    Almost like Lin needs incentive to pick his play up and attack, he's capable.

    Great Win!
    I hope our coach finally got some ideas about how to harmonize our backcourt combo.
    Harden and Lin can play well together.

    Wow, I kept hearing that the Knicks were really good this year... hasn't looked that way in these two games, neither of which was even close. Rockets!

    It will never end with some LOF. Whatever, we won that's great. Good game by harden and lin. I miss the consistent 10 points 10-15 rebounds Asik, and the good shooter in Parsons

    Even though Parson didn't have a great game and it's clear Asik still needs to work on finishing, everyone played well, and this win was satisfying as hell. When the garden was quiet was so damn joyous! haha, awesome win, I'm glad TJ got some playing time too!

    Good game, although what is up with how anyone starting at our PF position just stops trying to rebound?

    A LOT of goods so I will only focus on the bad.

    I HATE how Lin went back to being passive, I loved that one play where Harden gave Lin the ball then slowly jogs as far away from him as possible, but Lin proceeds to pass off immediately to Morris I think and it resulted in the turnover.

    Aggressive Lin = fantastic, passive Lin = one of the worst starting PGs in the league.

    I think this is the reason behind all of Lin's big games, otherwise he plays passive.

    They started well in the first two games of the season, and then all of the sudden, things have changed. Comparing to those 2 games, today's game is even better, because it wasn't just those 2, Harden and Lin, other players are involved. Involvement in the offense will encourage players to do more defensively, and move more in offense to become available.

    Keep it going, this team will be exciting to watch.

    Give it a rest. That tune you're playing is almost as old as the knicks.

    The reason Parson played bad...is bc...you know...its NYC...and you know that guy was out last night...and i bet you they are gonna be out tonight...wish i was in the city...lollll

    JLin was praying to have a good game...and he had a great one...Harden was his usual self...

    Man i love Omer defensively...but we have to find a way for him to get better offensively...

    Great bounce back game after a really bad loss...in Toronto

    What did I say that wasn't true? It's not a good way to end a blowout by letting it get to 12-10 points, it just isn't. Yes we were very lucky Melo didn't play and some shot fell because we didn't play much defense most of the night.

    Maybe those fickle supposed "high BBIQ" fans at the Garden will start some Copelandsanity now and rally around some garbage time all-star. Good luck with that.
