NBA TV is stealing my money right now, game is impossible to watch since the 2nd quarter ... maybe better like the knicks are playing but still what a shame ... i have to watch a low quality streaming elsewhere while NBA TV is trying to solve their bug issues ... F---!

Melo always has to throw it all the way back out and by that time, there's like 5 secs on the clock. Things have to change when Melo gets doubled. Guys have to move there feet, work harder, give Melo some better opportunities to pass the ball to cutters. When's the last time Melo has hit a cutter for an easy 2? I can't remember...It's either a high P&R for a Bargnani 3 or he gets doubled and has to pop it all the way back out as the clock is expiring...WTF is that???
I was gonna post this but did not want to put the effort into it. If the Knicks did not give effort why should I.

also thank god we wasted a roster spot on chris smith instead of another big man
He's paid for the year. Time to put the garbage out.
It pisses me off, every time I see him on the bench. Just shows that the Knicks are not a serious organization.
I can't agree enough...Cut this Chris Smith already -- he got his money, the Knicks took care of him...This would be a perfect game for Ike Diogu. Let him go down there and just do work...Melo, Ike and Bargnani would be a good mix right now to attempt a comeback in this game. Where's K-mart btw??? What's he got the day off? Come on...

we haven't looked prepared in any game this season..
A starting center cant go a half without a rebound.
Finestrg wrote:What Bargnani said the other night on his postgame interview (paraphrasing): "we're free to do whatever we want on offense as long as we play defense" is just not good enough. We need so kind of structure out there. It's just a mess.
On teams that seem efficient with their offensive flow, some kind of penetration into the paint seems like SOP.

That's Bargnani's game --
Offense: B- (hopefully we get it to where it's a consistent B+ or better eventually)
Defense: varies between C and C+
Rebounding: D to F

Hard to rebound when the other team is scoring almost every time down. Layups, 3pt'ers and FT's. Most of the misses are bouncing away from the paint cuz they're taking 3's. That's the LEAST of our problems today.

Agreed. The Spurs are a first class organization so its toughh not to envy their fans
It's being done in our faces, and they expect us to accept and respect this.
The only way Bargnani could have a good rebounding game is if the other Knicks aren't getting beat so easily repeatedly. He's trying to defend Duncan and you think he's gonna have it easy covering for his teammates and blocking out Duncan?
Who takes out Bargs for Amar'e on a defensive possession? That's beyond terrible.

Woodson is a bad coach. He is making the same mistakes that he made the first playoffs he was in with the Knicks. People are blinded by how bad of a coach he is by his regular season records.

Right now Woodson is slumping even more than his players!!! I think he was trying to preserve any fouls for Bargs at the end of the half, but still. Woody is looking AWFUL in terms of preparing his team and setting rotations. He had JR, STAT and Beno out there with THJ at the same time!!! WTF!
Why don't we run plays? We need a real coach. With a playbook. That will run plays. Also, that was a very blatant non-call on that goaltend in the 1st quarter. . .

Maybe it's this game, but I can't put a finger on what's worst. His offense game plans or his defensive schemes.
As poor as weve played, were down 16. I'm not feeling too bad about that.
