I will be at this game.

Also this is kinda related. I was at some club last night and guess who I see in there. None other than Jr Smith,Shump, and Kenyon so if they come out sluggish we know why.

interesting imigrated girl which is living in Toronto 4 years says there is no nightlife in Toronto


plus i saw interview Felton once says that they left city @ 3:30 in morning to go to Ny. SO where is time for partying and then 30% shooting.
 
This is the kind of game that good effort, good team ball, and veteran stability should be able to carry us through, even on the road. As always, we have to try to avoid letting some bench scrub who averages 2.1 PPG go off for 30 against us. Good start so far, but need to keep it going and maybe actually put somebody away for real before the closing minutes. Let's go Knicks!
 
Great half for us, especially the 2nd quarter. Defense has been superb. Need to keep it up coming out of the half and demolish these guys to continuing getting some swagger back.

Speaking of which, I'm just going to go ahead and leave my wallet here on the ground in this thread while I'm away for the half. I'm fairly certain it will be safe since no one is actually around.
 
We'll we're in the playoffs, so that's something. KMart playing great and showing that an interior threat can be huge with our style of play (remember Amare's super high FG percentage games not too long ago). We need to keep everyone left healthy, get Chandler back, and maybe we can still make some noise this season.

ha ha U ain't lying. 11 posts in a game thread but props to you for supporting the game threads.

Toronto is playing less than .500 ball since getting Rudy, that's unreal I had them as a borderline playoff team with all the athletes they gave. Beating the Raps, Jazz and Magic is good but we need to beat Boston to prove anything.

+1

Boston is down 8 with about 2 minutes left against Dallas as I type this ..... so looks like we are adding to our division lead.

Ill be at the Boston Garden Tuesday night for the game, my girls aunt manages a bank and gave me 4 tickets in a box.....can't wait to go haven't seen my Knicks in person since the season finale in Boston back in 99/2000 right before we went on that playoff run as the 8th seed......hopefully we get similar results this year as well!!!!


We beat Boston Tuesday night, and we have a clear path to the division title! LETS GO NYK!!!

EDIT: we will have a nice lead over Boston, Brooklyn is still on our ass.

Just back from the game.

A few thoughts.

K-MART= MONSTER. Simply do not win that game minus Mr.Martin.

Melo went for 37 but bit worried as his knee is clearly not right. Not sure how it looked on TV but from my POV at the ACC he's a playing through some serious knee pain.

Pray Camby can stay healthy, different team when Camby on the floor. Overall not pretty but great too see Knicks clinch a playoff spot live.

Meh to guys who said we shouldn't sign Martin because he didn't play one year.
Move Melo to SF, play Chandler and Martin together. DEFENSE!

I thought everyone knew .. Felton was suspended for 4 to 6 weeks early in the season for averaging 19 shot attempts per in all our first 28 games of the season (20-8 record), Felton was in complete control of our offense the first 28 games of the season. Plus Amare Stoudemire were suppose to return on our 27th game of the season, but coach Woodson held Amare Stoudemire return to the 31st game this season when Felton started his suspension.
Strange Coincidence!

Amare's first 12 to 14 games were without Felton in any of his lineups .. Amare only played 29 games this season. WHY? What did Felton & Amare do to comeback from a 22 point deficit in Cleveland? Samething Lebron did!!!

Plus when Felton return from the so-call pinky-fracture injury, Felton was no longer allowed to control or lead the point.
Felton new job was to bring the ball upcourt and pass it before he got to the top of the key.
Felton no-longer took 19 shots per game, Felton's shot attempts were reduce to 5 to 7 shots per game.
Felton could either take those 5 to 7 shot attempts or assist Amare with those attempts if Woody put Amare in a lineup with Felton.

Felton's last 27 game performance is completely not the same performance Felton gave us the first 28 games of the season.
Big Props goes out to Kenyon Martin outstanding performance lastnight 19 pts, 11 rb, 2 stl, 1 blk, and 1 turnover, are simular to what Martin average playing with Jason Kidd as a Nets. Sad to say, but Kenyon Martin could never give half that performance with Melo in Denver...

Agree Fatton is too slow in defense. He has lose on weight.
Also I hate his lob shots, which don't lands in basket.
