Three and a half quarters of quality basketball just don't cut it folks. After yet another sluggish start the Knicks led the Bobcats by 12 midway thru the 4th quarter only to see the game slip away. The Cats ended the game on a 12-2 run and beat the boys in blue and orange 92-87. Would it have been nice to continue this recent hot streak? Absolutely it would have been, but all things considered i can live with the performance and shake the loss of quickly. Despite our recent good play, we're a mediocre team that lacks a go to scorer down the stretch. Raymond Felton took over late and the Knicks din't have an answer.
I know it seems like the same old Knicks. They tease you into believing they've turned the corner only to go on one of their trademark 8 game losing streaks. But when you take a step back and look at the game objectively, we really didn't play all that well. Chris Duhon was our leading scorer and if not for some sloppy play down the stretch we could have stolen a road game against a decent Charlotte team. To me the one positive to take out of last nights performance is that we can play a C+ game and still be competitive.
Game Notes
As i said Chris Duhon led the Knicks in scoring last night with 18 points. Duhon has turned the corner since his early season struggles. I'm 100 percent behind the benching of Nate Robinson but you cannot ask Duhon to play 43 minutes a night and be effective. The combination of Toney Douglas and Larry Hughes have to play atleast 13 minutes a night at point. If you limit Duhon's playing time to 35 minutes those late game turnovers should deminish.
Larry Hughes and Al Harrington combined to shoot 7-23 from the floor. Hughes and Harrington have been the offensive catalyst as of late. If both players are having an off night its going to be tough to win games.
Jared Jefferies played a great game. 11 points, 5 rebounds, 6 steals, 2 blocks, and 3 assists. The Knicks were + 15 with Jefferies on the court. I can say with absolute certainity that if JJ doesn't foul out we find a way to win that game.
Sticking with the Jefferies theme, can his trade value get any higher at this point? As important as he is to our current success,it is far more important to trade Jefferies for our future success. Larry Brown is known for making bonehead trades, (the names Jalen Rose and Steve Francis ring a bell?) give him a call.
Last but not least.... Can our best offensive player and shooter get crunch time minutes. Gallo had an off night but your best shooter needs to be on the court late in games. I don't even care if the ball touches his hands but Gallo is a great decoy who will spread the floor.
That's all for now.
