the same bonehead posts showed up when JR hit a billion 3's in a game and couldn't miss. Yay for him. That proved that he was a great player.

It proved that we need the scorer, we just got offseason to score, to score. Not to pass like you fat guys that sit on a couch want everyone to play like. Because that was probably your best attribute as a player 40 years ago. Did you wear a head band and tight ahorts? Wait bad thought, i dont want to know. Let me guess, you hate the way Curry and Klay T play?

well said ... brilliant

Too presumptuous? Sorry, way off. You probably never played organized ball. Just read about it a lot. And no, bench riding in Catholic High School in the 60's would not qualify for organized ball.

you must be one of the smarter kids at hofstra

Good one. Trying to lower anyone's self confidence who disagrees with you. Staring at your computer from your basement day after day to see how well your witty remarks were received by a board. You are proving my point by pulling bitter old man crap with your attempt at a put down. Put downs only work if your talking to the weak and unaccomplished. Judging by your remarks we both know you never played ball and have a dated perception of basketball. Aside from being a couch potato athlete who tries to criticize those who have worked so hard to get to a high level. Be happy to invite you to our weekly pick up.game at the Piers to go over your accelerated skill level. I'll make sure to bring some of the Hofstra Basketball alumni.

Knicks are like 14-3 when the scored over 99.

Just underscores the need for more scoring. They leave a lot of points on the floor each game. It would change everything if they can improve their ability to score the ball more efficiently on a more consistent basis.

Just curious...did you listen to Wally's thoughts on the game?

what did he say?

I'm in Georgia and was forced to watch the Hawks feed. Whatever Wally said it's clear as day that this team wins games when they execute on offense. They got some good minutes from the guards today which has been the biggest weakness.

Something happened with the official scorer during the second quarter. So all of the boxscores right now do not reflect the second quarter correctly.

They alluded to it on the broadcast, but wouldn't go into detail... probably didn't want to get the guy fired!

Afflalo is sort of the x-factor for this team. If he is scoring, he takes a ton of pressure off Melo and the team tends to play well.

It shows the importance of AA, but really just the importance of having a reliable second scorer next to Melo - as amazing as it is to say, he has never really had that in NY, outside of JR's Sixth Man of the Year season (when we coincidentally won 54 games).

But if AA and KP can get more consistent as they learn the offense, and KP gets over whatever rookie wall he hit - I think this team can actually internally improve over the course of the season.

afflalo when he is on is fine but what does he do for us when he is off, or only semi on? Not nearly enough to be considered good.

Happy to see that he played well.
