The Knicks losts because they couldn't match the will of the other team. Knick were ok for 3 quarters then when the Indiana players got locked in and brought that intensity, the Knicks didn't have that ability to open themselves up and take it to Indiana. It's like going to a party already pre-gamed and ready to dance and when you get there, there is hardly anyone there, everyone is over dressed and standing in clicks on the sideline.

Nate helps but he gets taken outta his game too easy. Al Harrington gets after it but he's partying alone. Gallo isn't ready....Wilson is quiet as a mouse. Hughes is too cool to get vocal. David is crazy in his own mind and doesn't really infect his teamates...Duhon is a bum.

Knicks need some dogs!!! maybe 2....not talking about 2010 and the Lebron, Wade, Bosh sweepstakes....I'm talking about the John Starks, Derek Harper, Anthony Mason, Camby, Sprewell...even the Derek Fisher's, the eddie house, the rasheed wallace, the rip hamilton, the joakim noah's, etc....I can go on and on...

Knicks need a few guys that don't need to be told to bring it cuz they are already bringing too much intensity and will spazz on players for not bringing what they are bringing. Every good team has em. It's not always the superstar on the team but it helps. I think thier are a few attainable players out there to help out. I just hope Donnie is paying attention.

Actually, this is where Nate usually would come in. Duhon and Chandler are not great at creating their own shot. Gallo still needs time and Al is not good enough to do it by himself. If Nate were out there, we would have had that other scorer to compete with the Pacers last night.
