This game will come down to point gaurd play and the Raptors backcourt are going to have a field day. I smell a blowout honestly. "ALL THE PRESSURE IS OFF"

We need a perimeter defender in the worst way.

TJ Ford is good but he shouldn't be getting Stockton numbers.

Eddy misses Jamal.

We still don't have a head out there.
it wasn't tj ford - it's the pg tandem in toronto. tj + calderon usually get around 13+ assists between them. no calderon so tj picked up the slack.

our team doesn't have a pg.

I'm simply not that impressed with the Raptors. For one thing it appears to me that a team that plays solid D, will beat them easily. They rely so much on those set shots on the perimeter, but a good defensive team will take that away and force them to score from inside. The Knicks aren't that far off from them. I think if we have our full team we can beat them in a series. Steph again played great D and showed that he's not close to being done. The guy is playing is ARSE OFF!!! If he had just a little help right now, we'd be a LOCK to make the playoffs.

We can't survive forever with only Steph and Curry. Frye looked lost, which I just don't understand. If you're open just shoot the damn ball!!! Francis is a TO machine. He's got to be one of the dumbest players in the league. He kills our offense with his horrible decision making. We really need Lee back. Jamal may not be perfect, but you can see how much we actually need him.

I agree with the guy who said we can't rely on Q. He will still be a useful player when healthy, but that seems like he'll never be able to stay healthy for an entire season. I was already certain that Isiah was looking to replace him anyway, but this just cements the deal. This is why he was trying to get Rashard Lewis.

LOL @ not being impressed with the Raptors while continuing to apologize and be encouraged by perceived Knicks baby step improvements. Raptors are a poor mans PHX and are youu saying you aren't impressed with PHX? Because if a defensive team goes up against PHX they tend to struggle at times also. How long has this Raptor team been playing with each other? It's Bosh's first season playing with Ford, Garbajosa, Bargnani, Dixon, Anthony Parker, and Rasho yet they are 7 games over .500.

23-11 since jan 1st. if we went 23-11, how many parades would've been thrown around here already?

The Knicks aren't perfect, but once we add the players we need, I think we'll be a better team than the Raptors. We clearly don't have enough periemter shooting and we could use another real PG. I think Isiah should be looking for a 2 way swingman and a PG. From what I can see this team isn't that bad off when healthy. Not in comparison to the other teams in the East.

Toronto seems like a really nice regular season team, but I think they'll get pounded in the playoffs. What they do is easy to defend. They rely so much on drive and kick. They don't have much else. At times tonight we shut them down, but since we stink at getting out to perimeter shooters, they were able to get the best of us. Still even without Lee, Jamal and Q, we weren't totally out of it. We had a chance to win the game if not for Francis and his damn TO's.

Shame on the Raptors for being a "nice regular season team" in the first year they've had their whole team and management together. Wait till Colangelo makes some more moves, that team is going to be a top team in the NBA.

They're better than the Knicks, but I'm not sure they are going to the top.

They'll be above us so where are the Knicks headed?

he'll probably offer jared jeffries a 3-year, $60 million contract extension for the 2 points a night.
