I went to last nights Knick game with my 8 yr old son. Here are my random observations.
MSG was PACKED with Celtic fans. I’d say 1 in 5 had C’s gear on. Lots of back and forth with Knicks fans, but you could tell neither was really had their hearts in it. What was the point?
Loud booing from the crowd when it was apparent that KG, Pierce and Ray weren’t playing.
Loud booing when it was apparent Isiah was still coaching the Knicks.
MSG said free food night, and they weren’t kidding. No lines either, since they had triple the staff working. The sad part was that some people just GORGED themselves. The father and son sitting in front of us downed 2 giant sausage dogs each, ice cream, popcorn, pretzel, sodas & candy. Unreal.
Scal was doing a really goofy dance during the Knick announcements. I hope someone captured that for YouTube.
TA looks like he’s totally lost confidence in his game. He’d hit every shot at shootaround and in breaks, and then just clank them during the game. If his game is all about confidence, where does he go from here?
Neither team seemed all that interested in playing until late in the 3rd & 4th. This drove a woman sitting near us out of her mind (what was left of it). “COME ON! START BAWWWLIN!!!!!!!” Hilarious.
Sam seems to have settled down into his game. Although he had me scared when he came out with a giant heating pad strapped to his back during halftime. He seemed fine afterwards. In fact, he seemed to take it to the Knicks singlehandedly. Amazing.
Has Zach Randolf ever passed the ball? In his entire career? He didn’t last night, even if he didn’t have a shot. Incredible.
I never noticed this before, but Posey appears to have NO midrange game. It’s 3’s or layups. Nothing in between. That said, his 3’s keep the C’s in the game.
New Yorkers LOVE David Lee. It’s easy to see why. He seems to be the only Knick that’s interested in playing 48 minutes of basketball on gameday.
Lastly, it was enjoyable for a scrimmage game. It’s great that Doc is giving the bench this time to gel. We had fun. And yes, it helped that the food was free.
LuckyNumber07, Nice summary. I would add that we saw something new from the C’s last nite, Rondo posting up an opponent’s guard. I don’t think he missed a shot and even included a fade away that I’ve never seen him do before. He did this in he second half after Doc told him to use his speed (and he sure did). Rondo just keeps learning and getting better with each quarter almost. He’s played 1
and a half seasons basically and he’s got the “green lite” from his coach. Like you, LuckyNumber07, I’m concerned about TA. Hope he can come out of it.
