PrintHey, okay! The Knicks played a bad team and made them look like a bad team! They passed the ball and hit open shots! Landry Fields had a career night! Carmelo Anthony looked quite sharp in his return to action! Extended garbage time! Hooray!
Recap later!

LANDRY. FIELDS.
It's tough being a Knicks fan. Being a Giants and Yanks fan is great though.

Jared Jeffries Shot Tracker
Jeffries went 1-3 tonight for 2 points.
Fun Fact: Jeffries is currently shooting a career high .643 from the Free Throw line this season, easily eclipsing his previous career high of .625!

That coast to coast play of his had me loling soooo hard.
I would have peed my pants if he actually made it.

60% FG 50% 3pt this is how our offense should looke like to became a top team in this league which we supposed to be
from the very beginning. detroit is bad team, but our offense is really clicking right now. i hope we can continue this against bulls
Wasn't all good? What are these idiots talking about
I’m usually one to nitpick, but this game was perfectly good everywhere. No complaints. On to the next one
My favorite number tonight is 12
12 turnovers. If we could keep it that low going forward, games like the last Cleveland and Miami coulda been wins (coulda mind you)
Don't get me wrong, I love the win.
But I can’t help but think of this exactly like the Bobcats win Part 2. A good win against a shitty team that will only serve to set me up for more disappointment this weekend.
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
I gotta be pos...good things were done in this game that can be built upon if guys play smart and get their rhythm
Ball moved well most game wide with a trail off in the 3rd but nice job anyway
In the cats game melo had one point a d injured his thumb
He looks pretty healthy now Huge difference

On the bright side Melo will be around for the next two games
so there’s that
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
it'll probably be best for ur sanity if you continue thinking of this as bobcats duex
leave a lil’ room for disappointment

OMG IMAN SHUMPERT HAD 6 ASSISTS
He’s the answer! ::Mocking “Lin is our best answer at PG” voice::
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
6 assists in 35 minutes
Lin had 4 assists in 6 minutes. Projecting out to 35 minutes, that’s… let’s see…..22 assists for Lin! The next Stockton, baby!
Get The Frickin' Rebound
Leads team in PER
Lin must start and play 35 minutes every game if Knicks are going to amount to anything. Can’t CoachD see Lin leads the team in PER at 23.5? Melo is not even at 21 and everyone else is under 20. As Clyde said, he fills up the stat sheet whenever he gets in. Do NOT mock Lin!
I want Lin to succeed as much as anyone, but that PER isn't going to be even close to what it is if he gets more minutes during the part of the game that ISN'T garbage time.
It’s like seeing some 10th man off the bench with eye-popping per/36 numbers and wondering why his efficiency and counting stats don’t rise linearly with his increased minutes. Because of course it wouldn’t.
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
All we know for sure is what is
and right now, garbage time or not, he’s got some pretty decent stats and has earned himself some more playing time.

he kinda resembles stockton in the face no?

who says he isn't?
Even MDA said Shump is more of a combo guard

Although my <3 is with caution… We’ve all seen this team blow out Detroit (and Charlotte) before. Bring on the Bulls!!!!
Why do I feel like the exact same thing happened about 10 days ago just verse another team?

Yeah, yeah, garbage time I know, but still encouraging.

I think the Bulls crush us but
we do better against Boston

Melo always brings his A game against the elite teams
we’ll see
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
We can beat the bulls
Rose will get his points.(even with chandler in the middle), but the key is to pass the ball and get the offense clicking. If melo does his routine and amare gets good feeds form the guards and finishes like tonight, then we have a fantastic chance of winning even in double figures against the bulls.
Of course a little bench scoring could also go a long way…

It sometimes looked like PIck-n-Roll 101
There were several very deliberate and tentative PnRs. Hopefully they’ll be better the next time.
when we have time to practice we are good. when we have to play on instincts is when we get killed. every game this season where we’ve had decent down time we’ve come out crisp and hungry
Nice to See a Win!!
When is the last time the Kinick’s beat a team with a winning record??? Still, a win is a win.
Chandlers
FG% is 70 thus far, I really dont understand how anybody can complain about this guy. He never takes shots that he shouldnt, and once BD is back to actually play the point, our TO’s go down, and he can find the right spacing for Melo, Ty and Amare. We obviously gotta long way to go, but just the mere fact that Davis wont be turning the ball over by just bringing it up like TD does, or throwing it away on the first damn pass of a possession will make everything so much easier on the big frontcourt players.

Whose got it better than us??? NOBODY!

one knock on Melo
he always seems to have a good number of assists first half, and then none second half. Tonight 6 at the break, 6 at the end. Tonight turned into a blowout, so you can forgive him, but if he could just keep looking to set-up his teammates all game, then he could really open up the court for himself too.
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Yea, but what was the minutes differential for him between halves?
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
It is a consistent issue though
He acknowledged the blowout playing a factor, but it does seem to happen kind of often.
I should have looked at his minute totals at the half, will make note of it in the future as I continue to watch this trend
but I think he played about 21 first half minutes and 12 second half. Still, keeping up the pace from the first half, 6 in 21 minutes paces him for 9-10 in the 33 minutes he did play. More just something to keep an eye on, other teams certainly will. Just wonder if he goes into the game thinking, ‘OK, we need to score, and I need to help my teammates get open looks’ and then as the game gets later he changes mindset to, ‘We need to score, I will do it.’ The way he consistently puts up assists in the first half, he should be getting close to double digits a lot of games, but doesn’t yet.

Great Coaching
Now mda can relax a bit no?
Scumbag Carmelo
is one of the most talented players in the league,
only uses skills when he wants to.
Melo's the man
but he gets lackadaisical at times. He played with purpose tonight and it showed.
Can we not even win without fans bashing our best player?
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
And I'm Sad that Gallo isn't closing it out for them.
I think he’s still my favorite player, really like that kid.
Well, its not fair to him if those are their expectations. He's a solid wing. Not a go-to guy.
I guess my comments are more directed at their asshole fans and arrogant GM.
I love him too, but it's not who he is
And that’s why he’s not here anymore.
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
