Game #27: Minnesota Timberwolves (13-11) @ New York Knicks (19-7)

[osmosis da kid]

i would give chandler every shot but a dunk, he just can't finish from 5 ft out, its pretty sad, he was supposed to work with Hakeem right

He's content he doesn't want to evolve his game...

Knicks are just a bad defensive team untill proven otherwise.

Knicks are just a bad defensive team untill proven otherwise.

This is true. All Woodson's talk is ********, because outside of 10 games, he can't get these guys to give consistent effort on defense. There's nothing more annoying than all the open threes they give up and the offensive rebounds they let opposing teams get.

Here comes the negative doomsday comments.

[knicks=love]

Brewer is providing nothing. He will be the odd man out if he can't hit a shot and he isn't even playing good defense at this point.

Starters
Chandler
Stoudemire
Melo
Shumpert
Felton

Camby
Wallace
Novak
Smith
Kidd

i wouldn't have shumpert starting right away. i would still start melo at the 4 and kidd at the 2. it's worked thus far, so why switch it up? shumpert, smith and amar'e coming off the bench is an unreal amount of firepower.

Gotta start playing Copeland more... Ronnie Brewer just looks like he's lacking confidence. Pablo needs to play more also with Felton struggling like that.

Here comes the negative doomsday comments.

It's not doomsday comments. Wake up and smell the coffee. The Knicks HAD been rolling until the Houston game because their crappy defense was compensated by unbelievable shooting. The shot is not falling now for Kidd, Felton, Brewer and sometimes Smith. And the crappy defense is becoming obvious now. You just let up 29 points on 48% shooting in the first quarter against a Love-less T-Wolves team.

That's some D'Antoni **** there. And just about every first quarter in the past 10 games they've let up similar numbers.

Something needs to change before the team goes on a roll of losses. They lost up 102 to Cleveland, 109 to Houston and 110 to Chicago.

This is the reality we're dealing with.

i do not like looking at schved, he is in dire need of a haircut

No it hasn't worked the damn defense is terrible...

i guess being 19-7 isn't good enough..

[still a fan]

JR seems to be the only one tuned in right now

[NYSpirit1]

Stop being excited about a 19-7 start. We've endured 10 years of suffering as is. It's an 82 game season.

novak why did your rush that?

Everyone complaining about certain Knicks but this guy has been killing us lately.

No defense and now he rush's his shots, that was big

[NYSpirit1]

I swear if Woodson doesn't play Camby when he comes back after all this struggling with big lineups...

[still a fan]

JR is doing it all
