David Lee is a disgrace to defense.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

first of all Congrats to larry brown.. He has that team playing well and buying into the way he wants them to play.. to bad we had an idiot GM and owner who railroaded this guy..

next: he had his team playing with poise and playing hard.... the knicks had gallo who was hot his last game, and the kid is shooting a ridiculoust 46% from anywhere on the floor, inside and behind the arc... He gets 4 shots tonight.. chandler who was shooting well got 9 shots... the bobcats reconized their strengths. diaw shot 9-15, felton 8-13, bell 7-12, okafor 6-12, wallace 7-13, all of their starters shot 50% or better and they distributed the shots well.. while our hot rookie got 4 shots, our staring forward wilson chandler got just 9 shots and our two bench gunners. Nate and Q got 15 and 12 shots.. shooting a combined 8-27... LOL.. MY lord.. getting a L with that kind of play is inevitable...

Yeah I thought this was the other big problem in last night's game (aside from Lee's awful defense). Whether it was because Nate came back or whatever, Gallo didn't get enough touches.

I don't think D'Antoni should play Gallo and Nate on the floor at the same time because by doing that you take away Gallo's biggest strength and make him a liability on the defensive end. At least when Nate is not on the floor and Gallo is playing, he will justify his playing time with excellent offensive play and will overall, be a positive on the court.

The rooster is one of the best shooters in the league and is playing in a system that is absolutely perfect for him. Even if he only plays around 22 mpg for the rest of the season, we should be getting him around 12-13 ppg. He is too good offensively to just ignore.

Bad teams lose more than they win. And the Knicks are bad.

ur right there... but the Knicks are a more talented team than Charlotte if u ask me... they shoulda won this game, especially playing at home vs. a team coming off a back to back when the Knicks were fully rested & both teams trying desperately to fight for that last playoff spot... just an inexcusable loss... even i thought they'd win this game by a comfortable margin & i've already written the Knicks out of the playoff race a long time ago.

ouch. i’ve been out of town without internet for a week and a half and i come back to what looks like a pretty bad week in knicksland. thank god atlanta can never ever handle us. please everyone stop with the joe johnson business unless you're planning on him being the #3 option on your team.

and my man dwade toasted us in the 4th? whoa. i got mixed feelings on that one

larry h found his shot?

the christmas donkey got off for a good one? and now it's generally accepted that his back is still f'd up?

what's with wilcox? no minutes? no production? no game?

winston chambers back to the yo=yo production? nate the great hurt? dlee can’t get his double-double on?

and we're not going to the hornets game???

f me. and the horse i rode in on.

It would be nice if we set some picks to free up some of our jumpshooters when they are shooting well. The problem I have with the MDA system is that it seems set up for the 3's at the expense of any sort of midrange game. Why not free up Nate, Gallinari, Harrington for some midrange shots where they are coming off a screen? There are certain times when I would like to see us take higher percentage shots than a 3.

there is no problem shooting threes, but you want the good shooters doing that,especially if they are wide open.. the problem with this team is that we have too many guys who need the ball in their hands.. Not enough ball movers and guys who do the little things.. I saw gallo move the ball to an open nate for an eas three.. guys like nate and harrington only pass as a last resort... that is not good.
