    I'd say it was a little better than "not bad'.

    A 37 point 1st quarter against the best defence in the NBA is a great start.

    haven't seen this much zone... ever. even the offense has new wrinkles. Jones P&R as the roll man?

    You mean to say it works when you gameplan for your opponent and run a defensive scheme to take away their strengths and plays to their weaknesses? Who woulda thought!

    Knicks can’t shoot. Can’t be punished.

    If that means Stotts intentionally employed a defensive gameplan tailored to his opponent, then it's a win.

    They give up the fewest points... not to be confused with the best defense.

    I like that Neil has confidence in his guys..but Ant does not look like a back up point guard

    Knicks fans seem to really hate Payton... and Thibodeau for play him.

    We’re all very experienced with that. Non-Portland people often made the mistake of thinking we had a great defence under N8, when in reality we just played extremely slowly.

    Melo was having flashbacks seeing those Knicks uniforms.
