The New York Knicks came up short in an overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, but they finished up the rest of the week with wins over the Bucks and Wizards. On Sunday they beat the Suns at MSG to add on to their undefeated start at home. The Knicks are currently in first place in the Atlantic Division with a 12-4 record. Pablo Prigioni has looked very good in the absence of Jason Kidd, who should hopefully be back next week, and it is good to see Steve Novak making his three pointers. Carmelo Anthony has been great, and outside of the Nets game Raymond Felton has been very good this week. JR Smith struggled through out the week besides the Wizards game.It was also fun to watch Rasheed Wallace get ejected in the Suns game which lead to Chris Copeland making an impact during the game.
(Tyson Chandler vs. Nets)
Player of the Week....Tyson Chandler. Melo could be "Player of the Week" every single week, but I am going to go with Tyson Chandler this week. Tyson has been great with his rebounding and defense as always, but Tyson has also been able to help the Knicks on the offensive end with his scoring. Tyson scored a career high twenty-eight points. To go along with his twenty-eight points, Tyson scored 17 points against the Bucks. Tyson finished the week scoring in double figures in every game, and had three double-doubles.
Up Next: @ Bobcats on Wednesday, @ Heat on Thursday, @ Bulls on Saturday, and home vs. Nuggets on Sunday.
Comment below on who should be the Knick of the week, and what do you expect from the Knicks this upcoming week.
