it was great not being blown out by the cavs on national tv for once crawford made my jaw drop a lot in the 2nd quarter, if he did that all 4 quarters on a consistent basis he'd be more than worth his contract. And I still say that contract we gave him wasn't that bad. 8 million a year for a 18-20ppg scorer + a good passer is not overpriced in this day and age.

I have seen the future, and Tractor Traylor is sweets. Traylor is like a dancing elephant! Thats a compliment. Watching those two looked like brothers. Or Traylor lookedl like his daddy!
Reezy played 20 min, Anfernee played 28. Anfernee played well, but I don't like him getting Reezys minutes! He did not play THAT well. But Rookies need the hook at times. That was an ugly game, and we do have Detroit tomorrow.
Craw did a cross over and drew three defenders on one shot. And he shot a fall away jumper from beyond the three point line. Way to look for the open man. Sometimes he really really looks stupid. Then he hits one of those dumb ass shots to make me look stupid when Im trying to tell my kid about taking dumb shots!
Diop? In respect to our poster whom wants to trade SKurt for him, Wangner (has he died yet?) and a Phantom no. 1 pick they don't own, I watched Diop the whole time and found really nothing good or bad. He looks big, and can run up and down the floor.
We won Ugly. I'll take it. Always nice to watch a game in HD!
Marbs I thought was trying to get everyone involved. He shot alright, got to the line a lot! We won. He was successful. Lets stop putting him under a microscope.
I liked the Shirt and tie Isiah wore. Funny when the Knick Dancers stand behind him. Im wondering what he is thinking when they are giggling and laughing.
And how cool is being able to say: AlexanDAR!

Hey...we got a win and ariza and sweetney and jyd were not big factors. Does this mean anything?
maybe you didnt watch the game but us finally winning had to do a lot with penny playing
Watched the entire game...just pointing out how it is possible for the knicks to win without starting sweets and reeza not providing a 20/10. Penny going down really killed us this month.
Nice to see he is back to the old penny (defense, veteran leadership)
OMG, I think Marbury has gone barmy.... he's just a shadow of his former self... he never seems to be able to score in the final few minutes of the game... PLEASE make me eat my words!
Playing in the olympics after leading the league in minutes per game will have that kind of effect.
Penny needs to play more and craw has to spell him at point...what we need is a blow out win.
all kool aid all the time.

As much as I hate always getting killed by Ilgauskus, I do admire his game. That is one skilled pivot man. You notice that when he posts up, once the entry pass is in the air to him, he backs up into his man AS he's catching the ball. This gets him closer to the basket and gets his defensive man off balance. If McInnis hadn't been so busy tossing bricks last night, they could have gone to Z at least 10 more times and beaten us by 10.

I honestly think that losing streak killed a chunk of me inside. During the game I was like emotionless. Down by 16 in the 2nd...just sat there. Got those big plays in the 4th...just sat there. The most I was able to do is say 'Defense' with the crowd in a monotone voice. I got to see a doctor or something.

I know what you mean Matt. Here's how i'm looking at it. At 16-13 I was looking at us as retooling. Good mix of vets and young players, 47-50 wins and 2nd round of the playoffs. Continue to retool the roster and keep moving up. The losing streak shifted me into rebuilding. Shed the vets and pick up more youth. I'm always rooting for the Knicks to win, but realistically the losses don't matter so much for this season, and the consolation is always that our draft pick gets better. But it was a tough and depressing period to endure the losses and let go of the team doing well this year. I really enjoyed being 16-13 and I wanted us to win now.

Know the feeling. This stretch has been too tough to watch. The losing streak has been too long. It feels like watching the team lead by a couple of points in the first quarter but then in the rest of the game being totally blown out. When you see them trying to come back but are unable to do it, you just can't get interested in the game again. Right now only a great comeback from the Knicks (having a 6 or 7 game winning streak to get back to .500) would get the feeling back. We were prepared for a winning season after making it to .500 for the first time in a while. The 3 games over that mark made me feel that this was really going to be the year we started becoming an elite team again. Right now its just an empty feeling. If they don't have a miracle soon, the wins or losses will not have a lot of meaning, other than a better pick...
