This was a good game since the Spurs we're play well and the Knicks had to earn this win.

Woody still needs to cut Melo minutes down that is just irresponsible of him.

2014 = new year and refocus.

Nice win but let's see how things go in Houston tomorrow. Back 2 back will be tough.

Wow...I said today I wasn't gonna watch tonight but wound up watching the entire game. What an impressive win. They were competitive throughout. What a game by Shump -- that's why you don't just give up on this kid man. I mean he could've went for over 30 easy tonight the way he had it going -- Woody went long stretches w/o playing him.

Still stick to what I was saying earlier today -- guys like Beno, Martin, Metta and even Pablo should be removed from this team. None of these guys are a necessity for us to win now and not one of these guys are essential for the future. Beno had a decent game tonight I guess but WTF -- this dude almost coughed up the game with that turnover and the other near turnover that we luckily managed to recover quickly and turn into a Shump 3...We'd be in such better shape if we brought in some nice young talent for those 4 spots instead. Trades for 2nd rounders, buyouts or flat out cuts depending on the player.

I have to wonder if Hopla had a clinic during the four days off. The team looked great

I'll give Jr major credit for some good assists and a very crucial rebound and heady time out to close the game. Even on the Melo miss and Shump tip in he made the correct pass to an open Melo which broke down the d and lead to Shump coming down the lane free for the score. Awesome.

Stat and Beno scared me down the stretch. The knicks really need someone who can penetrate and dish/score.

The team seems to have had a mini camp. They looked much better in every way. Still Woody has to take some of Beno's minutes away and give them to Murry! I noticed MUCH less ISO tonight!!!

He needs to do something with his hands. The guy was fumbling everything it seems again.

That might be Beno's best contribution. He can and will penetrate and dish. He's also able to hit that mid-range jumper. He is deficient in ball handling.

Penetrate and dish it to the other team. Also, the silly shot adjustments for no reason to make it harder on himself.

He can but he seems to lose or almost lose the ball a lot when he penetrated.

Belinelli hung some points on him too..

Really liked Murray and shump backcourt nice to see our backcourt staying In front of their men... Wish Murray got more burn in the second half. Murray's got a really quick first step with the ball he blew by his man in the second quarter. I'm really impressed he needs more burn

He looked a little overwhelmed that last possession he was in when Amare hit that big shot with time running out. He definitely looks like a keeper.
