This is the worst part of being a D'Antoni team:

Philadelphia shooting 60% from the field. Thats just unacceptable, yet predictable from this team...

Knicks got to make a run. I got them losing by 10+ not 20+. Now Mike'D has to get on his team to firm up the Defe... oh wait forget about it.

I think D'A is trying to hard to look for that perfect moment/perfect team to give Gallo a run and I think he's thinking too hard with that...Just put the kid in. Got get rolling with Gallo here someday...

If we're going to come back it will be from our transition game and from our guards. We're shooting what 36%? This system can easily turn out a single quarter of 68%. Doubt it's in the cards for tonight, but, just saying. It's something we'll see from time to time.

It was a perfect game for the Knicks until the last 6 minutes. This game looks more realistic, with many shots not falling and our interior defense being exposed. Still, since we are running such a quick and offensively-minded system, we are a run away from making it a game. So, most of the games will be entertaining.

We will suffer, but mostly get entertained...

that woulda been predictable if we had Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, JVG, Gregg Popovich, Jerry Sloan or any other guy coaching this team... we have like 3 defensive minded players on this roster & only 1 of them is a starter... Q can be a good defender at times but more often than not his man blows by him just like every other player on this roster... would be nice to have a shotblocker who can help to make up for that ease of penetration but oh well...

They'll be able to beat mediocre to terrible teams for the most part. I think at home they'll be undefeated against teams under .500 by the end of the year. 2 teams coming up next will probably have us at 3-1. Bucks are mediocre and Bobcats just suck and can't score.

Let me reiterate this.

They will most likely be as terrible on the road as they were last year.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

This confirms what I heard that D'Antoni didn't want to play Gallinari Wednesday but Walsh put in a request for him to get some time for the Home Opener. D'Antoni really wants that kid to go to the NBADL.

A couple days ago, I already said they would lose the next game, but still put up good stats. Don't worry folks. They'll make a run at it and fall short tonight.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Thats when the defense comes in. Since we play no defense, we may get a 40 point quarter and allow them 50. Thats the story of this game. We make a 7 pt. run and let them answer back with an 8 pt. run.

No wins come out of that...

Really pissed off there been no Gallinari here. Isiah's the guy who drafted kids then never plays then until the last couple of weeks of a season when it's already long over for us (Mardy 2 seasons ago, Chandler last year). No waiting anymore, D'A can't be like that. You removed Steph here (np by me) to play the kids, SO PLAY ALL THE KIDS!

It's gonna look a little rough early with Gallo, but he's gotta get in there...

We close the quarters in horrible fashion. Two minutes left, lead down to 14 and we let them get another run to make it a 21 pt. lead. Can't expect to get close ending the quarters like that...
