		<description><![CDATA[after game coach Woodson said he forgot about copeland in the first half. said he got em in there in the second half and said &quot;he played his ass off&quot;.  really hope he makes final roster seems like the type of player that can change the intensity of the game just on high energy and hustle plays off the bench. good feeling bout this group. GO KNICKS!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t agree with putting much stock into pre season games, especially when playing Boston (they don&#039;t play @ 100% when the games count lol). Beating the Cs always feels great, though. That said, I am standing by my prediction of us besting the Cs in the season series 3-1. Outside of Rondo, Bradley, Pierce and Garnett, that team is extremely average. I don&#039;t see how people think that team is clearly better than ours.

I still need to see how this team plays with Stat on court. I think Woodson needs to run the P&amp;R primarily with Chandler and with Stoudemire (only) when Camby is on court. This way, there is always a mid range threat to complement the P&amp;R. If Melo, Stat, and Chandler can be synergistic on offense, we&#039;ll have the 2nd seed.]]></description>

now you&#039;re getting the hang of this Knicks fan thing, except we never ever ever beat Paul Pierce and Rondo when it counts. I hope you&#039;re right, though...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FWIW, Melo has a 63 TS through the first two games, 40 points in 45 minutes on 25 shots, with just two turnovers. 

He and Chandler are (combined) averaging a +11.5 in an average of just 24 mpg. 


The three Knicks starters (going into the season) were a +3.5 against a Boston team playing all of its starters, and down just one core bench piece (assuming Terry is a starter). 


A night after Knickerblogger posters bitched about not bing able to win when the team shoots poorly from thh 3pt line, the Knicks beat Boston going 3-29 from 3. 

The outscored Boston&#039;s starters despite the Knicks starters going 1-8 from three. 

Raymond Felton has 15 assists in 43 minutes. 

Fuck, this was not a pre-season game. The Knicks scored pretty well on offense considering they were facing the league&#039;s best defensive team from last year.

Those kinds of teams have a tendency to force offenses into tough looks most nights, and that&#039;s one of the reasons you pay Carmlo Anthony $20 million a year, especially when you are missing scoring punch. 

And sidestep, JR is going to play a lot of minutes with Melo. Your logic is horrid.]]></description>
