Supposedly Shump is going to play but I would prefer to see JR start the game tonight and play the bulk of the minutes.

Heard about Cleanthony, damn he's hardly played many minutes and he needs a scope.

The pundits had the Bucks as the 2nd worst team in the EC but they ain't been that bad.
 
Thanks for the great game thread.

Interesting game tonight. If we really have figured some system level things out, we should be able to handle Milwaukee, even on their home court. If Sunday was a fluke for us, they have played well enough this season to run us out of the building. Let's go Knicks!
 
Pre-game show opens with both JR and Shump being in the starting lineup. I like this idea. Try to get the players who have been playing the best on the floor. Remainder of starting lineup is Melo, Dalembert, and Larkin, so we will be once again going with a small lineup, at least to start.
 
Offense definitely seems to be clicking, even if a lot of our scoring has had to come off second efforts. Defense wasn't there as that 1st quarter went along though. Until we can consistently defend against the driving PGs, we will continue to allow other teams to outscore their averages against us
 
Our offense has stalled altogether and our defense can't keep us in the game. This is quickly turning into a formula to get blown out. Our ball movement remains good, but with our shooters having gone cold, we're not going to have a chance when they're getting easy points in the paint.

That does say something about our 2 most minute played players in the first half. Plus being down 17

Jabari Parker couldn't get out of first round in NCAA Tourny... But he out dueling Melo tonight.

Every loss helps tho! Don't Score for Okafor!

Melo and JR are still leading with the most minute played on the court ..Knicks down 26 pts.
I dont want anyone to ever mention Melo at PF .. Dally jumping for the defensive rebound against 3 Bucks players.
It wont be long before Dally catch the Tyson Chandler blues .. we playing a 3 guard offense with Melo at PF, poor Dally n Stat
Nothing change ..Woodson
