I can't forget the good things I saw from the Knicks. The start of the second half was some great basketball. Eisley and Shandon played great, and they are deserving of more playing time. The 50-50 split for time at the PG position will have to be changed so Eisley is gettig 30+ minutes. When Jax comes in the Knicks are playing 4 on 5 on both ends. How many times is Jax's defender going to fall to the floor and still get back into the play defensively without the Knicks taking advantage?

I think the Knicks lost it when Allan Houston came in for Shandon at the end of the 3rd. Two terrible offensive posessions with less than a minute left put a damper on the Knicks rally and swithed the momnetum back to NJ. Allan Houston is proving every night thathe is a one demensional jump shooting guard. Put a taller long armed guy on him and you can shut him down no problem. He did play well against the Blazers, but most of his points came against a smaller Derek Anderson...once they put Pippen on him his scoring was shut down.

You are absolutely right. They were only down two, then ended the quarter down 9 or something.

Unfortunately, with Jackson and Houston in there, its a 5 on 3 for the other team.

Houston is definitely overpaid. How many times have you heard "Houston dribbles it off his foot and loses it . . ."

Todd MacCulloch, whom the Knicks ignored in the 1999 draft and instead picked J.R. Koch in the second round, scored 13 of his 16 in the first half.

Knixkik, congrats on 400!
You've got double my total, so I guess there's some catching up to be done!

And I agree with you about E-Rob... Can you imagine having Robinson, Sprewell and Camby in the same lineup?!? They would be very exciting to watch.

Granted MacCulloch is a big body, but I think that Kidd makes him what he is. Put MacCullluh on the Knicks and he is just a slight improvement over Spencer. Really how many times is Todd going to get you points off of his individual effort?

My point is that he would be a whole lot better than J.R. Koch.
