it is just cramps
Let's hope --- didn't look like there was much there when he hurt it a few mins. ago, right? Came down flat-footed on both feet...Weird.

How is it good to use your last timeout with over a minute left, possession and up 3?
Come on man -- whether you like the dude or not, he's been better tonight. Be fair...
Glad they won but it was a brutal game.
Really liking this Khris Middleton. Real nice looking player. Dude doesn't play like a rookie.

I think he gets hyped up for facing drew.
Okay... just gotta keep Bargs away from the ball...

I don't dislike him. But seriously, his use of timeouts tonight was bad. It was like he was showing us he knew there were such things.

Are we leading the division yet?
Well, if we don't win the playoffs this year . . . we beat the Bucks in 2OT! And, bonus!, Smith and Anthony got to work on shooting the basketball through the hoop!
Watching Beno . . . I'm not sure we need a solid PG as much as we need coachable players and, doh, a coach. Beno's not terrible.

I think he just finally started practicing what he's been preaching, or trying to preach anyway....He jumps all over his players but the fact remains he's been as bad or worse than his players the whole year. Finally looked like tonight he was determined to do whatever it took to get the win -- his substitution patterns were on point and he utilized his timeouts well. Woody finally coached desperate and I think it helped us tonight.

It helped that Metta was a beast on the defensive end. Hopefully he starts getting more minutes.

What does that mean? The man called many timeouts to supply direction and guidance. There was one play down the stretch somewhere where Metta came up with a big rebound and Woody and Herb were screaming at him to advance the ball past the timeline and call timeout...Good call right there...When you have a team filled with such low IQ guys, you gotta do that. He ended the game with 3 timeouts the other night and we lost. You get a full allotment of timeouts -- USE 'EM!! Well he did tonight, to good effect I thought.
Woody also finally cracked and used Murry. I UNDERSTAND it was more out of necessity but still...The kid got a taste and I thought he looked good. He plays very composed for the most part and his defense is an asset. The fact that he's not terrible looking offensively AND at running the team are further pluses...There's no question Murry can help us. Hopefully the ankle's OK by Sat. afternoon. A couple of days for Chandler and Murry to rest up on the minor injuries they suffered tonight, we get STAT back, hopefully Martin back soon too...Just go from there.
Well, that was fun. Knicks win! The Knicks win! Good night.
I've jumped all over Chandler for being overrated in the past but tonight, he really showed his worth. Gotta give that dude credit as well. He had a huge impact on this game defensively and on the glass..

He was great his first year and overrated last year. In all the games he has played this season he has been like his first year.
Woody gave Murry some props.
