Just a few positive observations.
When melo passes we are hard to beat he needs to keep it up for us to be successful
Talk about glue Ron baker is the ultimate glue guy. With that kind of defense and chemistry builder we need more baker from now on out .. Jennings take a seat
Thomas is finally looking like he is healthy bringing top notch defense and finally hitting his open shots . If Thomas is 100% healthy, watch out we just got our sixth man back.
Noah is becoming more of a factor on both ends of the floor he is a pure chemistry guy and is starting to bring it on defense. Melo is starting to find him wide open that dunk over the Greek was awesome.
Thank god for porzingod what can we say the kid is our star we need him healthy without him we suffer on both ends of the floor ... he out played the Greek and stopped him big time. He had a big time game on national television and if he's stopping the Greek and scoring on him at will. He needs to be a all star cause he is a all star turining into a super star.
Hopefully we can build on this win and take down Indy tonight!
All hail porzingod, all hail dad melo, all hail Ron sticky glue baker
Back to baker let me just say this kid did so much more on defense then the stat sheet showed he was the main reason we held the bucks to 15 pts in the fourth . His ability to have his hand on every defensive possession is remarkable he altered so many shots, offensive plays for the bucks it's mind boggling. I suggest if you have DVR or recorded the game just watch baker the whole time and you'll see what I'm talking about. This kid is a defensive mastermind the exact player we've been missing . We need to play Ron baker and play him big time. He benefits everyone on the floor, I haven't that kind of defensive awareness since Gary Payton/Scottie pippen ... hate to throw out hall of fame names but this kid has IT on defense, it's too big to play small minutes.
I wanted to replace Lee with Baker. Just felt that this team needs a facilitator more than scoring. Baker has good vision keeps his man in front of him. He can shoot too. I find him to be the perfect compliment to Rose more so than Lee. Lee can really benefit from coming off the bench. I'm not a Jennings fan he can't shoot and his defense is ok at best.
More Baker gets play the better for the Knicks keep using him give him minutes and good things will happen.
Baker's contract becomes guaranteed after Jan 10th. That might have been a bit of his audition last nite.
Kudo's to Rose in first and Third periods where start of each the Knicks did really well and Rose played well.
Melos ball movement was decisive and led to easy baskets!
Melo played the whole 4th period and looked gassed, but as Collins mentioned, Bucks got into bonus quickly and that stopped play.
The freak is still that and a bit of a spazz at times. KP looks far more refined!!! Still more hype then substance to this kid, but he is still raw. Thurs nite the Freak giveth, and last nite he turn it over with thomas making great defensive dive in the ball! Jabari Parker is impressive.
Rest of Milwaukee is OK, long way to go still but I get the hype. The Freak might be special.

Melo needs to bottle this performance and sell every game. It works and it take his game to another level. The level that transcends scoring. Big game by Melo like to see more consistently.

Two in a row where he filled the stats sheet but he needs KP and it helps when the team plays like they did last night.
Thomas healthy was a big plus. WE don't need PJ tucker if Lance can stay on the court.
And we don't need to scour the waiver wire as Baker might fill that need!
Its a process and this team with all its yoots and new faces takes time.
KP on the floor is Yooooge!
Its only ONE game.. Lets not put these guys in the HOF yet. Lance sucked 2 games ago, couldn't hit the ocean with his shot. Baker, played 1 quarter of 1 game. Equine has shown flashes then sucks again. We need players doing it EVERY game.

Yeah, he needs to average near a triple double or we should just trade him and his NTC for a second rounder and a cup of coffee.
Amazing how things change.
Bet we're back to can his over selfish azz again now.
