    It's actually surprising how well the team is doing given how many stinkers he has had. Everyone else on the team is playing at a remarkably high level.

    The bench is amazing, JR Smith, Novacaine, Rasheed Wallace, Prigioni, and Camby has hardly even hit the court yet...

    Felton needs to stop forcing so many shots. It's not necessary. He needs to dish first rather than shoot first. He misses way too many layups.

    I agree but I like that he goes for it you can not rely on Melo to make every shot do I think the offense should run through him.

    Melo is sitting for the Cavs Game. Who thinks we win without him? I sure as hell.....
    DO! Lol wishful thinking though

    We squeaked out a win. We stay undefeated at home.

    No but Felton can't take long fadeaway 2s. Those are the worst shots possible. We saw it last night, when he steps into shots, they go in more often, but when defeners give him room he wants to step back or fallaway when he can raise straight up. He needs to take more shots with Melo out, but they have to be good shots.

    Kyrie Irving is so much fun to watch except when he started to cut into that lead in the 4th. As Breen said, gonna be an all star for a very very long time.

    Could have went to today's game, but opted out. Wanted to watch the Jets game. Jets better play well, and win. Clyde suits are out of his world. ha

    Unless you're a Jeremy Lin fan you made the right decision - the Knicks are having a ridiculously bad second quarter.

    Blehhhh. Finally lost at home it looks like. Can't wait til Melo comes back and then Amare in a couple weeks then Shump in a month or two.

    Stat has been cleared for practice. Not too worried about the Rockets loss.

    It was bound to happen losing at home. I hope Melo is ready for the BK game at the garden. The Knicks defense does get much better when Shumpert comes back. As of right now, they don't really have a perimeter defender and Tyson has to be less aggressive with Wallace and Camby both out behind him. Once Amare comes back and they are healthy, he will be given more leeway with fouling and aggressiveness and such.

    Very impressive second half for the Knicks, finishing on a 43-25 run. Melo is playing at a ridiculously high level.

    I love how Chandler tips the ball out so well. It is an undervalued skill (and was something I was pretty good at back when I used to play all the time - you know, back in the Cretaceous period).
