b) no melo, sheed, felton playing with bruised bones, etc
this is where greg popovich would put in his 3rd stringers and rest up for Brooklyn on Wednesday.
Our 3rd stringers are getting 1st half minutes
Everything about this game SCREAMS to the importance of our missing players.
Harden going off? No Shump D.
Offense looking miserable? No Melo, no Amar'e, no Sheed.
It's a no-brainer. The Knicks need to get healthy.

Felton is not an alpha dog and will struggle when asked to be the lead scorer. His role is a facilitator and secondary / tertiary scorer and he does well with that. He's played well most of this season however when asked to carry an offense he will struggle. I don't get why this is so hard for you to understand.
You seem to have some hard-on for criticizing Felton and its absurd based upon his play most of the season.
He has sucked today and of course he is being asked to be a primary scorer which is not something he excels at.

I actually remember you calling that a while ago...the Knicks not being able to compete with running teams
Yes, we can't beat the rocket while missing three starters. We suck.

He has improved a lot but he isn't showing it tonight.

Indeed. All I want for Christmas is a fully healthy squad going into the playoffs: Amare, Shump, Camby, Sheed and most importantly Melo
When teams stop the pick and roll , we have to be able to shoot from the outside when they collapse the middle

Nupe you take things too personally its only a game
Rockets are to us, like we're to the Heat.

There is very little collapsing and the rockets are not doubling anyone. Thus, no open threes and all shots are contested.
am i the only one who thinks we have a chance to win this game?

we are playing like shit and lin torched our guards what do you want him to say?
I expect him to say more how the knicks aren't playing there game, not giving all the praise to the rockets, he reminds me of Kelly Tripucka.

funny i was just thinking im glad we only see them twice a yr
No Amar'e, No Melo, No Rasheed, No Shumpert, No Camby....
I think Knicks will be fine win or lose.
Also, this game is far from over...
yes thats true however im tired of seeing us get lit up by houston
Knicks are down by like ten points. That is nothing. Where does lit up come from?!?! You need to relax and let the game play out. Even if this is a loss, I can live with it, since our roster is somewhat decimated.
Eh, while that's true every team can look for excuses.
To me it doesn't mather how or to who we lose to, it's always painful.
This
Well, you guys have no perspective. I do. The Knicks will lose anywhere from 20 to 30 games this year. They are going to lose games. No need to get bent out of shape over any particular reg. season loss. Also, this game is far far far from over. We got totally blasted in HOU. This is not remotely similar.
No perspective? I just don't see why I should "accept" any loss because you know a team isn't going to win every time they step on the court. I know they aren't going to win every game, but when they lose it's always tough and for me it's normal to not feel ok about it.
Just because you know no team is going to go 82-0 it doesn't mean a loss is "acceptable" because of that.
You lose because you don't play well enough, and you know they can play better.
You don't see why we should not get bent out of shape in a game THAT IS NOT EVEN OVER where the opposing team is fully healthy and we are missing 3 starters and multiple bench players? Ok. To each their own.
27 points now. Is that enough?
Missing players is not an excuse for the way we lost.
Melo and Amare and Shump and Camby and ... did not play vs Miami

Add timberwolves to that list since Rubio is back

I'm not sure he is taking personal but just pointing out the ridiculousness of some of the reaction. People have to be reasonable with expectations sometimes. Takes 5/6 rotation players of. Any team and let's see how they perform. Yeah every once in awhile u can get by but in the long run fully healthy teams will kill you
