We're lucky it's only 10-3....if Evans would've hit those open layups it'd be 16-3 already.
I think the team will eventually realize that Melo should be able to ABUSE salmons in the post and go to that.
Melo either scores or draw a double. Good things happen.
I just dont get why this team cant come out with fire in the first quarter. why do they wait until they are behind
Tonight is another must win for our Knicks.
With the Heat, Pacers, Nets and Celtics all having an off night? We now have a chance to gain on Miami while increasing our lead against the likes of Indy, Brooklyn and Boston.
Also, with Chicago and ATL going at it tonight? We'll gain a full game on the loser of this matchup. As of right now we're 2.0 ahead of Chicago and 3.5 ahead of ATL.
Due to this, I'll be pulling for an ATL victory over Atlanta. Would love to be a full 3.5 games ahead of Chicago moving forward.
I wonder how we'll look in the playoffs when we'll have to constantly waste energy fighting back after a slow start.

Sacramento switched and we had Cousins guarding Melo..who then just passed the ball and we chucked another 3. I am confused
This is such bad play that I can only just laugh.

Good Point. Im also sick of the threes. Honestly we havent shot the ball well from 3 since mid december. Instead of chucking lets try to drive to the basket like other teams do
Need more interior scoring and better D.

Some say it's being "lazy" but I see it differently. I see it as opposing teams being pumped the fk up heading into our Knick games but once the Knicks feel these guys out during the first quarter? We then dominate the remaining three quarters and especially the 2nd half.
It's not about how you start during the first quarter, but how you adjust and how you finish games. The Knicks may not come out guns blazing, but when it's all said and done with? We adjust and win the games.

It's gonna be tough though :D I heard ATL is a tough matchup for Atlanta :D
I miss Melo's 1st quarter scoring outbursts....remember the Laker game? :D

Dude... It's the first quarter.
Ever heard of teams feeling each other out? I guess not...

This is such a lame answer.
We're winning games based on talent alone recently, not because we are playing well.

Sorry, but 29-15 says otherwise and it's not a sign of an "inconsistent" team.
The only thing that's inconsistent about these Knicks is our fan base...

Felton is something very special.
Melo to Amar'e followed by J.R to Amar'e!!!!!
Like I said... Have you EVER heard of teams feeling one another out?
"FIRST QUARTER"
Too funny.
