The Knicks lost again last night. Sigh. But it was not all bad - after all, Phoenix is the second best team in the league (1/2 a game out of best team overall). The Knicks hung tough last night - especially being short on players - TimThom, Moochie, Allan Who?ston and Penny were unavailable.

Trevor Ariza played his ass off. The Knicks genuinely appeared to try and get the ball in down low to Sweetney and Nazr, and they did a half decent job of pushing Amare Stoudemire out of the paint. But Stoudemire is getting Commercial Guy level respect from the refs now, so you can't look at him without getting a foul call.

Keep it up Herb - let's go get Bron-Bron on friday.
