- Shooting % will be low for Raptors.
- Better rebounding by our bigs.
- The Garden crowd will be on fire!

Knicks 111 Raptors 102
Okay, 8 point win instead of 9 but the crowd WAS nuts in the third. Last night's win smelled like turkey.

But why ? Even first rounder can be a bust. Kanter is young, good heart, hard worker, good attitude, last night his defence was good. Scores, rebounds, good teammate. What is that you are looking in first rounder different?

Great win, I do have to say I sense a tad of jealousy coming from KP in regards to Tim: "he missed me a couple times", "The way they focused on me opened up things for him". Tim said "gotta keep the big fella happy". You know KP embraces being the man so have to monitor how he feels if Tim steals his thunder a bit.

Jeff deserves a lot of credit on how we are playing right now.

part of me thinks that this is mainly because of the schedule but another part of me thinks that the first thing a playoff team does is defend home court and win 50/50 games on the road. Our road record is weak but its still early. We gotta start taking the war to other ppls arena's

Rewatched the second half. That was fun! 4th quarter turned into another test, but this time we passed.

Happy to see us gather our confidence early in the season, but Don is right; January is gonna have a brutal stretch of road games. I guess that'll be a true test of how much we've progressed. We certainly can't give up soft 1st halves and expect to mount a furious comeback consistently.

The last time i seen the Knicks come-out after halftime with a lock-down DEFENSE from the starters lineup, we had coach Pat Riley or we had coach Red Holzman as our head coach .. Now that was OLD SKHOOL B.Ball 100% the Defense making a outstanding offense!
Our Starter lineup gets much big PROPS praise from me n all Knicks Fans for their Relentless Team DEFENSE STOPS at the start to the end of the 3rd quarter (41-10 quarter) Remarkable Performance in the NBA vs a contender team!
The defensive leadership n skills we were expecting to get from SG Courtney Lee showed up big time ..
The defensive switching by center Kanter was something we nor OKC knew Kanter had in his skills ..
And Tim Hardaway Jr. 2-way all-star performance was off the charts of expect the unexpected ..
Jack n KP played their team winning-role on both ends of the court as a Same-Page Team ..
Head coach Jeff Hornacek gets a A+ grade for the Knicks starter lineup outstanding 2nd half performance !!!
GO Knicks GO !!!

I heard that, too, but there was a gleam in his eye and a bit of a smile that lead me to believe that he was joking.

There is certainly room at the Garden for two star players.
Overly optimistic about the Knicks since 1974
