We lost this game on the lack of FT's, not the refs either, Knicks just didn't do much driving to the hoop. If they would have had at least 20 FT's, they would have won by 7 to 10 points.

what about Duhon not shooting the three either? He actually stepped in front of the line after catching it.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

alright, it ain't the end of the world.

not the best execution.

hard to figure why harrington didn't shoot it when he first got it, but he was VERY deep.

look, we're a work in progress. tough loss, but we're short handed, and we played tough from what i saw. not pleased with some sequences, but we sure are short on talent out there, particularly for scoring.

Not the best execution? That was ridiculous. Damn even Malik laughed at Harrington. Damn.

That was bad already around. I didn't get Duhon either.

Yeah as soon as I noticed that I thought to myself, "It's over oh well." It really seemed like nobody actually wanted to shoot the last shot

Last time I pick them to win a game. They just care for some minutes, like they have ADD. The game was inconsistent overall. At times it really looked like we didn't care, like that freaking last possession where nobody wanted to take the last shot.

After this, F it, I don't wanna see this team win. Better tank. WTH, they are already tanking, TT was a no show, the same TT of old. The only bright spots were Jeffries and Chandler. The fact that Nate didn't re-injure was good too.

This was a very winnable game and we let the opportunity slip away. Will they at least win a game in december? Doesn't look promising.

Lottery, here we go. Yay!

Looks like Nates going to be for atleast one game, probably more though to get healed. Atleast we'll get to see alot more of Roberson Nice contribution tonight with the big zero percent shooting percentage.

Can't play around with a groin injury. You gotta come back 100% b/c it can easily be aggravated and be worse.

Only reason why we lost this game--we take too many 3 point shots--were taking way to many and Atlanta was able to break out on long rebounds for easy points too much from the multiple missed shots--Dantoni--if you want the team to play harder--cut down on the team's green light from 3. Take it to the basket--go inside take 13 footers instead of 23.

duhon is a genius. Alley-oop to a guy who just came back from a broken leg.

That alley-oop was intended for Chandler but Jeffries broke it up.

Jefferies is a defensive monster.

The game was there for the taking..... in the THIRD quarter. I guess you could say it for both teams as neither team seemed willing to execute their way to a 7 or 9 point lead.

Q...my god, Q... hit a SHOT... One, just ONE, early on and we're in better shape.

Roberson? Chuckerson? Pile of dog ****? Yeah, lovely... he comes in? 10 point deficit as he reminds us what Crawful looks like. No Chuckerson? Maybe that's our key to the win. Yep, it was that bad.

Duhon, eh, he ran two plays that he screwed up multiple times. One was the drive real deep and wrap it around to Lee close in for a layup - unfortunately it worked twice and failed miserably oh what four times? The other was a fake drive and pull out which led to his (I'm assuming tired back) giving out which led to him dribbling into his own shins which led to at least 2 turnovers if not 3.

There's your game, Gents! That simple. That's the NBA for ya.

All in all they fought real hard. When they gave up Mike got on them and they RESPONDED and fought hard yet again.

Why oh why did Harrington not shoot that immediate three at the end? Or Duhon when he got the surprise kickout? I don't know. Can't say either shot goes in though so be it. Game was "lost" earlier.

I liked the effort, I liked the game, can't ask for anything else.

Shame to see Nate and Jeffries come back, make a huge difference, only to go back (most likely) on an extended IR each. Oh well...what can ya do. At least it shows what I was preaching in my other thread: We get more bodies back we're much more competitive.

Ah well... On to Sunday's SLAUGHTER.

Can we please buy out Roberson and pick a player from the D-League? There are a few players that could be keepers in the NBA and yet we have to see Roberson miss those jumpers. Ughh

Right now he is # 7 so its reason to be alarmed. We have to count on him for meaningful minutes! Ughh, as I said, there is more potential in the D-LEague and I'd rather see one of them than Roberson.
