    The last time Melo played we beat them by 28 points.

    Calm the hell down.

    Every time we play the NYK it's a special occasion and we break out the screens for Lin. None of that cheap 2 screens on Calderon for an entire half krap today. It was raining screens for Lin today. It's like Xmas, birthday, and new years all roll into one for him (shoutout to Royce White).

    ;)

    Harden was awesome tonight, like he is every night, but someone needs to pull him up on his defensive game. His offensive game is mint!

    Yeah, Melo playing, Melo not playing. It doesn't matter. It's a blowout loss for the Knicks.

    We'll see more of those as the season progresses. That Knicks team is hella overrated.

    Loved watching this game tonight.

    Observations:

    1) Lin got a ton of screens. Even Harden gave him a screen damnnn. Smith, Asik. All night, that's how Lin was able to get into the lane.

    2) For some reason, Knicks interior defense enjoy watching Lin drive and not contest his layups lol.

    3) More ball movement. I saw the ball move a lot more than the previous game.

    4) Have to say Harden is very good at drawing fouls...guy's a machine.

    5) This is the first time where I saw Lin smile so damn much since he has been on this team. I think he really loved sticking it to the Knicks. I'm really happy for him.

    Agreed he wasn't horrible. He just needs to stop trying to create for himself too hard and stick to his strengths. Cutting and shooting off the ball.

    I can't help it, I was seriously pissed, but luckily calming down. Sports is not good for me, too emotional :)

    harden and lin didnt play better "together"

    it was just simply lin playing more aggressive...imagine when they actually develop some chemistry, granted..if lin plays with this much aggression every night

    If Harden improves his defense, he will be a superstar. Right now he's just a star
