nope, penny started. im watching da game right now. CURRY BLOCKED a layup!! and the ALLEY OOP 2 open the 2nd quarter was hot too. so far great game. curry w/ 3 fouls prior 2 remaining 9mins in da 2nd. and ariza just had a breakaway. TIME OUT DALLAS!
good half guys. Curry is hurt thats why is he playing limited mins, he had a MRI but everythings okay. Penny is playing the SF by the way, not Barnes. anyone think their tryin to show that Penny can still play before they ship him? haha
i think i see our starting lineup brewing from the preseason games..
C Eddy Curry, PF Antonio Davis, SF Trevor Ariza, SG Jamal Crawford, PG Stephon Marbury...
good to see Craw playing the right way, im very impressed by Davis' ability to finally show up and play with all thats on his mind.
JJ in 11 minutes and off an injury is 0-4 with 2 rebounds and 1 block..cant judge him on this one game especially off injury but id still like to see more..
great outing for everyone pretty much, even curry with the bad shoulder. glad Mo stepped it up, Ariza and Nate man I tell ya. Need to nail those free throws though D-Lee. Wish I could of saw more of JJ but im sure when hes healthy we will (5 bucks says the paper will be filled with JJ was a horrible pickup by Isiah reports as told by 15 minutes coming off an injury thats NY FOR YA!)...anyhow
ill have to defend JC here. besides for that 5.7 second needed shot at the end of the game he had an awesome showing. 37 minutes, 3-9 shooting, 4-4 ft, only 3 threept attempts, 8 rebs, 4 assist, 1 steal and 11 pts..i think he wants to be on good terms with coach larry..
this game really showed us where exactly nate is at regarding his game skills and awareness. the big players dont go hard during the preseason. but yea hey, im pretty exited bout the knicks progress. there were a few bad kalls from da refs. the game woulda been alot better if da knicks won, but leave it to crawford to airball the last shot. props to ariza tho on that inbound play w/ frye.
u also gotta remember 2 of those misses came to try to beat the clock.....1 wus a 3 pointer...maybe 2 were.......and then the last shot.......so he really only looked for his shot 6 times
good 1st half, terrible 3rd quarter, comeback in the 4th but just not enough...knicks must learn to win these close games, that was a major problem they had last year
but what bothers me the most is that third quarter when they seem to just shut down...this isnt the first time thats happened
