets gameplan. Our guards have problems putting their teammates in positions to succeed.

the game was entertaining tho...

Happy birthday!

knicks won on my birthday..thats a first! thanks guys
