OK. Good defense by Toronto. I want to see what kind of adjustments MDA will make. I think Lin just have to trust his left hand. He gets in there but stops before taking off.

I agree but Fields has to cut down on the happy feet. Forcing things a bit.

yeah, he may be wanting to hook his new friend up...but he seems to be making his flow to the basket moves, which is better than being mostly a spot up shooter...

can i say that i think that's part of why we moved billups? (not his game)...

ESPN leads te hype machine. How can Lin be the lead story EVERY night?

Best Snapshot: Lin seated close to Carmelo and talking it over during the second quarter.

Could be. Turned out for the best for the Knicks... for a change.

Its been pretty bad, its "all Lin all the time" on ESPN. Love Lin and the positive hype about the Knicks but its been way over the top.

Not Amare's fault why were are down. Yes, he's struggling, but so is Lin. Give the rapts credit, they are trapping off the pick and roll and trying to force Lin left which is a weakness right now. They have forced Lin into some timely turnovers for them. We turned the ball over 11 times in the first half. Rapts have 21 points off of turnovers. Look no further than that.

Lina dn MDa need to make an adjustment to the double teaming. We need to get Novak some more minutes and have him camp out on the weak side with Amare. Swing the ball away from the double and Novak should be open on the wing. Stat can cut backdoor when Novak receives and the rapts will have to pick thier poison....

Have you seen JR Smith play?? he is a volume shooter who will get hot every 1 of 3 games. I'll take Shump over JR just on defense alone. Watch the jump Shump makes next season after an offseason of work.

This is definately the Raptors forcing the Knicks into turnovers. They need to start a high PnR with Lin and Tyson near the top of the key. This should give Lin some space to make the right decision.

Lin got STAT a couple of open looks and Amare just did not convert. It has to be tough for Amare. I don't know how Amare is doing this right now. I would be a mess.

Great point. This will be a gradual thing for Amar'e to maintain his focus.

Cut the turnovers and we are good

Just started watching the second half, therte seems to be too much focus on feeding Amare. We need to focus on winmning, Amare will have to work himself in.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

This is all clearly Carmelo's fault.
Surely you can't be serious. I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
