I was impressed with the Knicks last night - to a point. They kept the high-flying Suns to the mid-80s in points. The Suns did not even attempt a FT until the mid-4th quarter. And with a couple possessions to go, the Knicks were right there. I only watched the second half, but from what i could tell, the Knicks could not get the ball down low to their big men. When they did, Mo' Taylor missed his little hook shot and "Big" Jackie Butler was playing a little out of control. Eddy Curry was basically invisible.

While it was nice to see old friend Kurt Thomas - he did a number in the interior with 12 boards, 9 defensive.

C'mon Knicks, you're getting better...and you've already had to endure 2 west-coast trips in your first 19 games. With that, the Knicks are still only 3.5 games out of first place in the pathetic Atlantic divison. The schedule is clearly set up for the Knicks to win the divison. sweet.
