The Knicks could use Stoudemire right now with Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby still out of action leaving the team short-handed on the front line. But Stoudemire has yet to actually run through a full practice with the Knicks, something that he and Woodson have said they would like to do.

As the Bulls exposed, Tyson Chandler is only effective at point blank range. Noah effectively used his height and bounce to shield Tyson from the rim to help diffuse our pick and roll game. No post game, no buckets. Felton and Brewer were left with the scraps of Deng pestering Carmelo with length and athleticism. Jason Kidd was off.

JR Smith, our second most valuable talent, was the best player on the floor for New York. Not for his scoring, but because he was the only player able to get where he wanted on the court

They’re flying to Los Angeles following tonight’s game, and with back-to-back games in L.A. and Phoenix, the day before Sacramento will likely be a day off for the team.

With all our big men MIA, 2012 will end with a brutal road trip. The west coast swing always is. Away from home until January, team bonding over the holidays will be a positive byproduct. Win or lose.

When the Knicks return home they have three days off, which will likely mean a day of rest and then two days to use for real practice sessions before the Jan. 1 game against Portland at home.

Translation: Until Amare or Sheed returns, we will struggle with teams who double Carmelo. Our interior defense cannot be maintained by one man and everyone knows it. Our offense, over-dependent on Carmelo to carry the load, must get back to sharing the load.

After Carmelo was tossed, the ball finally started to move again and Raymond Felton drove inside with passion. Fact or fiction?

Who knew we would rely on Chris Copeland for quality minutes?

Excellent Question playa. The best thing the Knicks had going for them in the early season was the element of surprise. There were low expectations and a bunch of open questions related to AARP. Now that everyone has seen how this wild bunch has played against a variety of strategies, a picture starts to emerge.

The fact we have so many rotation players receiving medical treatment makes us that much more unpredictable, after they return.

Any reporter who thinks Amar'es return is a negative is on drugs. Sheed is an anchor. Camby gives us interior presence, something that is being exploited. We desperately miss our bigs. As a result, we may not know what we have until March. That is, provided the injury train can dump some passengers.

20-7 is a nice place to be, despite a truckload of roster turmoil.

ha!

I was just typing something along those lines. Never mind ...

The opponents can put doughnuts all over the floor attached to strings and keep yanking them
