For the season, Chandler is averaging 12.0 PPG on 4.6 FGA. That's ridiculous.

yeah, i always want them to give the foul and they NEVER EVER EVER do.

I've seen 4pt plays that way. Lots of stupid defensive players

The foul to give they should've used on Kemba Walker as he was trying to get it over the timeline. I am just shocked they were so preoccupied with Kemba that they didn't realize they were basically leaving Augustin to set up behind the 3 point line.

Knicks played a great game defensively, but that kind of breakdown is totally inexcusable. That costs you games. Knicks have to to be better on one play execution. Its one thing to get the 3 ball off, but a completely open look for the best 3 pt shooter on the other team when they have to bring up the ball the entire court with 8 or so seconds left. Horrid!

I agree.. Stat & Melo damn near shot us out the game... A win is a win and effort was not lacking, just some bone head decisions. Fields.. his shot is long gone!! I think at times Balkman could've went in and contributed more right now. I think I saw Baron yelling at Stat to give up the ball when Stat took that ill-advised shot. Idk.. not sure.

Pretty much this. Amare and Melo combined for 13/43 from the field.

Uptown @ 1/9/2012 10:11 PM
I think Melo is still hurt. He had zero lift today. Missed two gimme layups...And his jumper was long as if overcompensating...

That's actually pretty incredible. He doesn't take 3's....so not only is he basically making every shot, he's going to the line at an abnormal rate.

He was so awesome tonight. He shut down a lot of drives. He and Shumpert were the players that really made it happen today. Melo/Stat provided a lot of inefficient scoring, but it was enough.

Yep!

It got sloppy down the stretch, but hey, I'm just glad we won. It's a W.

Now that we're over .500, let's KEEP it over .500. GO KNICKS.

I saw a college team play a zone where they put all 5 guys on the 3 pt line in that spot. Just do that, tell everyone on ur team not to jump and then make them knock down a contested 3

Melo and Stat were off today but who else is going to score for us? Unless its a lob or offensive put back Chandler aint scoring, Shump is a rook, so wh is the next candidate. Feilds shot is shot, and we get nothing from our bench....Douglas is injured, Harrelson isn't a scoring neither is Bill Walker....

Yeah I been thinking about that. No one on our bench has any confidence either.

Chandler has been our most consistent player all year. Such a great signing.
VDesai @ 1/9/2012 10:20 PM
BTW, does anyone else think Iman Shumpert is a little bit like a bigger Gary Payton. He doesn't have that innate PG skill yet, but I love his agressive play at the guard position. He really goes after it on both ends.

We will look deeper when Davis plays. That will give us 4 scorers Melo, Amare, Davis & Shump

Yeah that's for all the people that didn't think it was a good signing. There are some pundits that also weren't that big on the deal. Once we get B. Diddy it will really be a more potent lineup. Still feels like we need another player.

I think he is top 3 in efficiency may be all the way at the top.

I think we need a guard that can shoot the ball. Should've grabbed Michael Redd instead of Steve Novak.

lol. dude, you are such a knicks apologist, i love it.

knicks got away with some off nights for amar'e and melo tonight. looked like melo was hurt and the rest of the team was settling for jumpers. 3 points total from the bench is not going to cut it.
