A win is a win (esp. on the road), but that was a TERRIBLE performance by the Knicks.

A few comments on specific players:

Crawford: First, I'd acknowledge that of his 21 misses, a good number of them were good shots that just didn't fall. However, a lot of them were really stupid shots. I just don't understand what he's thinking; sometimes I wonder if he has brain damage!! Good things happen when he drives hard and he needs to do that much more.

Nazy: Didn't play as well as his stat line (does he ever?), but still had a very nice game.

Marbury: Did everything you could ask of him.

Kurt: Got abused by Walker. After looking at those #s on his defense, I'm becoming more skeptical about Kurt.

Sweetney & Ariza: Shockingly out of the rotation.

TT: I thought he made some nice plays before tweaking his ankle. But when I looked at the box score, I couldn't believe that he grabbed zero rebounds in 23 minutes.

JYD: His defense was not as good as I expected it to be.

Penny: Had an off shooting night but otherwise played okay.

If the Knicks played like this every night, they'd probably go 15-67.

Now we start with a stupid Crawford shot and we're down again. Fuck this ****.

Lenny needs to get canned. They should know how to play D by now.

I find it hard to blame Lenny for some extremely poor efforts on D. He isn't the one playing.

exactly..however I was gonna blame him for not benching Jamal after he took bad shot after terrible shot, that is until Craw won us another game lol

Aww come on, don't say that. You just gave a topic for BRIGGS or islesfan to write a story on.

I thought NaZr was clutch tonight!

LOL! Every team has some nights where they look like this. I'm glad they pulled off a win.

It would be smart for Isiah to fill that 15th roster spot with anyone who can block shots. Heck, who leads the NBDL or CBA in blocked shots? Give Keon a call--maybe he actually has a telephone now

whew, the only thing good about that game was winning it and marbury. marbury won that game for us actually he helped us not lose it, time after time after time when he was completely exhausted the guy is silk. his play is now almost going to another level. hes f unstoppable
NOW REALISM shows why we need a 7 footer. and when i was making thos eocmments about Kt only shooting 7 FT ALL YEAR, it's a factor in differential. differential is proved to be the most accurate assessment by far to guage a team because it gets into the core of the team. KT is a very good player, but i contend he would be much better playing with a guy like Tim Duncan. Obviously beggars cant be choosers and at this point if we want to win we need KT--UNLESS there is opportunity to get a BIg man. Heck Kevin willis would be HUGE for us off the bench. we need a 7 footer like that

i contend he would be much better playing with a guy like Tim Duncan.

Name five players who wouldn't be much better playing with Tim Duncan, Briggs.

The free throws don't worry me about KT. You don't have to have every starter getting to the line often. The team's perimeter defense does worry me, though.

That's my reaction too. And you can't obsess over one stat--Walker had a lot of turnovers but overall he had an outstanding game. (Heck, he was one turnover shy of a tripple double )

LOL

Where are the smart-a&&es who claimed that this game was going to be an easy win? Didn't I tell you? Everygame in this league is a hard game. It doesn't matter which team that we are playing, the other players are professionals just like ours. Besides, bad teams always get up to play the Knicks.

Dude! what do you expect? Our starting lineup has a lot of issues. We have a bunch of scorrers that can't play a drop of D on the court as starters. We don't have one guy in there that can do the little things. Kurt wants to be a scorrer or a freaking star, reason is because Lenny believes that the Pick & roll is working between he and Marburry. We need a guy on the court like JYD or Ariz or Brewer to constantly play defense or play the passing lanes. Until a trade happens to clear the mess that we have at the 4 and the 3, we will always be a mediocre defensive team. You can't built defense around Kurt nor Nazr. I would much rather keep Nazr around because he is younger. The time has come for Kurt to go folks. Recognize the weaknesses that we have in our team and what to do to fix it. I know that a lot of folks want Curry in our squad, hey, this could be the time to acquire him. Stop the madness about Kurt.

You missing the point....That game should've been an easy win but not for the Knicks who are a terrible defensive team especially on the road. Any elite team would've destroyed Atlanta. Atlanta was awful we SHOULD'VE blown them out. It's not that there are no easy games in this league, it's the fact that the Knicks are not Elite.

Kurt wasn't gonna play good defense against Walker. Walker plays like a guard, too fluid for Kurt. Should've been TT or Ariza on him, maybe JYD. We all know that Kurt is slow-footed.
