Backcourt violation!  Nice start.  JKid and Felton backcourt, adavantage Knicks.  Watch for them to put up over 20 threes against us.  Their only hope.

Anthony gaurding BG.  So far, two CP3 threes, due to respect to BG.  I like Shumpert, good fit on the Knicks.

Knicks lowest in NBA in TO's per game.  That suprised me.  With JR Smith and Anthony, I thought that would be impossible.  I guess a J Kidd, Felton backcourt could help that.

I'm pretty sure NY is toast.  They can't guard the Clippers.

Sometimes teams that shoot a lot shoot it before they can turn it over.

 

Nash's Dallas teams were always one of the fewest in TOs.

Timeout NY.  They're gasping for air, and the Clippers are about to remove their only source of oxygen.

We need to make threads, if they're early starts the next day, the night before then.  :)

Great pick and roll dunk by Griffin.  I want to see more of that, and less Griffiin isolating (in general).

 

Because Griffin is better at that.

 

Billups and Butler have been moving the ball well on the perimeter.

The Knicks have not impressed so far.

We look much better with everyone falling into their proper roles....

Crawford completes his obligatory step over the line play in the first half.  What's the over/under on him doing it again in the 4th quarter?  I'd put it at 60/40.

That was a pretty solid first half.  Shooting pretty well, running some great plays on the fly. 

Knicks not shooting well.  I can't say it's due to the Clips defense, though, so don't expect it to stay that way in the 2nd half.

Blake has too many turnovers, again. He's been a turnover machine lately.

Looking forward to seeing Chauncey and CP3 get to the line in the 2nd half if the game gets tight. Yay, freethrows!

That sucks. Clips standing around while Carmelo shoots an open three.  4 point game.  They're keeping us out of the paint now.

Chauncey with a nice three.  Then next play he tries again and fails the heat test.  Three point game. Lets see some paint.

 

Shot clock violations oh nooooos

Like Hubie said, if I'm VDN I'm very unhappy.  They're passing it around well but without off-the-ball player movement so it doesn't lead anywhere but jumpshots. "Blake just stands there and doesn't move off the ball". 

Cmon guys.  At least bring some energy. Looking tired.

I don't know, but it seems like we make a few outside shots and the bigs stop executing and start spectating.

Crawford was a good idea.

They said that Barnes started because they had trouble defending Carmelo

            I don't like the VDN offense, and even H Brown complains about how Griffin is s used... playing like a SF instead of a PF, playing away from the basket.Cool

He's complaining about how Griffin is playing, not how he is used.

               They were saying that G Hill has a sore foot also...!    Puts big pressure now on Barnes to perform..

Blake is so concerned with making spectacular open court plays that he's screwing his team

The Clippers look desperate and confused.

 

Those were words to describe the Knickerbockers in the first half.

              I don't see it as a Griffin problem... He is and always has been a very coachable player..If Griffin style is not adequate, it is the coach's fault.. Some might not like hearing this, but it is 100 % true....

 

               Griffin and the Clippers are following the   VDN game plan and style.. My interpretation, is VDN is a " Guard mentality coach"..  We really need a Center mentality coach, like a Mchale.. Someone who knows how to utilize our big people to help the little guys...

 

                 Every time I watch the VDN offense, and the way Griffin is used, makes me nauseous

Nice pass, Odom to Bledsoe for the layup.

 

Can the Clippers step up their defense?  NY is going to be gunning for 3's.

Of course you don't. Never have, never will.  Hubie criticizes him twice for not getting back on D, and Sooner thinks "coach's fault".

Blake is playing like he's in the Allstar game on national TV. He's trying for spectacular showoff plays, fast breaks, away from the basket so he can run out, and no defense. I've seen seven Knicks points in the 3rd quarter that were the result of Blake's methods.

         wow...I am impressed with the reserves play in the 2nd half... Bledsoe, Crawford are playing lights out ...  Even Hill, Odom and Hollins look good.  They are winning the game for us.

             Now you are seeking to  use past history against me... If we go by the Griffin curve.. you have no say as to Griffin...What again was your original Griffin prediction....  12 - 8... was you prediction I believe his rookie year...

 

              Just because I am high on Griffin, and history of this, does not mean my opinion is less accurate but more...  Need I interpret this for you Mr. Glanton..?

Yeah, it's awesome to have our bench back and intact.  Back to the good old days when they would get us leads or bring us back.

Yes, I can't understand a thing you just wrote.  All I know is, Griffin has been showboating and not getting back, and you are blaming the coach.  So either you have rose-colored glasses for Blake, or you are suffering from VDS (Vinnie Derangement Syndrome) like some of the other board members. But I don't think the latter is true.

          Melo and his size and movement is hurting us.     Griffin Complaining so much is justified by him getting fouled so much, but I still don't like it... He needs to complain with a smile and in transition.   Never seen a big man since shaq, get touch fouled and bumped so much without a foul.

Yeah the Shaq comparison has validity.  Both big and strong that refs don't call it when they get fouled because it doesn't look like they were banged hard.
