Balkman and Najera do the same thing for both teams especially in the final minutes when they are both needed for loose balls hustle rebs blks etc... only BALKMAN was on the court in the end.
And Balkman made everyone aware when he was on the court.
David Lee had his moments too last night , crawford and Marbury dished the rock very well last night, but are very fortunate IVERSON HAD TO RUN THE POINT AND NOT Chucky Atkins or Anthony Carter. Ivo usually causes more damage when he's running around screens and not running the point but still managed to score 32 pts.
Oh I forgot Kmart sat out because of a game tonight, I think the nuggets chose the wrong game to sit him, I guess they overlooked the knicks to get ready for boston tonight.
Having Najera on the bench istead of Klieza, that to me was the difference in the game.
Those type of players are what keeps your team playing with a edge.
Balkman Lee and Nate had karl unable to counter the knicks when it counted.

I don't know, like you said he still managed to score 32 points. We actually have Steph's hard head to thank. It got Iverson out of the game for one possession, which was cool with me.

Another pg out there for the nuggets like a chucky atkins would have changed up how we defended all the nuggets scorers. keying on AI as the pg , helped the knicks clamp down on other scorers, if they had a pg the denver shooters would have had a field day.
Najera being on the bench helped Balkman do his dirty work.
