Hey, regardless of exactly why, the knicks are winning so let’s keep the ball rolling New York and learn how to win one on the road. In time, we’ll know the exact reasons why we’ve had three solid wins against top teams, because we’ll either keep winning, or revert back to what we’ve been doing for the majority of the season.
You know Caron and company are going to come out strong, because we just beat them, so lets see good continuity from tip-off to the final buzzer.
Force MD’s, please represent our Knicks defense brotherhood with orange and blue colors in D.C. and I’ll do my best to do the same from the pub down the street. Who knows, in time maybe we’ll have our defenders in every NBA city showing up at game time, I know there are truly knicks fans everywhere.
So Stephon’s having surgery. Good luck to you, Steph. Looks like Isiah’s sustained, season-long effort to paint you as the scapegoat for this team’s struggles is nearing consensus, but I’m not buying it. Truth is, he is just now playing the guys that SHOULD have been getting burn all season long. That’s a conspiracy to me. MSM asked Isiah why Balk didn’t play for six weeks and Isiah made up some fake crap up that Balk didn’t even understand when they asked him about it. Quite frankly, Isiah is more Machiavellian than some of the dudes running in the primaries right now. Hope you prove them wrong Steph while the knicks keep this winning thing going. However, if it turns out down the road that the knicks can’t win with you, it will be time for you to go. But we’re not there yet in my eyes because I can’t even remember a time when you and Balk were on the court together, let alone you, Nate and Balk.
Anyone heard anything about the injury Jeffries sustained last game against the Nets?
In keeping with DVJ’s reverse prediction trends, I’m going to change things up and hope that Chandler DOES NOT play tonight, and see if that makes a difference.

reshufflin’ the deck..
dealin’ Jay Bee in this hand.
Yeah I like that kid. He seemed to have a winner’s mentality and a great work ethic. I project him as a star in two years only because it’s going to take that long for people to get to know him. Which is why I think either Antawn or Injured Zero will be gone by year’s end. To make room and give the kid some shots.
Cosign on #146. That’s what outside shooting will do for you. Last game against the Nets Zach and Eddy started beating ‘em up inside in the third quarter.
Someone needs to drive to the hole.
Enough of this jumpshooting. It’s man time.
That’s the end of Jamal’s streak isn’t it?
Randolph cuts fed by Crawford, score!! Tie game muthafu$%&#!!!
Eddy Curry 7-8 from the line. At least he’s doing a good job on the stripe. He’s got to get more aggressive this quarter. Somebody give that man a gatorade.
With some hot sauce.
71 – 65 Gizards after a mini-run.
They are not challenging the bigs for our team. It’s there. We just have to be willing take it. It’s Balkman time. Pull Q. He may be hot but he’s hurt.
We’re down by 8. 82-74 Wiz.
Time to regroup NY! Show your Heart!!!!!!
The pace has taken its toll. Jump shooting teams fall apart at this pace by the fourth. The Knicks best bet is to slow it down and bang inside. Nate and Jamal are tired. They won’t regain enough energy without sitting on the bench. New Knick weakness. No depth at point.
Isiah will need to learn how to use Collins soon.
Zeke took too long to get the energy crew in there.
Pull Q. Pull Q.
We need Balkman on Butler.
The good thing is that the Wizard jumpshooters will tire enough for a run if we have any energy.
Good defensive close out of that quarter!
GUT CHECK TIME KNICKS!!!!
Jay Bee, the catalyst for the energy crew was already in there. Does the energizer bunny have enough left to make a 10 minute long run. Here is where a clear-headed driving guard would help.
Nate needs to penetrate and get that foul.
That’s what I’m talking about. The points are there.
8-0 run Knicks!
I love this game.
99-90 Wiz
It’s almost time for Jamal to return, but the Knicks must keep playing that inside game. slowing the pace down and forcing the Wizards to keep taking difficult jumpers. That was a tough shot by David. You wish he would take those, but earlier in the game. We can afford the misses until he gets confidence then.
Lots of time,I’m glad Craw is getting a rest!
Break Caron’s arm.
Curry. Wrong sub.
Jamison abusing D. Lee. We’re in trouble. Some coaching would be nice right about now. Down 11 we just need a couple of stops.
I can’t believe their doubleing Crawford!!!!
They’re too tired. That is when execution and decisionmaking are at their worse. The energy guys have been zapped. They had the Wizards on their heels but Jamison has been pure with little resistance.
We need Steve Francis.
No magic so far tonight.
Curry. Wrong sub
Yeah, Jay Bee. The “Magic” played the whole game. Not enough left.
109-94 Lizards. Timeout Knicks.
I hope we have something for Miami tomorrow.
This is a bad sign for that Philly, Golden State, LA game. Pace, Pace, Pace.
Good news about tonight is that the starters logged a lot of minutes so there is a chance the young guys could get some time tomorrow. Bad news is that the starters logged a lot of minutes and you know Zeke is going to play them regardless.
Miami is starting to take it to Portland. If they win that game they will be looking at us with confidence in their eyes.
76ers up on Boston by 2. 63-61
G.O. We take the “L” back with us.
This Wiz team is no slough! We played a good game!
We just have to pick it a noch tomorrow!
I’ll take 4 out of 5 the rest of the season!
One Major point that sticks out! LEE and Balkman and Jeffries
lack of offense Killed us tonight!
LEE took the most hidious shot I have seen this year!
Even topped the Scholar and Jeffries memorial shots!
So the mini streak is over.
I won’t take a position on whether they’ve turned the corner or not on this game.
If they had won the question would be, how will they handle the recent success? Would they come out flat against the Heat, a team some may percieve to be worse than us right now?
The other question is how do they handle some adversity. The loss stops the streak but whats more tommorow they will play the last game of 4 game in 5 nights. Will they come out and compete, or will they wilt. Can they get 3 o 4 and rest up for a showdown with the Celtics? Or have the Knicks hit there zenith?
I really hope they get it together for tommorrow tired and all, b/c the heat is the team that was part of the early season downward spiral. I want blood. I’m sick of death by white chocolate, and post dinosaur.
See you guys tommorow.
Bring in Mbenga, we lack international players, and a dude to do dirty deeds in the post/middle.
We need that game tomorrow. They should be angry about this one. They let this one get away from them.
Jeffries is very useful.
This game is simple.
First of all, we had no defense. Q just can’t stop Butler. Jamison shoots over Zach who is such a hardworking mug. Everybody goes around David. Balk leaves teh baseline open and Curry is like a Statue of Liberty in the post calling on the tired, the poor and the huddled masses to get free lay-ups.
Second, we were lulled by our own perimeter success and we became a jump shooting team at the “Not So O’K Corral” against a seasoned jumpshooting team. At this pace, you lose your legs too fast and your jump shooting accuracy doesn’t exist.
Third, neither Crawford nor Nate penetrated enough in the second half. That is a good way to conserve energy and score points because it stopss the clock and puts you on the line and the WIzards cannot handle either of them off the dribble. The Knicks are short a penetrating guard. A pure pass first guard would help.
There is no fix for the guard problems. Crawford will log heavy minutes by necessity. Jones is definitely not the most deft ballhandler on the east coast.
We can beat Miami, but the next four are matchup problems galore.
IMO – Too much Q. Once again he was hot early, second half – nothing. I’m breathing deeply. I’ll be o.k.
Probably a game where we could’ve used a guard who drives to the hole like a man.
