Well the Philly game already happened. Holiday had his shot going but overall Philly didn't have much fight. Meanwhile Melo does indeed look more engaged than he ever did under D'Antoni.

Looking forward to more, Ricky..., um, Kevin, no wait, Michael, shoot, um, let me check and see. ......


.....JJ Barea! Yeah, that's right. He's awesome.

Melo is actually playing solid defense so far, JR Smith too, it's actually scary. If the Knicks can continue playing defense and avoid iso Melo as their primary play on offense, they could realistically take Miami down to the wire in the playoffs.

Yeah the Knicks are going to be insufferable if they keep playing like that. Detroit just getting lambasted. Can anyone tell me why Tayshaun Prince is still getting starters minutes? Toronto's big Men are all in a time-share . Have to say, Pekovic's been a little disappointing. Wondering how much of his value last season was tied to Rubio. Somebody forgot to tell Orlando how tanking is supposed to work. Did ant one see this game. Was it a case of Phoenix being awful, or is Orlando better than we think....

Atlanta beat OKC at their place with Smith?

Amazing right? Haha, was a bit disappointed to not have JSmooth be an impact player for that victory. Well hopefully he recovers from that sprained ankle ASAP.
