The Knicks came out flat against the Cavs. They allowed Cleveland to knock down 53 percent of its shots in the first half, including six of 11 3-pointers. New York was down by as many as 17 in the first half. And Tyson Chandler wasn't happy about it. He had a message for the rest of the Knicks at halftime.
"I just let my teammates know that if we really want to be true contenders, on nights like this we've got to show it. Nothing's going to come easy," said Chandler, who won a title with the Mavs last season.
Move without the ball, keep your head in the game, defend, take a charge________prove that you're worth $20M, take the Knicks where they need to be, or suffer being called an overrated loser. There's even a Facebook page declaring that you suck and are not worth your salary!
"We had a meeting today before practice with a doctor who talked about ways to help you sleep at night," Novak said. "It's like the energy, when we leave, it's like midnight, and you go home and we can't sleep. It's from the fans and the adrenaline. We're having trouble sleeping."
The Knicks' relaxation therapist, apparently, is relying on since-dismissed sleep-inducing options that even your parents have long since abandoned. According to team sharpshooter Steve Novak, who discussed as much on WFAN on Thursday, the players were advised to drink warm milk after a game to help them worm into a state of Rapid Eye Movement, an option that has been proven time and time again (whether you're a high schooler worried about the next day's test, Don Draper on Mad Men, or a 6-10 forward coming down from the high of nailing a bunch of threes on national TV) to not work.
Tyson Chandler has a habit of barking at refs and wrassling with his opponents, which has resulted in nine technical fouls in 36 games this season. In this lockout season, your thirteenth technical foul (and every two technical fouls thereafter) earns you a one-game suspension. Simply put: Tyson is well on pace to get suspended this year.
● The Mavs are incredibly methodical. Outside of a Nowitzki ISO, the Mavericks, as champions, know what to run when to run it. This cognitive approach has them out-assisting their opponents all this year and last. Something the Knicks should be doing, as I've whinged and whined about since last season's opener.
● Basically, as we saw in our last encounter, we did an excellent job of holding the Mavs to one shot. "Defense won us the day" was the be all and end all of that impressive win.
To be honest my Knick On UAV is JR Smith.
He defense surprisingly has been pretty good, however his offense has been decent at best.
His shots barely hit rim half the time and rarely goes in.
I love em but I need to see the crazy SOB from China.

Let's go Knicks squad! I hope to see Lin dominate this game; the kid needs some confidence after today

Lin will get his share of turnovers but he has to shoot more
Stop passing to useless amare i cant stand him blowing shots and getting blocked
Put Novak in over him once he starts bricking open shots

Def Chitown but that's not saying they would be any easier than playing Miami.
