Nice pass to Jose by KP.....Without meantioning names, somebody else would've force that shot with time running out.....

Didn't this happen before to Melo, when he was sidelined and Linsanity was born. Then when he came back, he started playing better with Lin......Hopefully Melo can talk KP into playing his game, without thinking too much.....KP is using all instincts today, without thinking too much.

Btw, KP6 playing like a number 1 option in this game. 23 points so far!

This group is all about team goals. Also, I dont recall any opponents in the linsanity stretch that compares to the cavs.

an afflalo sighting. such a weird player
magicTs @ 12/23/2015 8:45 PM
Better not sit KP for long here or the game will quickly be lost.

Lopez giving us nothing on the defensive end yet again

A lot of you on this board under estimate the talent we have on this team

Not really....When you don't have that person you can rely on, you tend to take ownership in your own skills. You play as a team, instead of looking for the same person on every possession. Also, there's nobody on the team that verbally demands the ball.....So everybody is playing loose.

dk7th @ 12/23/2015 8:46 PM

it's a chicken and egg phenomenon though, isn't it?

Knicks have won the 2nd and 3rd quarters tonight.

In 30 games, they have now won at least 2 quarters about 25 times.

Does anyone else think this significant (?)

SocraticBallin22 @ 12/23/2015 8:49 PM
With LT starting, he has played some really good D on Lebron, and he's contributing on the offensive end. His game has really evolved.

Phil Jackson has done a very very underrated job in the team he put together. Melo's a great scorer, but he's not a playmaker for teammates natutally or makes teammates around him better. If he were, this team would be an eastern conference contender - 50 wins type. Melo creates mostly for Melo, and thus it doesn't fully utilize players around him.
