Harden last to games are 8-24 and 5-15. I am sure it will balance out but its hard being the number one guy.

Especially when no one else on the team can score.

I didn't see last night's game but I know that Harden and Lin has to work really hard to get their shots off...Over a 82 game season it's going to be tough on them...The need to find a way to get easy baskets...

I always thought the Knicks were going to be good. They got one of the best players in the league in Carmelo and a good supporting cast and Jason Kidd runs the point. So they've got a very good basketball team. The Knicks are going to be a team to beat in this division. I don't think it's just Boston. It's Boston and New York and if we want to win the division, we've got to get past those two.

At this point, I don't think we've got a 'decisive advantage' because we're not clicking yet. But I do feel with Joe and Deron ... and Avery talked about this, Joe, Deron and Brook are taking the most shots because they are the most gifted offensive players we have and then get other guys doing their rolls. I think that's why New York has been doing so well, because they understand who they need to ride offensively and who to get the ball to. Those guys are doing their jobs very well.

Oh wait, its a compliment!

I guess they got some growing pains to work thru.

"Hello adversity"!

They got 79 more games to figure it out. Its a long season.

Watched the game. The problem with the team is McHale. He needs to run the offense through Lin. When Lin initiated the offense, he found open people for easy shots.....but...Parsons, Delfino, Morris, Asik missed open shots. They need to run more PnR with Asik/Smith/Patterson and Lin. Lin was horrible shooting 3's

This is what comes with the territory unfortunately. If his shooting continues people will not look at his teammates they will look at Lin unfortunately. I hope Parsons does better because he has tools to be a good role player. Like you said it will be interesting to see if LIn can play off of another ball dominate player or if he is only supremely effective as the primary initiator. It's very early on so its not really a big issue.

If this continues, you can bet Kobe will fire his ass...

Kobe had a big hand in the installation of a system offense like Princeton.

This is on him as much on the coach. How far it goes if they don't respond is anyones guess.

The take form Dwight and Kobe is if they show frustration and anger, the rest of the team will follow.

They had big buy in on the system offense. Ditch it? Tune in!
