looks like marbury was resting for tomorrow's game.
h20 was benched to save him for detroit.
tim was benched to save the viewers from him.

really?

i mean, when a dude's averaging 15-20 min. a game, do you really have to "save" him for the next game (even if it's a back-to-back)?

c'mon man, if HOUSTON was cleared to play then he should be playing and earning his bloated salary, period.

Did anyone notice the total lack of offense in the last quarter. I'm glad they won but I am concerned........

Wow, Nazr looked good.
Scared as hell in the closing minute. Kidd with the 2 3's? The whole TMac story was replaying in my mind.

first game in a LONG time that was won soley on the D. We kept collapsing the lane, prohibiting penetration and they had no shooters.

Now, will Lenny be smart enough to put JYD in our starting lineup in place of TT??
This change is long overdue, and I think that Lenny has lost us many games because of that.

JYD not starting has not cost us any games. JYD brings energy and hustle off the bench. He has been playing better than Tim, and he has seen more minutes than Tim because of that.
JYD has been a great player off the bench and has lead us back into games. It may serve us better to keep him off the bench.

When will you all and Lenny be smart enough to notice that our starting lineup is in desperate need for a defensive change? This team always gives up big leads all because they show no defensive abilities what so ever. Our starters are all offensive players believe it or not. Yes, some of you claim that Kurt is our best defender, but I am here to remind you all again, that Kurt is not a freaking defender. JYD is badly needed to complement our front-court.

You don't need to remind me I'm with you regarding KT. He is average defender at best but fans tend to make him bigger than he is. His man constantly can get a shot off against him. Nazr is the man.

My comments:

Nazy was unbelievable! His defense is definitely improving. Maybe some of it has to do with Aguirre; he's probably never played for a smart organization.

Jamal's shot selection drove me crazy at times but overall he had a good game.

Moochie and JYD played great off the bench. Great energey and great defense.

Sweetney sure looks like he's regressed from the energetic monster who averaged 7 rbs a game in 16 mpg in March of last year.

TT's had his chance for 21 games. That's one quarter of a season. It's time to start JYD. If Houston's ever healthy enough, he can start at SF. TT's still gotta get significant minutes, but he's lost his starting job IMO.

This game was all about Nazy's 8 blocks. I'm so happy for him.

Credit Nazy Mohammed for that. Maybe you can even credit Isiah for spotting this guy on Atlanta's bench?

I have to say that Sweetney needs to keep his hand off the Sweets the boy looks like he is spending to much time in the bakery. He was in a lot better shape during summer league. Sweetney needs to shed 15 pounds and get back to his monster rebounding ways. He needs to do some serious cardio.

good game. Nazr and KT really clean up against inferior competition, but its not their fault the Nets suck. Good for them. Tomorrow is a different story. Tommorrow is Marbury's night. Keep Billups out of the paint and we will win.

My favorite trio is Marbury, Crawford and JYD. There just seems to be a lot of action. Two bigtime gunslingers and a maniac with a nose for the ball. We dont really have a SF on the team aside from TT, but JYD is making himself a case for a start (plus TT sucks eggs)

the Knick defense was awesome tonight...JYD, Nazr, KT, Jamal & Moochie all brought their intensity...

Crawford was out of control at times as usual, but he still played a great all around game for us...that nasty behind the back double crossover on Buford was NICE! too bad he missed the shot, or else it would have made the highlight reels for sure.

Moochie had his best game as a Knick imo...played excellent defense & brought some great energy to the game, which was much needed w/the pretty quiet game that Marbury had...he didn't seem to have his explosiveness.

Tim Thomas...get the F out of town!...i'm sickened by the mere sight of this guy in a Knick uniform at this point.

& last but not least, NAZR! wow, what a shotblocking display by him tonight...if he can keep that type of intensity up all year long, this team is complete.

great win against a team i despise...what's sweeter is that they finally beat the Nets at the Continental Airlines Arena, where i think they've lost the last 7 before tonight's game.
