Knicks Recap: Nets draw first blood against the Knicks.

No Amar'e. No Shumpert. No Kidd. Missed free throws by Melo. 3-19 shooting performance from Raymond Felton, and the Knicks still had a three point lead over the Nets with a 1:40 left in the 4th quarter. Tyson Chandler was a beast against the Nets, and after his put back dunk to give the Knicks a three point lead it looked like it was going to be a Knicks win. Instead Williams, and Lopez pulled through late forcing the game into OT. In overtime the Nets were too much for the Knicks as they got the win 96-89.

(Best team in New York?)

The Good: Tyson Chandler 28 points, 10 rebounds. Tyson was great, and he was by far the Knicks best player in the game outside of Carmelo Anthony.

Melo was good for 46 minutes, we will talk about the bad coming up.

Defense for Mike Woodson's team returned tonight as they limit the Nets to only 84 points in regulation.

The Bad: Raymond Felton, 3-19 shooting, was off tonight and it hurt the Knicks big time. Luckily for him he will have a chance to redeem quickly as the Knicks play the Bucks on Wednesday.

3 point shooting, the Knicks have been great behind the arc but against the Nets they couldn't find their touch.

Carmelo Anthony missed key free throws through out the game, and was unable to finish it.

Up Next: The Knicks play the Bucks on Wednesday and then they play the 0-12 Wizards on Friday. As far as the next time the Knicks and Nets play it will be on Tuesday December 11th at the Barclays once again.

Leave some comments on your thoughts on the game, and does this game prove that the Nets are the team to be in NYC.

Intro



After reading many others talk about the Knicks meltdown against the Houston Rockets I have decided to create a blog in which I talk about my views of the New York Knicks. I have seen this team succeed and fail over the years. The 12-13' edition is off to a great start since they do not have All-Star PF Amar'e Stoudemire, and one of the best young SGs Iman Shumpert. Both are out with injury and once they return we should get to see the best the Knicks have to offer.

On Monday I will recap the first ever New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets game as well as preview the rest of the Knicks' week. Every Sunday I will break the the games that took place during the previous days. Each week we will have a "Knick of the Week" and discuss the upcoming week. Thanks for reading, and I am looking foward to see what is to come. #knickstape
