You can't win like this. How much is this home cooking from the refs, I'm not sure, but it's impossible to win with this discrepancy.

Haha just posted the same thing.

Tonight I didn't think the game was poorly called, except maybe the stretch where Lee picked up 3 fouls in 90 seconds in the third quarter. Though most of those even seemed to be legit.

Toronto played well tonight.

Last night in Boston was one of the worst reffed games I've seen in 25 years of watching the NBA.

I thought these numbers would change with two attack guards like rose and Jennings but so far that hasn't really been the case. Will be an interesting stat to monitor going forward especially home vs. away.

Not constructive. It's a legitimate point. Raptors had like 2.5 X the free throws and we were aggressive tonight. Pales in comparison to yesterday. But still seems like a fair point

Having said that we need to stay focused and especially the players. Too much complaining by them. They lose their focus and the refs just get more pissed

Then 5-12

Then 7-18

And then Hornaceck is fored and the season is

Same script

This is true. Knicks need to tighten things up. Stop playing D w their hands

And the refs will meet the half way. I thought tonight refs had some home cooking.

Last night was out of control horrible refs (and Knicks did themselves no favors)

They can fix this. And sometime this year we might feel like the beneficiary of home cooking

There is real potential for this team.

my main concern is the defense. They have a lot of poor defenders so its tough to cover that up

True but they can still improve as a team and develop better defensive chemistry as the season Progresses. They still have a lot to learn but I can see progress already. It doesn't look like they have the roster to be a very good defensive team, so they've got to get a LOT better offensively.

The bad stretches of offense are not allowing them to take advantage of the times they've actually defended well!!! They had chances to extend a lead but didn't score.
