UGLY ass game but I'll take the W. We're 1-0, Nets are 0-1. That's the bottom line. Better to pull out games like these than piss 'em away...The whole problem tonight was guys just threw the towel in at the half and put it on cruise control way too early -- they do it all the time. Ya can't do that, even in your own gym. Any other team -- the friggin' Bobcats, whoever -- and we loose this one up 25. We ran into a team down 2 PGs and their starting center out with foul trouble early. Knicks should consider themselves lucky.
One of the better defensive games I've ever seen Tyson Chandler play man, honestly. Dude really showed up tonight defensively. A guy that size (7'1") with his athleticism and reach SHOULD block a few shots every game...It's always been difficult for me to accept hearing "well, Tyson's not a shot-blocker." F that...Get into guys and challenge EVERYTHING. PROTECT THAT RIM!! Gotta give him credit -- he did tonight. Can't remember him having a big block game like that before for us..It made all the difference...A lot of guys played good D, esp. in that 1st half. Just can't fold the tent & board the plane for Chicago at the half -- we still had an entire 2nd half to play!!! Disgusting to relinquish a big lead like that, esp. at home..
Like Dagger said -- hopefully we're not happy with this 2nd half meltdown at all and play like it tomorrow in Chicago.
