While the Knicks are playing damn near pathetic, part of it is because Phillys showin why there 7 and 2
point lead...aThanks, and very well said, we have struggled with Brand and 76ers, and with TC and Shumpert these are the games I'd like to see swing in our favor this year.
And RunningJumper, thankfully indeed, I'm stuck watching on pc again cuz Time Warner, but no electric would really wrecked my night so I can imagine your anxiety
Nice win all considered...We just beat a pretty good team here..Nice job.
Yeah, it's always going to be something that makes us fans doubt our team. When they played the Wiz, it was we why did we squeak by a winless team, with Philly it's they're playing their 3rd straight and are tired.Anyways, we beat the team with the best overall performance so far in this season, that's always positive. On the other hand, we were rested and they were playing their third straight.
The Knicks really messed it up towards the end of the fourth quarter. This team has still yet to show that it can really close out games...the turnovers in the 4th quarter were painful to watch. A win is a win, though.
That being said I do have to point attention to one thing - the Knicks, in this game, did not win by relying on exclusively scoring. They did not simply win by outscoring the opponent with high shot volume. They played defense and they got stops and forced turnovers. They OUTREBOUNDED the other team (which is something that never happens), we had good rebounding from MTA and Shumpert finally is seeing the fruits of his crappy shot selection - some of the shots he chucked up in the 4th quarter were painful.
That being said, I think the Knicks can take away a lot from this game. Namely how to better utilize STAT at his fullest extent - the guy was a MONSTER tonight...10 boards, 20 points on 57% shooting...
