Let's keep the 10000000482992% 3 Pt shooting up!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!!
this whole month of dec the knicks should do well, even with the lousy way things have gone for the most part. no elite teams till 12/25, and its the only 1
I want to see the return of the entire mix of plays this team was running when they started last year. The base spread offense with Melo in the post, but also the Horns sets, Triple screen, Scissor Hand of, Down Screen and curl plays, PnR and PnP. There is so much this team has the ability to be doing so that they aren't predictable and can play highly efficient BB. Let's see Woody get this thing really cranked up.
This is the period where wins should rack up for the team.
Might wanna start playing some defense though, those threes arent falling every game.
It's not just about the 3's. It's also about running good sets and getting everyone involved. This idea that you can't hit wide open 3's with good ball movement is just dumb. You have to have a well balanced offense but if a team can't cover the entire floor then you take advantage. Any good team is going to have good 3pt shooting in addition to other areas of the floor. The Knicks have a very good mid range shooter in Bargs, post up player in Melo and should get some PnR with STAT and eventually Tyson when he comes back. Mix that with some drives to the basket and this team should be well rounded.

What about defense?

stop trying to jinx us!
This is a must win game (aren't they all!)- Celtics are top of the division, a win would put them on the same number of losses as us.
I'm concerned about us coming out lethargic- we've just had a back to back Thursday and friday and now we have a mid day game sunday, so assuming yesterday was a rest day, we've had no practice time.
Then we have another back to back Tues, Wed, one day off then ANOTHER back to back Fri, Sat. So I don't think the schedule is as easy as I first thought- the opponents are all beatable, but that's a lot of games.
Wow... the Celtics are 9-12? I didn't realize what a powerhouse they had become in the east!
I don't know about you guys... but I'm not going to happy unless we beat them by 30 points.
I'll be happy with a 1 point w just as long as they get the w. Heading to the game with my son.
12 pm start, I hope jr wasn't at "club stupid" last night..
Early start, orange uniforms and a change to the starting line up.

#Knicks will start Felton, Shumpert, Hardaway, Anthony and Bargnani today; Kenyon Martin (sore left ankle) will not dress.
Have to wonder if Cole gets minutes today. Amare looked gimpy at the end of the game on Thursday.

Urgh! Not having K-Mart will hurt.
I keep wishing we still had Sheed this season.
Great, we've forgotten everything we did the last two games!

A 30 year old Sheed would put us in the NBA Finals
Jesus, it's going to be a typical orange jersey blow out
Wow...no ball movement, no attempt to go to the rim.
