    No, I have to disagree. That horrible posession really didn't do us well. That somewhat deflated our confidence and it would have been really over had someone on the Knicks made an offensive rebound.

    Of course not as much if Padgett didn't make that shot. But, we lost the game, so fingers are pointed. That's just the way it is.

    I'm sorry but you're quite simply wrong. That final Knicks turnover was the difference maker. Had Marbury or Crawford so much as threw the ball towards the direction of the basket the Rockets wouldnt have had enough time to get that shot off. In fact considering the Rockets prowess or lack thereof(I think that's how it's spelled) in rebounding it's very likely the Knicks would have gotten the offensive rebound and really iced the game. The Rockets didnt win that game so much as the Knicks lost it. I would have still been mad had Padgett missed and the Knicks won because it's those kinds of stupid errors that can cost the Knicks the game, just like it did tonight.
