Game Recap
Knicks 98 - Kings 105

After Houston's statements today about the Knicks defence needing to improve it will be great test for them against a Western Conference power like the Kings who have a great blend of inside and outside offence.

For real I think the last time Sacremento won at MSG was in 95 or 96! Even when the Knicks were in their dark ages. Let's not break the streak tommorrow!

It's not that Tim Thomas can't defend him, it's just the effort he has to put in. He has all the tools to shut him down, he's huge at 6'10 for a SF so putting a hand in Peja's face is made easier, he's also quick and athletic enough to get by the screens and stick with him but guarding Peja is easier said then done.

I am getting frustrated now! And I put the clutch time blame on Tim Thomas blowing the three and a lay-up. TRADE TIM! I'm sure Jalen Rose for Tim could work. Toronto doesn't want him. We don't want Tim. I've said it time time and time again, I have no faith in Tim Thomas. Not to say this game was soley his fualt. Just he was a big part of it......

VERY VERY DISSAPOINTING!

what a horrible game down the stretch for the knicks. missed FT's, tt missing crucial shots, etc etc no defense

Knicks got a good run together in the 3rd quater. Ariza had some really good plays. Steph dropped 17 in that stretch. They were out of energy in the 4th, and all of our big men were either in fould trouble (K.Thomas 5, Williams 5, Mohammed 4), injured (Sweetney), or wasnt helping (Sundov), which is why Webber had some good shots that hurt us. Mike Bibby had a BIG shot in crunch time. He hit the 3 over Williams and Marbury. Overall good effort but fatigue, turnovers and free-throws cost us the game.
