Every win that we get early in the season is something to celebrate. The team is just learning the system and things can get ugly. In the first quarter the Knicks went up by double figures and as the quarter closed were up by just a few points. From then on the lead continuously exchanged hands.
Kudos to Melo for attaining 20,000 NBA points AND once again hit a late game clutch shot. And kudos to STAT for a double - double game.
However the real hero of this game was Pablo Prigioni who rescued an errant pass from Shumpert and passed the ball back to Shumpert who hit a three to help seal the game. It should be noted that Shumpert scored well and played defense well. However, his shot selection and risky play thankfully were tempered by Prigioni in the clutch and others throughout the game.
Shumpert is re-establishing his sea legs after enduring a year of Woodson so its too early to be upset with his play unless it either deteriorates or goes unrescued to cost us games.
JR and THJ both played very well.
The team remains a work in progress. Rick Fox's NBA TV analysis was priceless.

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.
