Very lucky bounce off the rim on that Thornton 3 near the end of regulation time, and there was that one shot that Ariza took which went in and was pure luck.

Not much you can do, sometimes.

They continue to miss KP when we are coming down the court. Pretty sure he was in the lane with nobody within 6 feet of him twice and nobody seemed to see him.

He actually tries to get early position at times, and our ball handlers don't seem to understand the benefit of dumping it in when he has some space.

I agree about Beverly. He really sets the tone when he is on the floor. Also, are there two less like able stars than Harden/Howard.

They have their moments, though.

Yeah - saw them miss KP a bunch of times. Sigh.

Grant is going to be playing a lot more if his shot is falling. Looks much more confident on offense the past 2 games.

Calderon's issue is usually D...if he is not shooting well or protecting the ball he probably has no place on the court, unfortunately.

38 minutes for him- a bit of a stretch at this point in his career.

Those 11+ minutes sure makes me think that Fisher is going to give him minutes.

Hopefully there will be a gradual changing of the guard (no pun intended). Grant will get his time if he deserves it.

Did seem to me that he should have played more minutes tonight.

Grant was 3-3fg with 7pts 2ast 1to in 11 minutes tonight. Calderon was 2-7fg with 7pts 4ast 5tos in 38min. Galloway was 2-9fg 4pts 3tos in 26min.

I think Grant should've gotten some of Calderon and/or Galloway's minutes down the stretch. He was key to them rebuilding their lead in the late third after Houston cut it down to start the second half. And Calderon and Galloway looked tired and were making bad decisions and backbreaking turnovers.

Sorry but Harden n Howard are at the very top of the list. Not even close.

We shot 58% though.

yeah ... tough call. Bring him back and we hold other teams to fewer points or keep in on the bench and get great ball movement.

Now we are blaming Melo for how the bench/role players performance?

The difference between today and the last three matches is that the bench players finally stepped up. Lets HOPE Seraphin, Thomas and Williams can give us the similar stat lines against Philly.

The teams role players were VERY good tonight. If they bring that the rest of the year the Knicks will be in great shape.

who cares ... I can def see why howard would be hated because he sucks and why harden would be hated because he is so much better than what we have and he is also acting like a bit of a prick.

Harden is very hateable. He is also a top 5 player in the league. I remember the year that Houston lost in the playoffs a couple of years ago. Knicks fans were so damn excited and ready to pounce on him. Then last year he comes back and is practically a co-mvp and leads a sh1tty team all the way to a tough series against one of the best TEAMS that has played in a really long time.

Hate away. Just don't be blind by it. I may be starting to hate him too with the kardashian crap and getting coach fired.
