Sure. We gave up 105 points shooting 53% to a team that got absolutely smoked the night before--missing two of its top players playing on the back to back at home. We played at a deficit all night and every time there was opportunity--we threw it away. We gave up near the end of the first half and only got back in the game because chicago got tired. I dont have confidence that Amare is going to give me 34 every night and we got very solid play from every starter and still lost. We didnt come out hard get a lead and keep it. We played poorly looked like we had little defensive chemistry and our offense in the first half was 1-1.
We played well(perceptionally) yet we lost. That says a lot.
Offense has to go through Amare. Shaq said yesterday on TNT that when you have two superstars in which one can create his own shot and the other cant, the one that can, must look/dish/give up the ball to the one that cant. This point forward that MDA is tryng to establish is not without merit. Melo needs to be a facilitator in this offense AND at the same time not shoot 10-26 a night while trying to score himself. He needs to up his game and shoot at a better clip.
I usually don't understand a word Shaq says, with his low monotone boring voice, but I understood everything he said at halftime...and he was spot on. Just like Kobe to Shaq or Dwade to Shaq, the playmaker has to get the big man off early to improve the spacing for everyone else, then the playmaker can pick and choose his own shots once the inside game is established.
Ya we did play well at least on offense but we still got beat by a bulls team missing guys and on short rest.
When the standard of play thus far has been getting blown out by the likes of the Bucks this is like winning a championship. We beat the spread, we beat the spread!
i think if the knicks had been able to pull out wins against denver and chicago people would feel a lot better about the season. those are tough losses to swallow.
exactly right now there is nothing good to hold ur hat on. at some point ubhave to start winning these games or the season will be lost. The fact that the Knicks lost to all the worst teams is what stings the most
We are what we are.
A lottery team in disarray.
I don't give a fat rat's arss what they do the rest of the year.
But, the "game picker" feature is the best in the NBA!
