The Knicks led most of the game, really outplayed Cleveland with the exception of that 2 minute and change stretch when they hit what was it 4 open 3's. This has got to friggin stop. I can understand a contested 3, but these 3's were wide open. I don't know if it's the defensive scheme or players just being stupid out on the court but that was a disgrace, the reason it was a disgrace was because this was the same shit that killed the knicks last season. With that said, the knicks could have still won the game, IF THEY WOULD HAVE HIT THEIR FRIGGIN FREE THROWS... This is ridiculous... I've never seen a team that sucked at Free throws for such a long time like the Knicks.. i think back to the charles smith game, they missed 15 free throws that game at the time smith was going up for those misses, so yea smith should have dunked that ball down, but because they missed 15 free throws the game was even close to begin with. Same thing goes for last night... Curry didn't hit one free throw? not 1? Nate and Zach missing crucial free throws at the end of the game. IF the knicks could fix those two fixable things, defending the perimeter shot... and Hitting free throws this could be an exciting season
Now on to the players
I"ve killed Zach throughout the off season, he had a good game, his turnovers were disgusting, but he did well
Crawford was the best player on the floor
Curry's first half was solid, second half he looked winded he didn't have the same energy that he showed in the 1st. loved his pass to Nate for the open 3, hated the fact that he didn't pass the ball to Nate who was open in the corner just a play or two after
Nate great game off the bench
Marbury penertrated and did give his teammates some wide open opportunitis, they missed a few opn shots off of marbury passes but his overall game was not good at all
Q-Rich - not a good game as well
Lee a good offensive game, surprisingly but besides that wasn't really a david lee performance.
