was it just me or did that previous attack smell of a foul on Melo?

doesn't matter much, Melo answers with a fade-away :D
incredibile....31 points on 50% shooting with 14 rebounds and 2 assists and the 4th quarter is yet to be played.

Turned away to check in on Nets Pacers. Did Ray get hurt again or is it because Kyrie is having such a good game.

Kim reported that Ray's knee is bothering him and that he was limping. JR said at the half that everybody [on the court] was healthy except Ray. Apparently Ray is trying to play through it. Much like with the bone bruises and we all saw how that worked out.

Wow. Knicks need Ray for bigger games. I agree he might need to sit.

Can somebody tell me why White is not playing at this point? Why not protect one of our rotation players from injury?

Sorry, I meant Tina Cervasio. I crossed her with Kim Jones...lol.

But, yeah, Ray's knee isn't right.

JR smith is also beasting like crazy!
this reminds me of when JR was the one scoring 30+, Melo had very good games himself but got overshadowed by what JR was doing.
Right now JR is having some very good games himself, but is overshadowed by what Melo is doing.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter though, they're both playing the best basketball of their lives and we're lucky to be witnessing it :)

I just hope the Knicks can keep JR, due to Woodson and the fact that JR seems to love it here I can see that happening, I just wonder (since they won't be able to pay him a lot the next season) could they make a deal in some sort of way like Lin's? One where he pockets less the first season, but his salary jumps up the year after that, etc.?

It's not worth an injury and we have an EIGHTEEN point lead.

With a win and a Pacer loss do the Knicks clinch?

Rest Kidd.

nope...1 more game needed due to the possible tie-breaker going to the Pacers depending on who wins the next game (they're 2-1 against the Knicks)
