Let's make it 4-0 at home going into the actual season.

My first post

Well we all know what happen in that dreadful performance at Utah so lets hope they could play like they have the past two games. Be nice to end the preseason with a win and some confidence.

Would be interseting to see how many minutes Lenny gives our regulars since this is the last preseason game. Bad thing having class before this but I'll try to catch it on nba.com or something.

Also let me say hello to all the vets and others here. I will bring some good conversation to the table. Yes no matter what people say we will Win the Divison.

Hey, welcome to the boards. Just a bit of advice, stay away from any "Who will win the Atlantic" conversations with BRIGGS.

The Knicks are sucking so far. Nazzy doesn't believe in playing any quarter without fouling at least twice.

Ariza has been terrific. And please God, never let me have to hear the words "...and Shandon Anderson tries a three" ever again.

I'm watching this game on nba.com could you guys tell me how bad were being outhustled.

My god Ariza has more rebounds then Nazr. Can't seem to make a basket and of course being outrebounded.

Its so bad Anderson is in the game.

ariza shining again intense defense...

Holy crap. Ariza may now be my favorite current Knick. He must have 4 steals in ten minutes.

First steal, runs out on the break, dishes to Marbury, then he gets the follow slam over AK47.

Then starts another break with a steal, loses the ball, runs back the other way, steals it again, then runs the other way, dishes, Nazr misses, Ariza gets the rebound AGAIN. He gets stripped by the Jazz PG, but that was most entertaining pre-season sequence I've ever seen.

He is their fastest, most athletic player. He is one their few defenders. He is one of the best rebounders. Best offensive, hands down. Best finisher. I love this kid. God, I hope we don't lose him.

Sorry if that seems overly effusive, but he is the best young prospect we've had since Rod Strickland.

Our vets need to pick it up.

Also, it is very clear that Stephon likes it when Ariza is on the court with him. That bodes well for all concerned. crzymdups, Ariza should have been given two points for the sequence you mentioned, even though he didn't score.

Nazzy needs a brain transplant. He's never gonna be anything if he's always in foul trouble. Kurt Thomas should have been moved.

I still think they should have found a way to deal him. He played good d a few times in a row, but has been laying bricks at a Larry Demic type pace. Timmy Thomas is going nuts!
