Always fun playing at the fabled Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have been a little snake bitten as of late having lost a bunch of close ones.

Go Suns!!!

This link is for those of you that thought Jeff would be alright in New York: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baske ... -1.2948808

I wanted to write Isola and tell him that Jeff doesn't have the personality to do what he's asking of him. It was a bad fit from the start in my opinion.

The larger issue I think is Phil. I think if Jeff were able to run the show his way and had a normal front office backing him he'd be in a better place. But with not having his own assistants and Phil's meddling (the Melo stories, triangle stuff), he's been in a tough spot.

I feel like the same thing was being written about Fisher last year before he got fired.

You have to have a little bit of alpha in you in order to be HC. Hornacek has none of it. He's probably the biggest pushover head coach in the league. Guys like the Morris twins and Derrick Rose know it that's why the twins treated him like ish and Rose takes games off without even letting anyone know.

I still remember when Hornacek started some tech rule where players got benched immediately for rest of the game if they picked up a tech and I thought wow Hornacek finally grew some balls. And then that rule only ended up lasting like two games

I think Isola likes Hornacek and is giving him good advice. He needs to start taking control of his lockerroom and players. He has the control of playing time. Use it to get everybody in check. Can Hornacek do it? He hasn't shown it so far. Time for him to take action.

Sick Chriss alley-oop on top of KP.

Looks like Chriss is pissed about being snubbed for an All-Star Game starting spot.

Chriss with his best start to a game in a long time. 3 of 4 for 7 points.

Warren pulled for Tucker after an awful defensive possession on Melo.

He's to much for Warren to handle.

I've seen Tucker throw his hands wide up in complaint three times since he checked in. I hate watching him play.

Seriously fuck Watson. Len is on such a short leash it is beyond ridiculous. Especially when he only plays worse when they have done this shit to him in the past. Nothing like building good will on a contract year.

When you focus in on him he is so infuriating. Especially when he gets beat and starts yelling at a teammate.

Knight seems to be playing within the flow of the offense. Weird.

Len shouldn't be setting screens 10 feet from the 3-point line.

No, it only looks that way cause he's hitting shots. He's still taking long 2s early in the shot clock.

Is the arms in the air count at 4 now? Or did I miss a few?

Chriss really needs to calm down on the attitude. Just no reason to get all upset over nothing.

Chriss has looked improved on the defensive end. Doesn't look lost out there.
