Trust when I say Carter is tired... Sure he had 2 days rest before this game, but playing on such a high level for those certain amount of games puts alot of stress and work on the body. Dont get me wrong, he's gonna get his share of points, but if we make him work for them, they're not gonna be falling for long. The Nets offense flows through him so if he's off, theres a chance we could win, especially if curry comes back. He should dominate against the Nets weak frontline. Frye's been off lately. Expect a good game from him.

its time jamal started in front of quentin, sure the rebounding is there, but an early lead with crawfords offensive skills will win the game instead of playing catch up in the 3rd quarter

this is kidd's first opportunity of the season to see the best damn point guard in the nba...

yep... and jerome is the best damn center in the league...

bottom line i doubt the knicks will even be in the game by early in the 3rd quarter...

True but this is the Knicks, this is the Garden. If were very good teams are pumped for a challenged. If were bad like now, teams are waiting to pounce on us.

This just in: ESPN has placed the Knicks LAST! in their weekly power rankings.

Hey I can't blame them. But are we worse than the Bobcats, Hawks, Hornets, and Raptors?? Evidently..YES!

Things are only looking to get worse...are schedule is not exactly friendly for the next 2 weeks. Brace yourself Knick fans, for many of us, this will be lowest point of our fandom that we have ever encountered.

Is it just me, or was showering Stephon w/ boos a little harsh? I mean did anyone think we can even compete w/ the Nets??? And no matter what he says, we all know Kidd is 10x the point guard Stephon is. But i think we should keep the jeers off the court atleast. My love affair w/ Marbury ended a long time ago, but I feel bad for the guy. Dont get me wrong, I'm not defending him, but I just think the boos are a little much. Lets see the fans boo him off the team like they did to Don Chaney.

i believe larry brown is effecting marbury's...marbury in his whole career is a shoot first PG and now larry brown wants him to be a pass first....is it me or does is seem that jermone james gets more touches than curry....why do da knicks go away from the pick and roll with frye...wassup, im a da only one that sees larry brown is lost coaching the knicks..he doesnt know wat to do...knicks should be running, half court game should not be there game

That was the Knicks future out there on the court when they made that run, with the exception of Q-Rich. I hope all the Nate Haters can finally realize what so special about this guy. He brings energy and passion to the game that Knicks fans haven't seen in a while. I mean sure he can get a little wild and crazy, but he's come a long way from when he first started. The Knicks shouldve run the pick and pop more times with Frye. Curry and James need to learn when to pass out of the post. They're surrounded by defenders and they still try to score. It's not as if they cant see out of the post, because there taller than everyone else. Everytime James gets the ball, he does a hook or spin that comes up short. AND HE'S 7'1!! He should be put on the IR and let David Lee get some burn. Crawford should start with Nate coming off the bench as the 6th man. The reason the Knicks lose all these games is because they get buried early in the first and decide the fourth quarter is when to make their run. Sure that may work against some trashy teams, but If they're gonna get anywhere thats got to stop. We could've won, but there were a few stretches where the Knicks turned it over or didn't score. But I liked what I saw in that game.. at least in the 2nd half anyway. I hope Larry Brown see's this and makes some changes in the rotation for the next game. Hopefully Curry can stay healthy and make the chemistry better, by having everyone together at the same time.

The fans did the same to Ewing and Houston even when they were in their prime.....

Marbury is just getting the brunt of their boos because he like Ewing and H20 were the marquee players on the team...
Marbury needs another allstar sidekick.
Did any fans boo when Q went 1-7
Hit a fucking shot man!
Did anyone boo when Curry ALWAYS gets an offensive foul every time he touches the fucking ball in the post!!!
Did anyone boo when Jamal made 2 stupid turnovers in the final minutes when the knicks were making their run???

This shit Isiah put together is not helping him at all.
We can get Artest - fucking Isiah needs to trade Lee and get him.

Artest's energy and defensive presence with an added offensive punch is exactly what the garden needs - exactly what nate provided last night...

And better yet, he would have been able to shut down jefferson and carter.....

So Isiah you fucking asshole, pick up the phone and get Artest over here....
I am sick to my stomach seeing the knicks look like a bunch of pussies!
