Not much to say here. It was a mismatch from the start as the Knicks brought the pain from the tip. They took a 13-0 lead and never really looked back. I said it a few weeks ago and I'll say it again... Toney Douglas has a chance to be a star in this league and can easily be the point guard of the future. Everyone expects the Knicks to pursue Chris Paul or Deron Williams after Chauncey's contract expires, but a year and half from now there might not be a debate on who to choose... neither. Toney still has a lot to learn about running the point, but he brings it every night and competes on the defensive end. He looks like a young Chauncey Billups and a year and a half from now he might take Chauncey's job. If Toney's ready, that sends the Knicks pursuit away from the point guard position and directly towards superman. TD, Landry, Melo, Stat, Howard... I LIKE IT.
But Superman and that super team are more then a year away from fruition, so the focus remains on this 2011 bunch that seems to be gelling at the right time. Of course the defense still needs a load of work, but the chemistry is really developing on the offensive end and the guys are feeling much more comfortable. Now they have 5 more games to "work out the kinks" as Melo says everytime he speak to Tina, and fight for 6th seed. Either way we are playing the Celtics or Heat so whether they catch Philly or not the goal is to remain hot and head into the playoffs with confidence.
Just imagine MSG during game 3 of a 1-1 series. Lets go
