Both didn't play well at all first half.........

Yet turned it up and won this game for us!!

The Nate trade is looking like a very decent deal.

I thought everyone played with a lot of energy.

Douglas is definitely not afraid to step up on offense during crunch time.

Gallo was a bit too happy with the 3 for me- good things happen when he drives, and he should be doing it more. His 3rd quarter duel with Anthony was exciting, though- good to see him step up to a challenge.

A nice win.

Best game from Al I have seen in a while. He was defending and digging in on those boards.

Lee didn't shoot well but still battled his way to 12/16

GAllo went after it with melo.. gotta love it.. 17 third quarter points. How can anyone complain about that? really didn't back down and finished with another strong game.

TD: came on strong in the 4th.. 9 points and a big hoop.. kid has big time heart. he is a fighter..

good win..

Gallo vs Melo. So so pretty.

I agree.. when was the last time a knick player just went at a big time star... and not just letting them shyt on you in your house... that third quarter saved the game...

a lot of fun...

lee even blocked a shot...i was saying to my friend, "lee with a block! must be his second of the season!" he was cracking up...

gallo looked like a real player tonight...against melo at that one point for a few minutes was like a classic superstar showdown...fans were eating it up...going oooo and ahhhh...but melo chilled out...we thought saving it for later...or thinking i have to consider the team, not just showdowns...

galo was then benched for a bit to start the 4th after his big 3rd quarter...thought maybe he was being saved for late...

missed some jumpers, taking a lot of 3s, some forced, some because denver played good d, and the knicks also didn't do the best job of setting up the offense (douglas for all i like him is partially to blame), and we had like 2 seconds on the shot clock...but then gallo started taking it to the rack and drew some fouls going to the line...

i thought he did a good job on defense guarding melo as well...melo was just sick in the first half...looking unstoppable...

douglas made some mistakes, but mda stuck with him in the 2nd half...don't think duhon played in the 2nd at all...and stepped up late...

hit a huge shot late in the game, and was pretty good at getting guys involved and being a defensive pest...

will say billups is an even bigger player (not surprisingly) and douglas struggled guarding him one on one. billups isn't super fast, but quick, deceptive, smart, and strong as hell.

jr smith killed denver tonight with the missed 3's. seems like he hit, maybe 2-9 or something.

melo was trying to be unselfish, but his team mates didn't step up.

walker did well, especially on D, other than fouling out early, and giddens looked pretty decent...had one really nice move to the basket.

good game for the young players' development...

notice mda kept or put in mostly young players he sees for the team down the road, or who need to get some burn so they can get a look at them, in the 2nd half.

harrington played, and he did pretty well, especially in the 2nd...

overall a pretty damn good game for the team. the garden was pumping...with magic johnson in the audience.

If no one here saw it, did it really happen?

i saw it..lol...i was saying to my friend, "lee with a block! must be his second of the season!" he was cracking up...

i can't believe it but i just saw D Lee draw a charge in the paint too... there may be hope for this guy afterall.
