The score of 88 to 82 doesn’t really reflect it, but with their awesome threes and not as sucky as usual defense…do you think that the Knicks could surprise us this year? 

I’m not going to hold my breath, I’m just glad that there is a (half) season at all.

One fear that I have this Christmas, however, is that they are not warmed up enough to face off against the Celtics in their season opener.

If Jared Jeffries wasn’t on the team anymore (why is he a professional athlete again?), we’d definitely have a fighting chance…But for some reason, not only does this dude get too much game time, he also ends up with the ball way too often. Learn how to shoot or find a new job, JJ.

Oh and further evidence that America really does hate Kris Humphries? He got signed to the Nets and almost booed out of MSG. That’s a bigger joke than his “marriage.” Poor guy.

Knicks, Amare, Chandler, Carmelo, Coach D’Antoni…give us the best gift of all on Christmas…A win!

Who’s going to make it to the NBA finals this year?
Rats if I know, I think it’s still too early to tell. The Lakers are just getting into their end-of-the season groove, and some teams, like the Knicks, are still playing in this unpredictable pattern (i.e. beating teams like the Miami Heat and then losing to teams like the Pistons, and for some reason not finding the need to sink frees, make threes, or play any defense).
But you know what I do know? Whoever makes it to the finals, I’ll be cheering them on in style, thanks to affordable NBA apparel now available at Forever 21 and Old Navy!

Come on Knicks!
What ever happened to playing defense? What ever happened to scoring three-pointers? These are looking like the same old Knicks that lack confidence through games that should be easy to win.

The Knicks have always had the tendency of winning against top contending teams and then literally dropping the ball when it comes to stepping stone games, like tonight’s. 

I’m just disappointed because Rusty and I probably won’t be able to score tickets to another game this season. And I still believe that in games like tonight’s, Gallinari would have come through in the pinch and really helped us out…unlike Mr.Ego, Carmelo Anthony. Anthony may have scored 25 points tonight, but more than 50% of those were in the first quarter alone, meaning that he was a ghost for the rest of the night.

To be a New York sports fan…it’s grueling.

Even with Chauncey Billups and Amare Stoudemire scoring thirty points each and Carmelo bringing in 25, the Knicks still weren’t able to maintain their lead over the Orlando Magic into the second half of the game. With some fantastic threes, the Magic beat the Knicks 116-110.

Ryan Anderson (16), Dwight Howard (30) and Jameer Nelson (26) stampeded over the Knicks in the second half.

Carmelo saw the loss as a sign that the team still needs to work on their defense (what else is new?) and Howard sees the win as proof that Orlando can earn a spot in the finals.

“…We have to continue playing this type of basketball for us to be a championship team. We have what it takes. This is what we have to do every night. We have to battle like this and we have to stay in the battle the whole game,” said Howard.
Why can’t think Knicks be that confident?

Lose two-win two!
The Knicks redeem themselves and tie things up in their series against the powerhouse of the East, the Miami Heat.

Are these some new Knicks? It doesn’t even matter, because with Stoudemire blocking shots like a beast and Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups and this guy Shawne Williams sinking frees…could we be a contender for the finals this year?

I think so.
