    The defense was the key. Great steal by Cat late in the game after he messed up on offense. Shandon played great...he is really finding his shot lately. The refs blew one that finally went our way on the Camby foul, but we've had enough of those against us so I dont feel guilty at all. What do you guys say we win a big game at home Saturday?

    Mobley finally stepped up and drove to the basket instead of jacking a no-chance fadeaway. That was great to see.

    This was quite simply, the worst officiated game in the history of the game of basketball. Never before have I seen such a lopsidedly called game. It seems like the refs were inventing new kinds of fouls. Amazing... what was it, 10 offensive fouls called? 10 flops is what they were. Well refs, I commend your effort, but your beloved Knicks just didn't get the job done tonight. Maybe you should have given Mobley a technical for making a basket.

    My props to Mobley for not tapping the backboard or taunting for a T. You KNOW he wanted to rub it in Spreewells face.

    ROCKS!!

    Strange - the only foul mentioned in the recaps on NBA.com is the one LJ tried to get on his last shot attempt. [​IMG]

    Ya'll might find this pretty interesting...go check out the nba.com's recap of the Rockets/Knicks game...it pretty much favors the Knicks (even though the rockets one) Just to give u a little taste of wat it says, the first line states, "A horrible offensive collapse ruins a record-setting defensive accomplishment for the Knicks." And it gets better.

    It's hard to win a game when it's 5 on 8. But the Rockets did it, miraculously. It's like the REFS are in awe of the Garden. I was so angry for the entire game, it's hard to believe they were able to pull it out. I e-mailed Mark Cuban at half-time to suggest he get a tape of the game as ammo against the refs. After watching that game and the officiating, I am not impressed with any record the Knicks set. Do you think maybe the refs were aware of the record before the game began? The NBA had a hand in the Knicks setting their record. Too bad the Rockets' overcoming two entities to get the win will be an afterthought on ESPN tomorrow.
