Man, we're damn lucky to only be down 3 the way we played. Turned the game on late when it was 10-7 us. From there on I thought we looked pretty bad. So many unforced turnovers, bad shots, uneven defense and not getting any consistent scoring besides Melo and D-Rose it seemed (I did think Holiday looked good though--that kid needs to play). Only down 3 is a good sign for us--they can play a little better I suppose but we can play A LOT better.
Was closing a deal on a new ride, missed part of the second. Will say that Jennings was looking to pass more in preseason. He seems to be under the impression that he should play like a PG with the starters, but like an SG with the second unit. Hornacek has to get him out of that habit fast.
As long a we stop the turnovers we have a good shot.We may have to ride the starters more than expected at first
Uh-oh. Barkley just said "NY's bench is 'turrble'."

I think Hornacek was trying to stretch the 1st half rotation so he could play the starters more in the 2nd half.

They looked great the irst few minutes. Man it is nice to have a point guard with Rose's speed.

Not everyone but oquinn and Thomas are for sure

He also mentioned bringing KP off the bench.

he just needs a little more control sometimes. His speed has been great so far but the question will always be how long it lasts

The Knicks are counting on Thomas. Hopefully he can find his game again.

They have to learn to stay mentally strong as a team. Been a while since we've seen that.

This. I can give Thomas time and cut him some slack because he's a fairly intelligent player who can play solid defense. He also has been known to get into a rhythm in which he hits his shots. IMO KOQ hasn't earned nearly the same latitude.

bad turnovers = momentum swings = morale destroyers

Once Thomas knows his place in this rotation, I expect him to get his game back.

He was a little sloppy with the ball but scored some points which is what we really needed. I thought he looked pretty good overall. Hey he offered scoring which allowed us to keep pace with them. I thought we played much better with Rose than with Jennings. Again, both of our PGs and the whole team in general can play A LOT better. Gotta keep it close and then who knows..Let's see what happens here.
