This was a game we should have won and we did which is not to say that there weren't moments where it could have gotten ugly. The win snapped a seven game losing streak. The Knicks played without Shumpert who is still healing from a hip contusion.
Melo had a terrific game as did Sam. But the star of the game was JR Smith who scored 28 (the same as Melo) and added steals, assists, and great defensive play throughout the game. The Knicks also executed the rudimentary Triangle offense at will and seamlessly throughout the game. The defense was outstanding.
The third quarter featured a micro-meltdown in the Nuggets making up 15 or more points to cut the lead to 9 points or so.
The starting unit came back in the fourth to squash that Nuggets rally.

Necessities
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.
