Terrific game by Lin tonight in a nice win.

19 pts on 6-10 shooting 7 reb 6 assists 1 stl 1 blk and only 2 to in 30 mins of play


Knicks gave up only 53 points in 2nd-3rd-4th qtr, that's 70.67pts per 48 mins.
Amazing defensive intensity again tonight.

They gave up only 58 points in 1st-2nd-3rd quarters last night against the Pacers.

That's 3 wins in a row now, I think the Knicks are poised for a big run. Their bench scoring is near tops in the league - best 2nd unit in the league imo.

Best 21-24 team in the history of the league?

Watching MSG just now, they confirmed a nickname for the Knicks Bench:

Mob Deep

i really liked that lin/shump/jr/melo/chandler set woody ran today

So #realtalk, what does Woodson have to do to realistically keep the job?

Win 1 playoff series enough?

the 1 series would probably have to be vs the heat or the bulls, so yea i'd think that would do it

probably gonna get back to .500 then win/lose every other night... which is fine as long as they get in. Obviously you don't want to play Miami or Chicago round 1, but you're gonna have to play them eventually if you want to go anywhere, might as well jump into the fire and hope for the best.

am i the only one who laughs everytime Novak hits a 3? not like "haha thats funny" more like "haha, im 2 years old and so happy im just gonna laugh" Steve Novak 3s are pure joy.

Problem is the team probably needs to have a series win under their belt to even have a longshot chance of knocking off one of the top 2 seeds.

I'm really hoping for a Knicks Heat first round series where we beat them in the deciding game on their homecourt for old times sake. Van Gundy can be there to broadcast it and secretly laugh at Riley

I would prefer if Van Gundy walked right up to Riley and laughed in his face.

But that's just me.

Are we completely ruling out finishing above 7th and not getting CHI/MIA?

No, but losing 6 straight really hurt the chances of that. Need to put together a pretty sick run I'd think.

Rest of the season, pretty tough March, 8/13 are away and against a lot of decent teams. I've marked the games that I think are winnable/must wins and left the blanks that will be tough and we'll need to perform well to get the win. I didn't realise how tough March was, maybe <6th will be tough even if the team play some good basketball.

Been way for a few days...what's with the Bibby sighting? Is Baron injured or in the doghouse?

injured, bibby has actually been ok in his role and im the biggest bibby hater. they said davis cud return tomorrow though

Playing well so far

this is fun. but seriously, Fields plays wayyyyy too much

I like fields, but yeah, he does play far too many minutes

Nice left handed layup by fields..
you were saying?

BOOM! so much fun to watch right now!

They look like a totally different team. Even STAT looks rejuvenated. Good test tomorrow night in Phi.

the knicks are back

fields played 23 minutes tonight, how many less minutes do you want him to play?

J-Lin 18/10 with only 3 TOs. Yeah baby.

Realistically if they want to get <6 playoff spot they need to win the rest of March? As they have a very tough April?

The problem is more Shumpert only playing 22 minutes and JR only playing 19 minutes Geoff.

I like fields. But those two guys are better.
