    Two turnovers after 1:30. Sweet.

    BigBlueAL says:

    Great start for Chandler, cant get a defensive rebound and 2 fouls in 3 mins.

    ess-dog says:

    Two quick fouls on Chandler. That’s probably the game right there.

    Melo the only Knick starter who hasn’t scored!

    Thomas B. says:

    So far I like this guy who replaced Toney Douglas. He even has the same number.

    I just tuned in. I’m still not a believer but Jorts played some great defense on that possession where they forced the shot clock violation.

    Jerome Jordan already with two nice defensive plays. This kings team is bad though.

    ess-dog says:

    I actually think Evans/Thornton are only slightly better than the Douglas/Fields combo.

  9. 9
    Z says:

    Jerome Jordan with a nice block too.

    He has looked pretty good in his limited minutes this season. I like that he’s getting some 1st Q playing time (even if it is because of Chandler’s foul trouble)

    15-0 run

    Nice pick Melo!

    ess-dog says:

    Man, Fields is like bad, good, bad, good, bad, good….

  13. 13
    Z says:

    D’Antoni’s an offensive (and defensive!) genius!

  14. 14
    Z says:

    This unit is awesome. Harrelson, Jordan, TD, Fields, and an invisible Carmelo Anthony.

  15. 15
    ess-dog says:

    Almost a fantastic flash and flush by Jordan (d’oh)

  16. 16
    BigBlueAL says:

    Jordan a nice presence on D so far. 3 fouls though already lol

  17. 17
    ess-dog says:

    I’m scared at how lively this team looks w/o Amare…

  18. 18
    Z says:

    Jordan is a +12 with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block.

  19. 19
    ess-dog says:

    Hayes guarding Melo at the arc… I’ll take that all day.

  20. 20
    BigBlueAL says:

    Melo at PF now with Jorts at C.

    Z says:

    Unfortunately, all of our 1st quarters have been good this year. We must brace ourselves for the future…

    Thomas B. says:

    Josh!

    ess-dog says:

    Man, Fredette looks pretty ordinary out there. Glad we didn’t sell the farm for him.

  24. 24
    BigBlueAL says:

    Safe to sat best quarter of the season so far.

    Life as it should be.

    ess-dog says:

    Wow, Jorts. Wow.

  27. 27
    BigBlueAL says:

    Jorts is a bit too trigger happy lol

  28. 28
    hoolahoop says:

    I guess we should trade Amare and TC.

    iserp says:

    nice pass from Bibby!

  30. 30
    hoolahoop says:

    Does anyone notice a pattern with TC?

    joe says:

    I’m telling y’all memo is gonna go off in the second half I’m telling ya and Jorge with 11 in place of STAT WHAT!!!!!!

  32. 32
    BigBlueAL says:

    Melo needs to return ASAP

  33. 33
    Z says:

    3rd quarters have been our nightmares this season… Let’s break that trend going into the new year!

  34. 34
    ess-dog says:

    Douglas just can’t hit a runner or a layup any more.
    But I’m encouraged by our front court depth all of a sudden.

    Jorge? Is Jorts secretly Latino?

    jon abbey says:

    one more half like that, please.

  37. 37
    Z says:

    Robert Silverman (@BobSaietta): Jorge? Is Jorts secretly Latino?

    Memo and Jorge– our two best auto-corrected players today.

    ess-dog says:

    Harrellson really spreads the floor for us.

  39. 39
    ess-dog says:

    wow, a nice pass by… Douglas?

  40. 40
    BigBlueAL says:

    Only way Knicks lose this game is for the Kings to go 3pt crazy, so of course on back-to-back possessions Knicks leave Greene open from 3pt range and he buries both.

  41. 41
    ess-dog says:

    lol Melo’s really bullying guys out there.

  42. 42
    ess-dog says:

    One thing that works in our favor is that Sacto really, really sucks.

  43. 43
    jon abbey says:

    one more quarter like that, please.

    Loving the td to chandler connection.

    Prepare for the inevitable “we’re a better team without Amare” posts.

    I think its safe to say the main reason the Knicks will win tonight is the opponent and not Amar’e being out lol

  47. 47
    BigBlueAL says:

    Chandler has earned his entire contract tonight lol

  48. 48
    BigBlueAL says:

    Alright guys Im out, time to celebrate at midnight.

    Happy New Year’s and remember the Knicks will start 2012 in 1st place in the Atlantic Division!!

    Thomas B. says:

    Not an awful team as long as the shots go in.

    Haaaaaah Knicks have made my NYE, now still have to figure out STAT’s role in all this. See y’all Tuesday and where is that Cock dude the Knicks hater.

    Spree8nyk8 says:

    Happy New Year guys….

  52. 52
    Z-man says:

    Happy New Year to all! I have already had my share! The main difference tonight is that Toney and Landry showed up. Toney actually looked like a PG tonight. Thanks, Jorts, for plaing like an NBA player. Oh yeah, that Melo guy who doesn’t make anyone better, played a perfect game tonight. Would love to hear the Melo hatersw acknowledge that he has played great since coming to the Knicks.

    bobneptune says:

    the best thing going forward is douglas actually executed a few consecutive side pnr’s with chandler in the 4th quarter

    For the record, Knicks are .500 and sit atop the Atlantic division… Happy new year!

    Howard Beck on Twitter::

    “Here’s your New Year’s present, Knicks fans: Iman Shumpert said he is ahead of schedule and “very optimistic” about return in 1-2 weeks”

    SHUMP SHUMP

    Jorts with 12 Pts and 14 boards. Haven’t seen a line like that much since David Lee. Lol
    Very balanced attacku

    MSG just pulled out of Time Warner Cable because they couldn’t get a contract extension. I’m gonna have to wait for national games (TNT, ESPN) until they fix this dispute.

    Yeah, me, too. This is pretty hilarious. This ridiculous game of chicken between the two sides is, well, you know, ridiculous. Ah well. I am sure it will not last long.
