Bayless buries us at the line. Don't get me wrong, it's a bad loss, but it became an exciting game, which is worth something when your team is more or less continuing to play lottery ball. We can build on this game, even if our season continues to become more and more of a lost cause.

Shump was awesome.
I feel more positive than other lost games that were close, probably because it was the defense that lead the way (lead by Shumpert). I'm interested in what Calderon will do. He could be significant if he's healthy.

The Bucks outrebounded the Knicks 44-28, even with Pachulia replacing starting center Larry Sanders (bruised thigh) at the last minute.
"They wanted it at times a little bit more than we did," Knicks coach Derek Fisher said. "It wasn't until the third quarter really started to get out of hand that we started to put the right mindset into playing with a sense of urgency."
(AP Recap)
“Our offense was coming so easy it put us in a mindset we didn’t have to get stops,” Fisher said. “The challenge is being a team where defense is how to win. Tonight we didn’t believe defense was how to win until we got behind.”

we've been building for how many years now???? when r we going to be ready to move-in??
I totally agree, but the last "rebuild" gave us a division title and 2 seed in the East two seasons ago, so there was some payoff for a team that had previously been a league-wide joke (and now is back to being one for now at least). I'm not saying that was good enough given the time it took to get there and how it only lasted one season, but yes, we've moved into another building period for this team. At least this time around we have a couple young guys, an upcoming 1st round draft pick, and immediate cap relief at the end of this season. It's PJ's job to do something with all that as soon as possible.
