Road Warriors

How about those Knicks.  After their 6 game losing streak, the team was under fire and many wanted the coach gone.  Now after winning 3 straight on their West Coast road trip, happiness is back in Knick land.   It wasn't like they beat the Lakers, Spurs, or Jazz, (they beat 3 crap teams) but wins against any team are important for them.  After the moves they made in the off season, it is imperative for them to be improved and make the playoffs.  This team has expectations that have not been there the past few years.

The Knicks still do not play any defense, allowing the Clippers to score 115 points.  They are 28th in the league in points allowed.  Their offense is the reason why they are winning.  Raymond Felton has played very well during the win streak and even Danilio Gallinari has began to play well.  Amare scored 39 and actually grabbed 11 rebounds in the Clipper game, and he is beginning to play up to the huge contract the Knicks gave him. 

The biggest story from the game though was Clippers rookie Blake Griffin.  He is an absolute beast, scoring 44 against the Knicks.  You have to check out these two dunks he had in the game.    


The Knicks are showing improvement.  Wins are wins are they need them no matter how they happen or who they are against.  This is a team that lost home games to the Sixers and Rockets.  They now need to start winning at home.  They have been terrible at the Garden and until they begin winning at home, the fans will not believe in this team.
