[QUOTE=VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]ironic how QRich was brought to the Knicks as a 3 point specialist, then under Larry Brown mysteriously became a "defensive specialist."
I guess when you put crap next to trash, it looks like gold.[/QUOTE]
He's also a good defender and rebounder too.

[QUOTE=SuperboyXX0018]He shut him down, watch the game.[/QUOTE]
The last play of the game was replayed daily. How was Mike Miller shut down on that play and why does one need to watch the entire game? :confusedshrug:
Oops you're an idiot poster. Nevermind.

Miller got a decent look, but the Knicks took him out of the game throughout. It wasthe 4+3 quarters of forcing him into uncomfortable shots and rotating to him that eventually took its toll and made him miss.

Mike lost his shot during all of the second half thanks to q-rich and the knicks D.

Not anymore. Last year? Yeah. Now? We've got James, Hudson, Jaric, Foye, Davis, McCants, Hassell, and Reed at 1-3. Two of them would have to move for us to get Francis, and you've got to think that one of them would have to be Hudson.

[QUOTE=Joey Zaza]I think you have to evaluate teams regardless of opponent and regardless of outcome. You can win and play poorly and you can lose playing well. I guess, once we get into the season, some teams are measuring sticks (SA, Pho, Dall), but basically, worry about yourself...
The Knicks did the following things that were bad:
1. Panicked and went one-on-one, hoisting bad shots, when things got tough in the 4th. All the things that have been bad about the knicks for 5 years were present last night.
2. They didn't run. They didn't run because the couldn't defend and when they did defend, they really didn't rebound well. All the things that have been bad about the knicks for 5 years were present last night...

I see your point for the most part but I have to disagree with these to a degree.
The Knicks ran for almost 3 quarters. Since your eyes saw things differently than mine I'll point to the 30 fastbreak points off of 13 Memphis turnovers as evidence.
They stopped running because the refs started calling the game differently mid-way thru the third. The game changed on them and they struggled to adjust properly.
Which lead to the one on one's and bad shots. The Knicks guards, much like Memphis' guards, were able to get into the lane more or less at will. The Knicks started focusing their attack on this but couldn't finish once they got a reasonably good look.
