No need to title this keys to the loss, because we know why we lost. Lackluster defense, and turnovers...

here are some observations:

Lee, curry and Frye were good, at one time cury and frye were just throwing Bosh's shots all over the place. Curry had 17/5/5 that is five blocks, again, curry seems to have taken the criticism to heart and showed the effort. Frye made a couple of nice post moves on bosh and blocked two of his shots, he still needs to take that jumper, he seemed hesitant..

Our backcourt is horrendous. When we lost Q that hurt, he kept us in the game and I would of loved to have him in the second half, but when you can't outplay a backcourt of James and Peterson, you have problems, this is no knock on those two, but to be a good team, you must beat the lower end backcourts in this league!! Craw was horrible, I hate to beat on the guy but man... A key point in the game, down 11 with the ball and makinga run with about seven minutes left, craw comes down court, doesn't have to make a difficult pass, just a pass to the guy next to him and he throws it right into the arms of peterson, who goes down court finds CV who hits the 3. Momentum gone, game gone!!!! We need a backup PG, without steph we just don't have a guard good enough to keep other teams honest, did you see how curry at one time had 4 guys on him!!! I mean how good would this team be if we had a guy who could hit some mid range shots?

You can't put this one off on our bigs, frye and curry were in there blocking shots, intimidating, scoring, they did their jobs, guys it is our backcourt. Plain and simple, nate is too young, Q woods has come a long way but still has a way to go. Ariza can't hit a shot, he still is too young, Craw is a mental scramble, jumble now,and Q richardson can't seem to stay healthy, I though he would be the answer but he seems to have setback after setback... We really do need Jalen rose on this team now... Maybe he will answer some of our needs and we can go on another streak...

I am happy with fryecurry, lee, you don't need to convince me that those guys can play, we need a stable, steady and smart backcourt to compliment these guys..

I think we also need to press more, to change the tempo, at times the knicks look good when they are playing frantic, as crazy as that sounds...

Another loss, but our future is getting brighter...

Ah, that kool aid is good..

another glass please...........

we were down double digits since the first quarter. Its nice the bigs decided to play in the second half to only lose by a teen figure vs another 20-30 point stinker.

the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

This team has been playing like hot garbage. This team is not as stocked with talent as people thought. At the same time we should not be losing like this.
