He got over his head....came out of his swim lane.....stepped out of his sand box.

This is where KP needs to learn from Melo. Regardless what coach calls in crunch time, the team always knew to play through Melo. And KP had the ball, but passed it to Lee......KP needs to develop a go to move going to the basket....or run a pick and roll with Frank. But those mid range jumpers is never a good go to move in crunch time....Especially when they are getting layups on the other end.

I think KP touched the ball both times, but passed it off to Lee. At least thats what happened on the last play.

I wouldn't say that but his iso definitely contributed to the collapse. KP and Baker also made terrible plays late so its really a team lost.

There is absolutely nothing to learn from Melo.

They just talked about this on the post game. There is something to be learned from Melo.

I’m sorry but they are out of their wack a do minds. Melo is absolutely useless player a simple product of shots. No defense and just a pile of crap.

KP might become an All-Star this season. At the same time, hope he isn't becoming a Diva as well.

You make a fair point. As much as i like KP and his confidence i think sometimes he goes overboard both on the court and off the court sometimes. I still dont like that he blew off the exit meeting and basically ignored the knicks all summer.

Have no problem with KP skipping that exit meeting, considering the complete disfunction across the board. Its the checks KP is writing that his game has yet to cash when it matters, that bothers me. Maybe its a matter of growing up.

I don't mind losing these kinds of games as a young team. It's a learning lesson for both players and coaches. I'm sure they will all look at film and kick themselves. KP would see that was a bad shot. Coach will see some better plays.

Doesn't it have to be concerning though that on back to back nights the team fell apart in the last 2 minutes? Something like 6 turnovers in the last 2 minutes combined. Yes, they beat the Celtics last night but that was in spite of how they closed the game offensively. I'm personally not impressed with Hornaceck's offensive sets. They usually turn the ball over after timeouts.

Tonight was a winnable game and a chance to go to 18-14. It's a huge missed opportunity.
