The Knicks won finally. That was a great play by Kobe Bryant at the end though. Where he was getting mad at Walton and shouting at him when he's to blame as well. During any other stage of the game Kobe would have attacked the basket and got his two points but he decided to pass it to Luke Walton this time around. But whatever this is a good win by the Knicks I had a feeling we were going to make the playoffs looks like I just might be right.
This is Tha Knick, just got my username changed...again! lol Anyway... <div class="quote_poster">Quoting mrj18:</div><div class="quote_post">Scary win for us. At least we came out with the W. hew:</div> Amen I wouldve went so crazy if the Knicks lost. I was so upset when the Lakers tied it so quick and when the game went to o.t.. Some of the o.t. scared me also. Man, thank god we have our front line and bench, because JCraw and Marbs didnt play that well offensively, though Marbury did have a good amount of assists. And how about Tinny Tim??

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting JWohl:</div><div class="quote_post">I think you expressed all of our (knick fans) feelings in that phrase...</div> lol haha I think so too.
I can't say the Laker loss surprised me tonight, but the way they lost is very frustrating. The Knicks are a strong home team, and they are great at the pick and roll. Unfortunately the Lakers cannot stop any team from the pick and roll and losing the points in the paint battle 42-26 cost the Lakers a victory. What's gotten into Tim Thomas lately? He's been amazing for the Knicks since the All Star Break. He's shooting almost 65% since the break and is 9 for 10 from behind the arc. If he continues to play like this I'll have to take back my original prediction and give the Knicks a chance to get into the playoffs. Tribute to H2O if you are going to blame Walton and Kobe, why stop there? How about Caron Butler for making Tim Thomas look like an All Star? How about Atkins taking some terrible shots when the Lakers had the 4 point lead in OT? How about Odom shooting only 8-20 from the field and having 5 turnovers? How about Chris Mihm who couldn't do anything despite having a huge height advantage over any Knick on the floor? The point is, it's a team game, neither Luke or Kobe lost this game for the Lakers. The team lost this game because it's terrible at defense and they continue to turnover the ball far too, much as a team.
Didn't get a chance to watch the game but damn TT has really upped his game last few matches. 35 pts what the ****! Nice to see Marbury getting less points and more assists now, as he should be. We all know he can score loads of points but now that he's contributing more on the assists we are winning games. Coincidence? I think not. A few weeks ago the Knicks I don't think would have won this game, credit to the team for turning it round.
I am soo excited for the next game.... i am finally looking forward to these games, and I want to see Tiny.... I mean Tim Thomas play like he did these past games. Cmon people someone make me a TT sig....lol

I wish we would've won by 10+, but the heart pumping OT win will boost our morale. I expect some VERY rough practices this week, the emphasis on defense now that Nazr and the failure four are gone will be extreme now that our bench is full of productive contributors. Oh yeah, I don't want to get everyone too rattled up, but I think Tim Thomas is on more than just a streak. It looks as if he's changed his entire philosophy...he's no longer settling for jumpers and is attacking the hoop. Also, he's putting more into his defense than he has been. Marbury once again played team ball and that is why we dominated the game untill the end. I'll admit it, I was watching 24 during the breakdown, so maybe someone could explain to me what exactly happend. All ball. All determination. One team. Knicks pride.

Tim Thomas Looks rejuvinated, like when he was on the buck, penetrating the defense and taking smart jumpers. He looks like a new player on the court, anyone see that little conflict between him and penny, but then they hugged after the crazy win.
