Owner Real Deal Posted January 9, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The New York Knicks and Charlotte Bobcats have gone in opposite directions since they met Wednesday.The Knicks will be seeking a third straight victory and a measure of revenge for last week's home loss to the Bobcats in this rematch Monday night at Madison Square Garden. These clubs both had 2-4 marks after Charlotte (2-6) shot a season-high 55.3 percent in a 118-110 victory at New York (4-4) on Wednesday. The Bobcats have lost two straight since while the Knicks have made improvements on the defensive end in two consecutive road wins. New York limited Detroit to 37.2 percent shooting in Saturday's 103-80 win. "I think it's just a growing process," center Tyson Chandler said. "These games are coming fast and we're a young team and we're coming together and we're learning one another." Now the Knicks are relishing the opportunity to face the Bobcats again. "We got Charlotte on Monday," forward Carmelo Anthony said. "We owe them. They came in our place and snuck one out, well we gave them one. So we want to redeem ourselves." Anthony had his streak of three straight 30-point efforts end Saturday as he matched a season low with 13. The superstar had trouble getting ready for the Knicks' fourth game in six days due to soreness all over his body.http://www.nba.com/games/20120109/CHANYK/gameinfo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Toney Douglas is the only player on the Knicks with a negative +/- right now.. cue my shocked reaction. Team goes from hero to zero with him in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I guess it's a positive that we won? lol Melo and Amar'e shot 13-43 (30%) and we were still able to squeak out a victory. Tyson shot 7-8 with 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals, and 20 points. Iman shot over 50% for 16 points, with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Douglas was horrendous again, Fields had some assists and rebounds but shot poorly. Happy we walked away with a W, because we shouldn't have.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 How is Charlotte not using Kemba in crunch time? Probably because at this point in Walker's career, Augustin is clearly a better player. Walker really isn't that productive as he struggles with the longer, athletic defenders in the NBA. He struggles to create seperation for his jumper, isn't all that great at getting to the rim and his jumper isn't all that consistent either. He may become a good player in the future and take over the starting job from Augustin, but he is not a better option than him as of right now. Unless he is lighting it up throughout the course of a game, which he was not doing tonight as he was like 2-9 or something, it only makes sense to go with the guard who is not only more experienced, but simply a better player.
