Observations on Losing to the 76ers

This was largely an unwatchable pre-season effort by the Knicks yet they lost by just a few points.

Once again, the Knicks were stone cold shooters. The second quarter, however was a highlight reel for the Knicks. They played some nice defense, triggered turnovers, and took a lead in the game. This was a sneak preview of what we hope will become typical rather than exceptional and periodic play.

Darko was looking good on defense, passing well, and surprisingly, is beginning to have some very nice chemistry with N8. They may become a very entertaining vaudeville act before long skunking opponents on offense.

Lee continues to be tenacious. Harrington shows signs of playing for keeps as well. Douglas and Hill were engaged and playing like they mean it.

Hughes has yet to find his shot. Gallo is an enigma.

Chandler was disappointing on both ends.

Duhon is becoming an invisible PG - no impact. And that's the first red flag for this season.

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
