Well Coached Game
Another well-coached game by Mike 'Antoni.
chalk it up to a young squad trying to learn the intricacies of the SSOL,
and a new group of players trying to get a feel for the team.
Excellent substitutions, just no follow through by the young players.
Bill Walker looking fantastic on the bench, even better play by Roger Mason Jr, with 2 whole points;
amazing how his +/- can be -11 in 11 minutes. Good idea by coach to give Jr. a shot, he needs the confidence boost.
Moscov played better than usual, even when he's benched for a quarter at a time, but those 17 minutes were special.
Anthony Randolph with another special 11 minutes, contributing a solid 2 points and 4 aggressive rebounds.
15 assists by a young aggressive Knick team, we can only get better.
Excellent game from STAT, if everyone is going to stand around, you might as well drive straight ahead into the defense, bang those knees!!
2 amazing assists!
Great beginning to game by Gallinari with massive dunk, another dunk forthcoming in fourth quarter when game was just about out of reach.
Only 1 3-point attempt in 37 minutes by the Italian Stallion, he's learning!
Another fine defensive effort, and that's what really counts. Effort.
Keeping the Rockets just above 100 points is ahelluva lot better than 122 points.
Luis Scola looking like David Lee, with 24 pts, 8 rebs, 5 assists, and we all know he sucks, and so glad he's gone.
Jordan Hill, thank god he's gone too, that amazing dunk on the run was lucky, and he was lucky to have +/- of + 12 in 16 minutes.
Kevin Martin with a lucky game.
The good news is we are bound to start hitting our 3's, as we're missing so many, the tide is bound to turn soon. I'd say 1 out of every 3-4 games we're due to have a good shooting game. probably against the clippers. there's no way someone as fragile as blake griffin will torch this team, Mike 'Antoni's gameplan is sure to come through!! It's not his fault we're losing, it's all about the players he's playing not coming through! He's telling them to do what they do best, they need no game plan. It's all about gelling halfway through the season, we just have to wait for the players to get it together and understand what Mike wants out of them.
Go Knicks!! Go Mike 'Antoni!
