Good lord, it was tough to stay awake during this game. The third quarter was the best for the Knicks. Melo played well as did Acey. And Calderon got some welcome floor time. The announcers - Breen in particular kept emphasizing how bad the 76ers were supposed to be as the Knicks made them look like the Spurs.
Stat scored and rebounded and watched 76ers blow by him to score in the paint. By now the rudimentary Triangle offense is working effectively.
Whatever promise THJ projected prior to this season has been washed away by an uncanny propensity to be entirely oblivious to the concept of defense. Gratefully, Fisher sat him often. I cannot hekp but believe he will be moved in the coming weeks.
Well, a win is a win but the 76ers hung around all game long. Considering how they were characterized by the announcers, the Knick performance indicates that they aren't so much better than the "worst NBA team ever assembled".
We look to be in for a rough ride in the short term.

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.
