A little hairy last night blowing a 25 point lead to an undermanned Laker team but I will take it. Quickley made some big shots in the 4th quarter. I love the energy he has off the bench.

Good win last night against the Hawks. They mad us look BAD in the playoffs. Is Julius tired or playing with an injury as he hasn't been lighting it up as he dis during the first 10 games. I love how others have stepped up to help the team. I still am optimistic about this team's chances to go far in the playoffs (although Phoenix seems really tough).

They are a far cry from the top echelon teams, but are trying hard. With Walker out of lineup now, hopefully they will have better starts to the game.
Keeping my fingers crossed that they won't get blown out tonight.

I hope Quickly will get a few more minutes of playing time. It would be great to win tonight in Brooklyn.

tough game, but enjoyable to watch.
I am getting a tired of Randle pouting and costing his team points !
Burks is coming through so far, good move by Thib.
I would really like to see Quickley and Toppin put up mid-range jumpers when they are open. Toppin, especially does not want to take a jumper unless there is no one within 10 feet of him. I love Qs energy but sometimes he spends too much dribbling and running down the clock.
It is a process.....we gotta stay patient also......

I think Thibbs will figure it out and the Knicks will be one of the top three teams in the East. It is a shame they couldn't pull it out at the end. If they had a time out and could inbound from half court we would have had a decent chance to win or tie (Fornier came awfully close with his 45 foot hail Mary). For those who have given up on watching the NBA you are missing something special in the works. Right now the Knicks and Rangers are looking stronger than the Yankees. Go Knicks.

Another tough loss....same script.
This is not a smart team, especially towards the ends of games. As much as I like Randle, at the end of games he plays so frenetically that it leads to turnovers/offensive fouls.
They need a calming influence during those times and it ain't Julius. Need Rose to step up more and take charge of directing the offense.
Toppin did it again last night and it continues to pi$$ me off.....as soon as he gets a pass, he whips it back to the passer who is inches from him and the ball bounces off for a turnover. Why he treats the ball like a hot potato is something Thib should address !!!

Barrett is so up and down…. I would like to see a steady offensive output.
Good win…. They needed it.

this team has become a tease......unless they get a bona fide grade A, top of the line Superstar, they ain't going nowhere !!
I am beginning to think that Randle's re-signing to the big contract was a mistake.

no matter who is available to play, they can't seem to dodge getting down by 20 !! It's pathetic They should spare the fans 48 min of agony and start the games midway through the 3rd with the opps spotted 20 pts !! Whether it happens in the 1st or 3rd quarter, they are not prepared ... that has to be on the coaches with Thibs not pushing the right buttons !! Maybe he has lost them after only 1 year.........
