Just a very pleasing TEAM WIN! Everyone stepped up to close the game out.

with sasha and thomas?

Yeah..They played with poise to close out Washington...KP and Grant isn't ready yet..

Both KP and Grant looked a little shook up tonight from the get-go. Not really sure why. They looked confident enough during the previous 2 games.


Washington is very physical. Also, Wall/Beal is a great back court.

KP had a great defensive presence altering shots and forcing bad mid range shots... This kid is going to be a defensive stud

Yeah. He belongs in the nba. He is a tough kid.

Yes! Yes! Knicks WIN!
Galloway 3 game performance showed great consistency
Gallo gets my vote for starter over Afflalo .. im saying it now
fitzfarm @ 10/31/2015 9:04 PM
We are a different team this year! Galloway is ThE ice man!

Yeah, not really a big deal when it ends up with a W. Rookie nerves will show up now and then.

Did not see Porzingis being "shook up," Not sure what game you were watching...honestly.

Grant is too deferential on offense...has to take the shot when it is there.

yeah ... holfresh just likes picking on him. I have no idea what they expect from him. He took 6 shots and hit 3 of them. He also played some really good defense. Made many smart plays. He does not hold the ball at all which makes him a really good team player.

maybe its just me but I think beal is a bit overrated

Yes, i notice KP & Lopez are learning from O'Quinn every game .. the first half of each game KP & Lopez are lost, in the 2nd half of the game they step out of a phone-booth

You could see the confidence Galloway had on that huge 3 with the hop step to get in rhythem.

I love Gallo but I would like to see Afflalo for a few games. Not ready to make decisions based on three games. I have always liked Afflalo. Love Galloway. Glad they are both Knicks. Balanced lineups. Whatever gets the wins.

I said from the get-go. He looked a little shook. He wouldn't impose his will towards the basket, he took off too early for a dunk and had to adjust with bad results, got knocked to the floor by a much smaller guy. That's what I saw. A little shook up. Not criticizing the guy, so relax. Just calling it like I saw it. It happens. He's a rookie. No biggie.

Believe me Galloway decision-making improve tremendously over the offseason, above Afflalo decision making performance

Deep seated hatred of the Latvians, I think...

...As a former teacher, though, I'm more upset/surprised about his use of "isn't" instead of "aren't."
