I feel like it's been a constant of Melo-era Knicks teams to take the foot off the neck and start playing not to lose once they have a lead of about 10 points with under five minutes to go.

I think this will be the case all season.....Until KP learns how to keep his foot on the gas. Melo needs KP to be Batman.

That's the NBA. Sometimes you have feel good losses. And sometimes you have icky wins.

I feel pretty good about this game.

KP had fricking 29pts and 11rebs. Those are franchise player numbers. Melo had 29pts and 13 rebs last game. When was the last time we had two players this good at the same time?

if they had scored just 2 or 3 points in that 5 minutes stretch I would be okay . . .

Nah it wasn't ISO MELO. The Knicks just didn't get great shots but it was also the Hornets D was taking away the basic looks the Knicks wanted and made them take tough shots and they didn't drop.

The more confident Carmelo gets, the better he will finish the forth. He is our closer; as the season progresses, we will improve Asa team. I am loving our big 3

It is an exciting time to be a Knick fan.

Again

Just think about the fact that we have KP6 and Melo for the next three years. They'll learn how to close these teams out and find the way to get buckets when they need them.

I honestly think the "Por-Zin-Gis" chants unnerved the team a little bit. They didn't score in-between those chants and when KP came back in the game to his those FTs.
