Wow Go Ny Go Ny Go
Wow the knicks came out ready to do there thing i can talk about each player with so much love today and i will start with of course the coach.
Isiah finally came out with a game plan to play the Celtics and it worked they were monsters on Defense all through the game. i know you may say well the big three did there thing well those guys will be hall of famers each one of them so if you think any one can stop them for real your crazy.
Curry he was playing help D and got into foul trouble. He was guarding KG well KG does that to people i still think he got shafted on a few calls though.
Zach well hes zach a few less rebounds this game then usual but KG's vertical is crazy there wasnt much he could do against him but he did get some Key rebounds and his offense well it is whats expected.
Q whos defense today was incredible he held down Pierce while he was guarding him and he hit some key shots plus attempted to drive to the whole but yeah KG was a beast down low
Marbury He played the 2 which is where he should play his Defense was on point although he left his man open alot trying to play help defense his scoring was down but thats because he was tired running all over the court.
Crawford he did well at the point dishing the ball out quickly id rather see him come of the bence and play the 2 and let collins run the team. Ill get back to you later about why picked him over nate to start.
Lee well lee was lee a monster out there hes getting so much better but he needs a jumper he had some powerful dunks and drove to the whole but soon people will step back and not give him the chance to score leaving him wide open and he needs to be able to take that shot.
NATE my man for all yall who wanted him gone i told you hes a monster damn that boy has a sweet jump shot and hes always in the right spot at the right time for the break away and he didnt even dunk or do anything stupid just nice layups damn how old is he again cause hes looking twice his age from last year. And if anyone wants to debate me about this hes the reason why the Celtics didnt come back and beat us he was the spark off the bench that kept us ahead throughout the game Lee did his thing to but if Nate wasnt there we probably would have lost.
JJeffries. Well i wont front i was one of those guys who wanted this kid gone but im glad Isiah was smart enough to keep him. his offensive game isnt so great but he does have some good D and when given the ball down low he can actually score good positioning thats whats up.
The rest of the team came in and did well. Although Fred Jones the so called defensive specialist fell to the floor he wasnt looking so good i dont know why Isiah has such a hard on for this kid i dont think hes that good. but he did play alright in other games but still not looking like the glove or someone like that.
This was a big win for us because both teams treated this like a real game. Playing there starters in real life minutes. I loved this game.

True dat - True dat!
The Knicks Starting 5 players played great DEFENSE from the start of the game ending the 1st qtr. with a Knick lead 29-28.
I hav'nt seen first quarter defense like that since Ward, Anderson, Kurt Thomas, and Mutombo, was the Knick Starters.
The 2nd quarter Nasty Nate Robinson took the Knicks to the next level of NBA B-Ball getting 4 quick assists and putting the Knicks ahead by 15 points with 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter with players Lee, Malik, Jefferies, and Marbury alongside of him. I cant wait to see Nate, Lee, and Balkman on the court together.
I have NO Complaints about the Knick Players or Isiah Thomas coaching other than not giving Rookie Demetris Nicholes any of Jones & Jefferies playingtime in the Preseason.
Isiah Thomas came out with a WINNING-PLAN for this Celtic game (If the Knick-Players and Isiah plan like this for 82 games the Knicks will not only make the playoffs but will be an above .500 Team this season.)...

I gotta say I'm very impressed with the way they played. Zach played excellent defense (I cant believe im saying this). Q rich did a good job on Pierce, even blocking his shot. Crawford showed more of an effort on defense. Zach didnt look good defensively in the other games but he showed last night that he could be a much better defender then i thought. The double teaming they did on Garnett impressed me also. They kept cutting off the passing lanes and forcing Garnett to turn the ball over. I even have to give Curry credit. When he played, he did an aright job on Garnett. Obviously Garnett is much quicker and thats a bad matchup for Curry but I'll give him credit, he bodied him up. Lee was great coming off the bench and so was Nate with his 9 REBOUNDS. We made Rondo and Ray Allen look bad. Very good game and an impressive win. I know its only preseason, but look at the big minutes the PGA tour got (Pierce Garnett Allen). The Celtics were trying to win.

great game by the knicks, I heard on Msg during the game that david lee said the knicks needed to come out and play well in this one and they did. Knicks needed this game im looking forward to the regular season, Im impresed with nate robinson in summer league and regular season, he finally calmed down and is playing like a point guard with those nice passes. He could be a potential all-star.

i usually dont get too excited about preseason. because well a lot of things can happen before the start of the season and usuallly preseason is played with nothing but teams trying to find their way.
but ill have to agree with you starks on this instance. this game actually seemed to mean something. the way both teams played this game and both teams kept the players in from start to finish that will continue to play all season for both teams this had a reg season feel or even playoffs if you want to go that far.
im glad the team got over their nerves and who actually thought we could shut down the big three (NJ must hate that they lost that title) in the 4th quarter.
im not gonna sit here and say "oh i told you so. told you to keep this person or that person" blah blah blah because all of our opinions have changed at least once this offseason but i will say..
randolph was a good pickup which i will stick with. because when eddy goes down (which i was happy still with his D) you still have 2 great big men down low in lee and z-bo. love watchin kg/zbo games btw.
i wanted nate gone. ill admit it. just because i thought he wouldnt mature and plus i wanted artest.. but after the summer league and this preseason im eating my own words at the moment. i wont get ahead of myself.. but nate is the future at pg for us. and if something comes along where we could trade marbury... we might have to take that option.
good game all around. happy for JJ to show he has value. he worked so hard this offseason im glad it is showing. same cant be said for the other jj as i hope he is waived but jordan (wait wow we have three JJ's on this team haha) and nichols did not play which is not a good sign for D-Nic. well see what happens but Jordan in D-League or Europe, Russell & James waived would make me happy.

I couldn't watch the game, but the boxscores look good to me. Especially the 0 turnovers in Nate's column. Curry's numbers weren't that impressive but who cares as long as the Knicks are winning (maybe they won because they didn't feed Curry the ball all the time...) Correct me when I'm wrong on that because I didn't see the game on telly.
