Hate to Say I Told You So

Knicks Win! Triple overtime. What a game. I was on my feet at the end of the fourth and during each overtime. Lee played tremendously well as a starter, Steph was aggressive in crunch time and Jamal was effective throughout the game. I have to admit, I don't think they would have won tonight if Eddy Curry didn't play the way he did during the fourth and into the overtimes. He was a reliable threat in the post and got fouled nearly every time they got the ball to him in the post. No disrespect to Lee and Steph but Curry was the MVP of the game IMO. The game wouldn't have even gone to a single overtime had the Knicks been able to make their free throws, Knicks would have won it in regulation. This has been a problem for the knicks since summer league. make your free throws New York!

Nash and the Matrix (aka shawn marion) are true competitors with unbeliveable talent.


Knicks 140 Suns 133, 3OT

Steph 32pts 10a 5r
David Lee 23pts 15r 3st 10 for 11 field goals! are you kidding me? (all season highs plus a season high 51 minutes)
Curry 20pts 15r 1bl
Crawford 29pts 7r 7a 2st
Frye 10pts (including a nasty dunk on the Irishman Pat Burke)
Nash 28pts 22a 5r
Matrix 38pts 14r

Suns took 44 3pt field goal attempts in one game...
