It's happened 119 times in in franchise history. 13 times in last 6 years (7 from Jefferson, 2 from Biz, 2 from Mullens, and Kwame).

Emeka Okafor did it 25 times.

When did Brandon freaking Jennings bump his head and start thinking he was prime Gary Payton???

That game was too close for comfort after getting up by 20+.

Man Lamb can look silky and smooth when he has it going. Sounded more mature when being interviewed as well. Good signs? We need some good signs.

Love Kemba's moxie but his passing just wasn't there tonight. Maybe with Bats and Marv out he thought he had to do it all with scoring the ball but he made some really reckless drives and missed some wide open team mates not making passes that were there (and he has been making this season).

It's really, really hard not to be impressed with the 7'3" monster. That kid is something else.

Hope tonight kick starts a huge week for us. Need to sweep the next 3 Vs Memphis, Detroit and Dallas.

MKG was showing his ass with his defense on Melo. Melo had 18 on 25 shots..man that's ugly

lamb was good as hell last year, he was top 15 in rpm for sg. Clifford benching him in the playoffs and then saying to the media "he isn't preparing for games well" will forever leave me befuddled. I think Cliff is playing the long game and trying to develop JL, he has many connections to his old college coach so he knows what buttons to press i guess.

I know you are a Lamb homer but Lamb was literally lost so much on defense last year, he was unplayable. It's always been about defense for Lamb. It seems he has picked it up this offseason. Shame the team can't get healthy at the same time. It'd be nice to have a full compliment of players.

Little disappointed in these past two games.... the Knicks aren't that good and we should have taken care of business early. This team needs to learn how to stay focused. If we hit our free throws, both games are blowouts. If we stop the stupid mistakes, we'd be 12 and 4 or better.

I wouldn't say the Knicks aren't that good. They got quality wins over Atlanta, Chicago, Portland, Boston, and I guess you can include us. They might not be as good as the namesake of Melo and Rose being on a team together considering their past but they've been turning their season around.

The Knicks was 6-3 over their last 9 games coming into tonight's game after a slow start to the season. I got them making the playoffs if their core stay healthy.

I wonder how the Knicks would be going if they spent that money on another centre like Biz instead Noah.

I like Noah but he's too old and injured to demand that money.

With that starting lineup Biz wouldn't have to worry about scoring or spacing.

You could make this argument Friday night but yesterday the hornets were super thin and any team with zing and melo has a chance

Jennings looked like Patrick Beverly out there last night. I guess he's figured out that by playing really pesky defense he can carve out a niche as a backup PG who comes in and plays all out for 20 minutes a night. It's interesting to see players reinvent their games halfway thru their career. That being said, he should be smarter than to think he can press Kemba like that. Kemba is not the type of PG that you can defend alone that far away from the hoop.

I'd love for the Hornets to have a PG on the bench who could disrupt a game defensively.
