Unfortunately I couldn't catch most of the game as I had some issues with the NBA Game Time app on my Xbox, but it was a great win nonetheless.

This is clearly a game they would not have been able to win last season.
added a couple more grey hairs but....we win
16-2 when Woody's boys hold the opposition under 100 points.
some thoughts on this game:
Knicks barely scraped out the win. if not for Melo's 4Q heroics, this would have been a loss
against a pretty good team playing without one of the best rebounders/scorers
in the league in KLove. Damn Peckerbitch is a beast! the Man Handler could NOT contain him!
Alexy Shred is a good damn baller! thanks Metro for giving him up to me in Fantasy. It killed me
to see him and Ridnour, my other Min fantasy player, keep dishing, swishing and racking up points.
for 3Q, it seemed Knicks were sleepwalking, Melo not hitting, Brewer and Kidd invisible,
Chandler not bounding, Felton missing, Novak doing nothing... only JR seemed to have the gas
the make things happen, driving, hitting, diming. another great game for Swish.
but the 4Q proved to be the turning point, with Melo coming alive and the Knicks playing D.
even Felton hit some shots, 7-15, 15 pts, 2 bounds, 2 dimes, 1 steal (4 TO) in 39 minutes.
as opposed to Kidd, who Felton haters are screaming to start at PG, 0-3, 0 points, 6 bounds, 2 steals, 1 dime in 34 minutes.
even coach Wood Son said Felton is going thru a tough period, playing hurt, but he's sticking with him.
but there are so many wannabe GM's on this board who know better than Woody and just complain.
Clyde Frazier saying how Felton has both hands wrapped after games, the broadcasting team making
a point that the man is playing hurt. but he's a bulldog who i still think is one of the best PG's as far
as lane penetration is concerned. his easy missed shots will start falling again, and his 3 shot will return.
believe in Felton, believe in Wood Son, believe in a winning Knicks team.
if 20-6 is something to complain about, you've got problems.
don't know why Copeland sat the whole game, along with Priggy who only got 4 minutes.
that is a winning combo that needs to be exploited when starters are resting. IMHO.
I really didn't know if Knicks were gonna pull this one out, there were points when Minny just
couldn't miss. thankfully there are 4 quarters, and Melo needs to keep shooting no matter what.
a tough win on the home court. as we edge closer to the new year, we edge closer to
the return of STAT and SHUMP and GUMBY. let's hope Knicks can stay true to form for
west coast trip and kick some ass in 2013.
merry christmas everyone!
i hope they wont play agaist Lakers like vs Bulls and Rockets
felton and his TO MANY brainless shots.
why copeland is not playing
novak is playing less and less
brewer looks like is making only 3s
we need sheed back
why thomas is playing instead copelan
Lakers are now stronger in offence Nash Gasol but i read that they still playing no D Bobcats Warriors could with against them .
1 thing we were loosing with Bulls even 27 but Hawks simply destroyed them and its was 25 in 3q i dont get that.
Waste of time to make such comparisons.
Heat have lost to the Wizards, Rockets lost to the Laughtors.
Most games come down to which side excuses the crucial fundamentals i.e D, turnovers and focus. For the Knicks all about defence. 16-2 record when the boys hold opponents under 100 points, 4-5 record when conceding 100 or more points.
Ray should try to settle a little more often, his fade away shots, off the screen jumpers or tear drops make him look careless and have a negative impact on his shooting percentage. IMO that's what bigapple was trying to say and it's hard not to admit he has some point.
Felton has bad shot selection, book it!
Half of his jumpshots are bad, sometimes those shots fall in, but most of them? Only shake head. It looks like I don't know his passing for alley oop to invisible guy or making shot.
I think you guys confuse taking too many shots with bad shot selection. There is a difference.
No we don't confuse, sometimes Felton takes shots in not good moments.
