Bingo
No Lopez was primary and Knicks doubled to help Tyson. Ball swing to Johnson and you know.
.....and you know the Celtics are gonna bring it when they play the Knicks Thursday.
what an awful weekend tha rangers get killed twice and the knicks are quickly letting the nets and pacers go by them

Yes because it cant possibly be that the knicks had a bad game. It had to be the refs.
Right, I wasn't gonna go there. Otherwise it would initiate the ATTACK OF THE TROLLS. Safer to just blame the refs.
Getting out rebounded killed us tonight.

The Celtics and Bulls have our number. their defense and their ability to get into melo's head is well documented
Al Trautwig "Buzzer beater off by an inch" yeah right it was off the frickin backboard

LOL, looks like the decoy worked on you also. The nets always go to johnson at the end of the game. You might be expecting them to go ISO Jo like we do melo but they are much smarter than that.
Woody gets in trouble when he goes back to his old ways of ISO ball. If you get an ISO after you've 1st run a good play then fine, but to just start off looking for the obvious ISO to Melo is just lame.
Also STAT was 6-10 and Melo was 11-29. I thought the whole point of this year was that we'd see more Low Post plays for our bigs. WTF??? STAT is actually having some success if we look to set him up on a traditional low Post up. Instead he's getting looks off scramble type plays. We should be playing the way we were to start the year with GREAT ball and player movement. We really miss the high % PnR to Tyson too.

He is the "decoy" that only fools Woodson, in his delusional offense. 
Can't judge most teams when their starting pg is out, he sets the table.
Im not discouraged waiting to see how we play when our key components are in place.

I only saw a total of about 20 minutes of this game but I saw Stat get the ball with position twice and bobble it and I saw him get his shot blocked. That Bropez block was brutal.

PJ outcoached Woody, bottom line. The Knicks had 22 seconds to get a good shot for ANYBODY and ended up going to ISOMelo, like you said, with no ball/player movement, nothing. I get going to the well, but when the well has played 45 minutes and is 11-28 on the night to that point - DRAW UP A PLAY!
This feels like a playoff loss. Not a good feeling.

Eh, there's some truth to that but we still were at home and had $70 mil in healthy players. It's a game the Knicks should have won.
Is anyone watching this Tri-State Ford Knicks Postgame report???! The guys are straight up giving us a show!! Wally and Hahn going at it!!!

Waiting for a healthy team as the season wears on eh? Yea that's bound to happen, especially with the oldest team in the league.

Knicks also haven't played much lately and it was an afternoon game. Big win for Brooklyn but I think the Knicks are ok.
Hahn is right. Players don't want it as much as the fans. No sense of urgency early. Out rebounded by 15
