KOQ made Reggie Miller drool with that Kevin Mchale low post move! lol

Good defensive battle!!!
Melo channeling his inner Bernard King!!!
Phil has mindphucked Melo into it!!!!

Melo was incredible in that 2nd. Phils mind games at work?
67 points in the half
Another new season record for points in a half for us (last night we did same)

Just defend the 3 point shot and we may win.

Considering the start a 1 point lead is nice

Thank you, Melo, for raising up your trade value again for us.

You too, KO!

Well, we are only playing on one side for most part. The second unit showed some good defensive sequences, got some stops. But we are being owned by the PnR. Wall makes us look like Swiss cheese

We should let Wall and Gortat go off.
It's the 3 point shooters that are killing us

KG, "No reason you shouldn't be able to put people around Melo, its New York" Dont think he has followed our recent history.

Yep, three pointers are killing us. And PnR defense. Make Gortat make some jumpers.

This game looks fun.

However, I prefer Knicks win a game under 90 points.

Knicks seem to just not fully have their defensive scheme in the front of their minds. They need to ICE the PnR and when the ball is swung they need to have a clear idea of how they will rotate and close out to shooters. They keep making the mistake of fully commiting to stop the ball handler in the PnR but TOTALLY forgetting the ROLL MAN!

Didnt pick it as part of my game pack. Thought back to back and a possible bad showing at Boston would of made for a tired effort. Agree though, nice when we had those good defensive teams. Althogh I remember bitchin cuz we couldn't score back then.

Since when did KOQ become Dennis Rodman?!? He's hopping and skipping all over the court with Red Bull energy!

The Baker experiment was worth a try...Time to shut it down...
nyknickzingis @ 1/19/2017 9:24 PM
Melo and Rose play with too little defensive intensity
Offense getting stagnant as well

Horny putting in Lee and KP early.
