That was close Knicks fans. But we pulled it out, 95-91. The team was on fire from 3, hitting 44% of them. As happy as I am for the win, the turnover when Wilson Chandler throws it away in an attempt to pass it to Al Harrington concerned me. If we want to make the playoffs we have to be able to close out games effectively. Not taking away from Danilo's great block on Acie Law (I don't know what he was doing in the game, that final play was the first action he saw) but if he did make that shot, the Knicks would have found themselves in overtime. But lets not concentrate on the negatives.
Some things I noticed tonight-
- Chandler showed his full arsenal tonight, hitting 3's, pull up jumpers, hitting from the line, driving to the hoop you name it. He scored 26 for the Knicks
- Jonathon Bender had another good game tonight, scoring 11 points and hitting all 3 of 3 from the 3 point line. There is still notable rust, but he is proving that he can be a nice player in D'Antoni's rotation.
- David Lee had a great all-around game, scoring 15 points, grabbing 15 boards, and dishing out 7 assists. This is the second great game by Lee.
- Augustin had a quiet game tonight, but I still think for the right price he could be a solid player on our team. Any chance the Bobcats could be interested in Nate?
Talk to you soon.
