Can we make it 5 losses in a row? We are finally out of the playoff picture (Thank god).

The Knicks are currently in the 8th spot in the East. It is mind boggling to me to see that they are 7-10 with so much talent on their roster.

I'm excited to see what this Knicks team looks like... Maybe we can be the team that helps them find their offense. Also, Baron Davis could debut tonight. That'd be fun to see, I like him a lot.

The Knicks are a mess. I find it ironic that the sold the farm to bring in Carmelo from Denver, yet Denver is clearly the better team at this point. Fans would hate it, but they should look to move Carmelo for a PG that can run the PnR with Amare, and possibly some roster depth.

Isn't Baron like at least a week away? Melo scored one point yesterday on 0-7 shooting, I wonder how he plays.

If we play as hard as we did against Miami then we won't have any problem winning because thsi Knicks team have a long way to go until they are a contender.

I never understood why they wanted Carmelo in D'Antoni's system since he's such a half court, one on one kind of guy. They really do need a PG who can open things up and get Amare and Chandler easy buckets.

Denver is doing a better job of recreating D'Antoni's system than he is doing here in NY. I agree that they should have gone after a PG, perhaps keeping Gallinari, and going for the team game, rather than star power. Now they're banking on Baron Davis and signing a FA PG for under their market value this off-season.

Also, where is the shooting? D'Antoni needs shooters and this Knicks roster is fairly devoid of shooting. (The PG's are shooting like 35% FG and 27% from 3PT combined.) Landry Fields is shooting 21% from 3. What a mess of a roster, indeed. Makes me appreciate having Boobie around, I feel like there will be some teams asking for him around the deadline.

lol the knicks

I don't care if we lose the next 10 in a row as long as we finish with a winning record against them this season.

I hope we don't play the Knicks many more times this season... too many wins. :lol:

Varejao is boarding it like a man this year. 5th in the league going in and he had 16 tonight.

(Also, Knicks.... 3-20 from 3. Yeeesh.)

We really have no business beating the Knickerbockers and yet we've beaten them 4 of the last 5. I am tired of them inflating our record.

Those and the hook shot had my heart skipping some beats. He shows those brief glimpses where he looks like a serviceable legit Center, but unfortunately these types of games are so few and far between its hard to count on him.
