stop being ridiculous. Melo was getting RAPED all night and got no love from the refs, you think he's gonna get a damn foul call at the end of the game?

look at the replay. he held the ball for 3 whole seconds before making a move. that is holding onto the ball way too long. melo was not "raped" all night long. he usually initiates contact by lowering his shoulder.

The Knicks are the best defensive team so far. Lets hope they keep it up.

Is That all it is? No, but Chandler has defended the rim better than anytime last year or two years ago. I didn't even mind him having only 6 rebs in the 1st game because of the job he was doing.

Also, I believe Ny was number 1 last years in stls or forcing turnovers, if not #1 then in the top 5, and it looks like they have kept that activity up.

My hope is for NY defense to be in the top 10 to make of for the lost efficiency. If their in the top 10 in both that would be great.

All? Of course not. If you put Chandler with a bunch of HS basketball players, we'd be worst in the league. Without Chandler, we'd probably be below average though.

The NBA has rescinded Carmelo Anthony's technical from Wednesday's opener. #Knicks

Even the league office thinks the officiating sucked.

You know this happens quite often, right?

Does it happen often where the foul shot from the rescinded technical was the difference in a 1 point loss?

Tech was from Wednesday, Bucks game. I agree the officiating was slanted against the Bulls, but the rescinded tech is irrelevant.

Well maybe it was all Tyson in those games.
