Timmy is back.

The last game he was really under control and attacking offensively.....which should be his role. He even got up on Battie for that vicious dunk no one said a word about in Orlando.

Why is he back?

He was the only man back on a 2 on one fast break........he was back pedaling and closed off one defender forcing the pass and then in one motion turned and blocked Wally's shot at the rim.

I believe I may have hit a Maria Carey note on that one.

Good to see. It's about freakin time. Isiah almost traded him if the Nets didn't get nosy.

Timmy's body language is alot different the last 3 games.

Let's go baby......stretch out a nice lead on the division before the all-star break.

good to be in first place. Be better if we were not just 13th in the league!

All in time, all in time!

Like i said way back. The way Thomas played wasn't the real Thomas. Though he did deserve all the critism that he got. People were acting like thats they way he has played his whole career. But Its allways been that way with the Knicks. If Muhammad played bad for the next 2 weeks (knock on wood) then he would get blasted and he would be called a bumb and all that.

TT at the two makes them big and formidable. It gives Sweetney more minutes along with KT and Nazr to fortify the boards. Lastly, it gets TT more in the flow with more touches from Marbury. It seems sometimes that TT is the odd man out in terms of shots when Houston, Crawford, Marbury decide to go on a roll.
I don't see how other teams can match up with our big lineup, but conversely against a quick time this idea would have to be used in small doses.

Tell u the truth I think the difference is last season TT was making all his 3pt shots and 20 foot jumpers. He shot at like 45% and 40% from 3. He was very effective as a shooter last season. So I think this season he started to settle for those shots that weren't falling. Now he is playing more aggressive taking the ball to the basket.

p.s. in my opinion, TT is NOT a three point shooter and should limit his attempts from behind the arc. He should concentrate on continuing his efforts to get open 15-20 footers. To me, that's the range that best suits him and with Steph, he'll get the open shots.

A lot of people including Ray Allen accused him of being soft and an underachiever. Point is, he's hasn't come close to fulfilling his "potential" and until last night and a very few bright moments, this season for him as been an unmitigated disaster.

Let's hope he continues to find his role, relax and improve. We'll be a lot better team if he does.

bingo.....he's awesome with his in between game

Same thing happend when Houston went down last season. TT stepped up.

Also TT shot 40% from 3pt line as a knick last yr. I don't know why its not falling this season but I do agree he should take less attempts because there not falling.

It's clear Allan Houston has the leaping ability (i.e. push off for shot) of my accountant.
