Considering everything that went down, this is a blessing to only be down 6!!!

Refs aren't helping and Knicks making dumb fouls. The Knicks can still get this game if they come out and get STAT involved early.

I expect Melo to erupt in the 2nd half. Knicks just need to keep it close down the stretch.

With the way these idiots can't score it might as well be 50

I expect Melo to blow

This team wants to go home.

Hopefully this is the last time I see Woodson on the Knicks sidelines or I'll be very upset.

BARON is KILLING US!!! When he has the ball and just holds it looking at everyone stand around it's a HORRIBLE offense for the Knicks.

I'll give you a perfect reason why Woody has to go. On the one time they ran the screen play for Novak, he had Melo and Novak on the same side and Melo ends up setting the screen. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Melo your best player setting a screen for NOVAK??? You never use him that way!!! Melo tries to set the screen and gets a foul called on him

I always said I would like Woody to continue as coach but with the way he relies on SHITTY Smith really changed my mind. The guy is averaging like 6 TO, 8 stupid shots and the kicker at least 3 stupid fouls. I would try TD to see if he can provide something and play Smith less.

Chandler - 1 point 4 rebounds and bonehead move that could have gotten him thrown out

I myself would like a hell of alot more from him

MELO - 18 points, 5 rebounds - trying hard - wrong time to go cold from the perimeter - as JVG says "these are really good shots just not falling" - gotta hit those J's!!

Nice start for Amare so he is off the hook for any wrong doing - doesn't really prove anything to rag on him

JR Smith - FAIL

Jorts - good hustle

BD - FAIL FAIL FAIL

Woodson - bad luck - bring on PJAX

If Smith wants to pick up his option then i dont mind him staying but if he wants more then he is not worth it becasue like you said his turnovers and he is very hot and cold and lately he has been cold all the time

Yeah - Melo really needs to work on his screen-setting.

Fields had a great stretch in the first quarter. Great balance in his game, mixed things up. If he tried to play that way all the time he would be worth re signing.

I just got home, but if this is what happened then that was a dumb play. Why would you use the person who will bring the most defensive attention to that side of the floor to set the screen. In that case even if Novak gets open for a split second that side of the floor will be filled with defenders since they always overload on melo's side of the floor.

Also I know Fields hasn't been playing great but he came out and gave us 5 points and energy, then got rooted on the bench. WTF is that with BD stinking up the joint

Ok that is it now Smith starting the third

He earned that with a hard fought 1-7 first half

Yea you see Fields blowing his lips in resignation? I really want to see Fields and Melo play together...
