Three of the past four possessions the Knicks were able to get the ball to Curry right under the basket, basically in perfect position. That's troublesome.
OK, that was nerve-wracking, especially Curry getting the rebound underneath (since when does he try to rebound?). We need a 3 just to stay in it. Not exactly our strong suit.

Ok so just finished up with it, didnt look as bad as i expected.
Telfair is unbelievably quick... can beat anybody up the floor even with the ball in his hands, looked very precise with everything he was doing, needs to work on his shooting but he should be playing like a pass first player anyway... i still see great things for him and hopefully he is set in the rotation for the season.
Mccants looks like a star... at times, but he has the drive of a superstar, the attitude is there, took a 3 and it bobbled around the rim before dropping and he was angry at himself "****"! lol, looks good on defense aswell i think this could well be his break out year.
Smith and Gomes both look very solid, very rarely make mistakes... and both can score very quickly in bunches, which is more rare for big men.
Jefferson is fantastic when he has a man 1 on 1, when he gets doubled he tends to dissapear for a few minutes at a time... he also looks very uncomfortable when he should be putting the ball on the floor to attack the rim... great, strong rebounder though.
Ratliff is a huge surprise and actually fits into this team very well.
Jaric drives me insane... i know the guy has talent but he slows down the entire offense, even when matched up against nate (11 inch advantage) he refuses to go to the hole, frustrates me no end... we need to package him with gerald and try to get something of use in return.
Brewer got in foul trouble, hard to see anything from this one, nice big block though
Buckner/Walker.... meh
all in all we actually looked pretty good, Curry/Crawford/Marbury were almost scoring at will though we need to work on our D. Foye would have helped so much and especially in close games he will be the go to guy in the 4th.
0-2 , oh well.. Boston is keeping avalanche at .500 for the season so far lol
Oh and Walt Frazier is THE coolest announcer in the league... the tone in his voice sounds like he should just be a colour commentator but everything he says is spot on and really informative, ill probably watch a few more knicks games just for that
