    F*ckin choked, what else is new?
    Othella Harrington kicked our a**...
    Him and Charlie Ward got the Knicks back into it, and the Rockets missed like the last 7 shots they took. Moochie misses a dumb a** free throw, and we just choked...:(

    Man that is a HORRIBLE Knicks team, you can't lose games like that. That team isn't going to the playoffs, even without Francis we slapped them around in their building and had to collapse to give them a win. You can't blow games to bad teams like that, even if it was in their building.

    I only saw the ending of the 2nd quarter, but I did notice that
    Eddie blocked two shots, and changed a couple of shots.

    He only played one more minute in the second half because Rudy is a dumb sh*t. Since the Rockets got a HUGE lead in the 3rd, he decided to stick with them for the REST of the game...sucha dumb a**. :mad:

    Rudy has to be blamed for this sorry game ending. Why is he having problems going with the atheletes. Another one is Mobley. Ugly shot by him. Too reliant on Rice. Rudy is just confused.

    I particularly liked how rudy put in Mobley when torres was hustling on defense and lighting it up on offense. Mobes is coming off an ankle injury and rudy plays him 40 minutes? I'm starting to think that rudy is so concerned with keeping the star players happy that he doesn't have the balls to sit them when others are clearly more effective at a particular time in the game. Is rudy the coach or just a puppet?

    I like how we always give that last shot to Mobley even though it's pretty obvious he can't make a clutch shot worth a ****...
    I love the guy but damn... he needs to calm down and get some composure for those final few shots... :(

    Is this supposed to be sarcasm?:confused: Cat is the most clutch player on the team, even Jordan missed more crunch time shots than he made. Cat has the killer instinct and wants the last shot, that is the kind of player I want on my team.

    Speaking of the last shot ... Rudy T said after the game, "I did not like the shot selection at the end of the game. They should have just gotten a good shot."

    Somehow I don't read Rudy's mind ... is he talking about the Mobley shot or the last few shots? I really liked the shot selection towards the end of the game. A couple open shots for the Mooch and a wide open 3 for Rice. Yeah yeah yeah ... say whatever you like about the shot by Mobley. I think in that situation "shoot early" would give us one more chance in case we missed. Plus the shot was not way off; it was just a little long. Well, the bad thing is we made none of those shots we took. :(

    One more note ... Rice was asked if the Knicks got enough in return for his departure, replying, "The guys they got, I'm not going to say anything to discredit those guys, but they definitely don't have the jump shot that I have." DAMMIT Glen! Then bring back your damn shot, Glen!!! Give me 15 ppg and I am pleased!

    Id that isn't dissing Shandon, then I don't know WHAT is.


    Barring last night's game though, I think we would've been better off with Shandon. None provide O, but Shandon provides decent D.


    I think Glen is gonna continue playing well from now on though. I liked his performance.

    P.S. Houston and Sprewell. How many Jumpshooters do the Knicks need?
