if we lost this game i would have been a little more upset and worried. But i think that this will help the team get back on track. it's always good to see chandler play well.
It's becoming clear... In order for the Knicks to win they need 55 points or more from Felton-Stat and 40 points or more from Chandler-Gallo.
NYK cannot win when they struggle offensively.
Knicks might be catching MIA at a good time. Bosh is probably out Thursday, and Wade is a question mark. NY must find a way to win this game. Simple as that. If there's no Wade-Bosh, then it would be a terrible blow to lose to LJ.
BEAT THE HEAT and that 6-game losing streak is really behind us, and we can hope for another run. Knicks are 23-21. There are 11 games before the All-Star break. 8 home games + "road" game in NJ. The other "road game is in PHI. In essence, after FRI night in ATL Knickscome home for good until after All-Star weekend. They should be comfortable, well-rested and ready to roll.

Knicks should go MINIMUM 7-4. That would be PAR. I want more though. They failed their 21 game rough pathc going 8-13. NOw would be a good time to ATONE.
7-4 sends them into the All-Star break with a 30-25 record.
It all starts and ends with DEFENDING the home floor. That means 2 things: Bring energy and have your bench play above themselves. Role players are supposed to elevate their games at home. We need that now.
MIA is rusted and banged up. We need effort and we need to shoot the ball. I hope we come out with that edge to stick it to MIA. Don't play in awe.
If there's no Wade-Bosh and the Knicks allow Lebron & Miller to score at will, it will be a bad sign.... And we could find ourselves under .500 All-Star weekend.
