We need Ray Felton to stay healthy. Udirih is a good player but if he is your lead PG for 30+ minutes--youre in trouble. Ray looked awesome when he was healthy--like an all star.


Bargs--I think hes got it--and if not the coaches can show him the film. Find seems and set up 12 feet and in. Hes money from 12 feet and in--hes a big target.

We needed Kenyon Martin to play the 2nd half when Bargs is out there!!! They got back in the game by killing us in the middle. If Kenyon and Amare play every other game--let them go 7 minutes a half!!! I thought this was the big one--when Felton went down and Martin not in their for D--we got complacent and swarmed inside. Heck play Aldrich if Martin cant go but we need to keep the clog in the paint on the D for 48 minutes.

You walk away positive--we did build a 25 pt lead we did come back to win by 7 and emphasize win. I think guys can see their roles and maybe what fits them

Now lets see us tomorrow with a fresh Amare for 15-17 minutes. Woody cant be afraid to throw in Cole for 5 minutes if need be.

RIP Crushalot😞

Ray always looks awesome early. Then he gets fatigued. Shot gets flat. Doesn't penetrate, settle for jumpers and can't stay in front if his man. Early he always looks like an Allstar though.

Tyson is similar. Looks like an Allstar early then 2nd half develops the flu and other health issues

Very excited about a first full season of Shumpert tho

THJ is exciting too

A win is a win but jeez...that gave me a heart attack

Kudos to prigoni..i thought he was the mvp

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

What we learned from game 1?

The team has a lot of moving parts, and Woody is still experimenting with the roster. When in doubt, go with what worked last season.

We also learned that a healthy Chandler is superb. Hopefully I can eat my words about him this year.

Chandler looked really good last night. Active on D, shot blocking presence. Offensive follow up at the rim and a couple of nice dunk finishes to get the crowd into it....even an outside shot!

Barqs looked rusty....going to hold opinion on him until about a month in or so.

Shump might just evolve in to a really good complete player.

Ray takes a lot of sh1t, but he looked very good.

Prigs has some nice man D....too many TO's last night.

The court looks much better painted in Knicks blue.

Tyson Chandler is back

Positives:
Shump wants to be the second scorer
Artest brings a different energy to this team and I love when he's on the floor
Tyson looks motivated, but Sanders was out most of the game so lets see how he handles Noah tonight
Ray looked great for a while.

Negatives:
Imagine what a big team is gonna do to us in the paint after seeing that.
Bargs hasn't and doesn't impress me
Beno looked outta sorts

We got more and younger weapons than last year.

Bargs is still recovering. A full month off. Now taking the over under on when he has a sick break out game like he used to have against us. He suhucked majorly, and we were still up by 25. To coin a phrase, chew on that.

Welcome THJ! (Don't know if dad told you or not, but no one but Bonn and the Sombers will feel it's not necessary to hit every shot you take...)

Double Double Melo. Like that. The assists will come when Bargs starts hitting. Was that Mr. Lazy Inefficient saving another ball going out of bounds? My oh my.

Beno, watch Mr. Prigs. That's what we need. You can mimic the old man, it's okay.

I think this team takes a step when Bargs hit that jumper...Having an alternative to Melo is welcomed...When Bargs gets his legs and he hits those shots, people will start talking...Then we bring JR off the bench...Sprinkle in a little Tim Jr.(Copeland who?)from the trey...Tim disappears at times on the court..He has to let his presences be known..Crash the boards...

What I got from this game is what I have always said, the pressure to play at MSG for the home team is INCREDIBLE!!!

Did you guys feel the excitability of that intro ?

That kind of hype atmosphere reminded me of the NBA finals, who wouldn't be nervous after that type of introduction.

Playing for the knicks at MSG is very difficult, the opposing teams always try to get a rep with all the big NYC media there.

They should be more relaxed playing in Chicago.

Chandler was hurt and not close to par last year....

But he's the only DPOY in franchise history

Healthy Chandler >>>> trading Chandler

This is going to be a long season..

Ray and chandler are still our best two man combo

Beno looks shot

Bargs looks like he wants no part of basketball anymore

I like THJ, nice shooter..

shumpert shows flashes, but in spots, needs more consistency.. would like to see him closer to Lance stephenson type of play..

If felton can stay in shape and if chandler can stay aggressive, knicks will be less predictable on offense...

But there just isn't enough all around talent and size on this team to be a contender... but 43-46 wins is still my prediction.

I watched a lot of games last night and I don't see many teams at this point that we have more talent than...

My main takeaway: Thank god we don't live in Milwaukee. That is one weak-ass team. Might struggle to win 20 games.

Knicks were erratic. Early season game, so that's not surprising. Hard for me to take to much out of it, but I agree with those giving props to ray ray and tyson. Both looked really good. And we just need 81 more wins for a perfect regular season.

He has to STAY healthy. He's ben hurt every Spring we've had him. And last year it was most of the season he wasn't playing well.

they will be better than you think. They lost their starting PG during the first minute of the game and erased a 25 point deficit with their rookie PG. who is not even their backup.. ridnour is..

Still surprised we are bringing Bargs off the bench ---- When has he Ever done that in his life? And now we got him to be our 2nd scorer and to take pressure off Melo. Sure he has looked rusty in the Pre Season but in my view --- you start him and THEN if he struggles--- bring him off the bench. We will need him tonight againt the Bulls.
