"We'll find a way," coach Isiah Thomas said. "It's definitely a bad time to have the injuries we've had, going down the stretch, but we're prepared to compete and we'll keep competing."

"We really feel that we can play with anybody," (Curry) said. "We realize Detroit is a tough team, if not the toughest team in the East. But if we can get in there, that's when we start worrying about what the matchup is."

No it doesn't. This is an example of an Isiah-type pre-game classic:

"Toronto is a great team. And, well, we've had a few days off -- our rhythm might not be where it needs to be. Sometimes too much time off can hurt. And you know, Toronto is a number one team for a reason -- they're damn good. We're on the road. This game is by no means the game that defines our season, but we'll try -- we'll see how it goes."

I'm glad he didn't say that tonight. The Knicks came out strong. I ain't complaining. I like seeing them start out with leads. It's better than the routine first quarter thumping they take usually. Let's go Knicks! One more half like that and we win.

Bonn - a bad sign? Nah. I just copies 'em and pastes 'em.

Isiah even dapped up his assistant coaches. What's the world comin' to?
