I am not sure why the Knicks cannot play like this more often. Coaching? Leadership? Maybe they need something to rally around to get them going?

Early in the season, there were tremendous expectations for the year and the team wanted to show they could play well despite the injuries. Perhaps that fueled them. Maybe Amar'e and Melo being out is fueling them tonight.

What helped him out of his slump tonite IMO was that first shot off the dribble, it gave him confidence in his shot, later when he started missing he went in for a layup and then drained the next one. He has to keep mixing things up. He'll always be a 3 point shooter first but that doesn't mean that's all he should do. It also makes it tougher on the defense and gives him a little breathing room now and then.

I agree! That style wears on teams and in the end you just can't defend the entire floor every game.

I think he is making his case to play. I think Amare's success lessened the need and minutes for Cope.

Great game, team has been resilient the last half dozen games. Playing well without Melo or both Stat and Melo, coming back from deficits. This is what we need to see for the rest of the season, this is what we'll need in the playoffs.

One of those feel good wins. One that I think everyone needed.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

I would not put it this way but I tend to agree with you. We know they are great scorers but they tend to take the flow away from the offense.

The trick is not to force it and just play TEAM BALL! That's what this team did to start the year but then they got lazy and into ISO ball and the ball stuck and movement stopped.

I love when guys step up when the stars are out. Oak used to have epic games when Pat was out.

It also proves that when they hustle on D and play as a team they can play above expectations without the 2 top paid players.

Also Glen did good finally getting KMart. White finally contributed and all the role players showed they can execute.

Agree about KMart. I liked Brewer but getting a guy like KMart for nothing and getting a 2nd and an exception for Brewer was brilliant.
