  1. Decent transition defense by Amar'e, but Turkoglu hits a big three.
  2. Aside from a late three, Richardson has sleptwalked through the entire game.
  3. This is why Nelson will play down the stretch and not Arenas---a fantastic rotation on a Chandler drive leads to a charge.
  4. The Knicks have been switching screens this second half ans Howard dunks through Chandler and Gallo, but Stoudemire comes back and overwhelms Howard in the post.
  5. Great rotation by Redick to hustle in and deflect the pass.
  6. Shawne Williams hits a three and gives up two more but not bothering to stay with the ball-handler going to the basket.
  7. Whenever the Knicks make a run, Stoudemire picks up a foul and has to take a seat on the bench,
  8. That's a forced shot by Arenas. There's no room to shoot over Stoudemire, and then Arenas commits a double dribble. No focus.
  9. J.J. Redick has evolved into a terrific player over the past few years. He just hit a step back jumper very impressively.
  10. Orlando isn't sagging their wings into the paint on screens because Turiaf isn't a threat near the basket. Howard can zone screens, and the wings don't have to stray far from their checks along the perimeter.
  11. Stoudemire bites on Turkoglu pump fake and picks up his 4th foul. Huge turning point in this game.
  12. Stoudemire moves over smartly, draws a charge. He's a better defender in New York than he ever was in Phoenix.
  13. The Knicks forwards are clobbering the Magic on the boards when Howard isn't around. And the Knicks' starting unit is playing active defense.
  14. Howard is so strong, he doesn't need to extend his arms and shove away Galinari to post up. They're not just offensive fouls, they're unnecessary fouls.
  15. Wilson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire are the only players playing well for the Knicks right now.
  16. Nice playcall, Nelson curls off a double screen, ends up with Chandler on him, sinks a step back jumper.
  17. Bass simply isn't comfortable on the perimeter. He goes under a brush screen, Chandler ends up making a wide open three.
  18. I really love when the Knicks curl Stoudemire off of an elbow screen. It's such a strange play and real tough for opponents to stop.
  19. Ray Felton isn't trying to finish strong enough. He's trying to put up scoop layups over Earl Clark instead of going through him. On the other defensive end, Williams isn't as good at zoning an area as New York's more conventional bigs and this is turning into a blowout.
  20. Williams just drops a pass that hits him right in the hands. The Knicks need to keep executing or they'll get blown out...as Fields is late on a rotation and Bass dunks, plus a foul.
  21. There's the postup and the Knicks predictably have no answer,
  22. But instead of posting Howard, the Magic run screen/roll.
  23. Wilson Chandler is playing the center. This is trouble for the Knicks.
  24. Now that New York has started to play some better opponents, their lack of size, their inability to rebound, and their lack of depth are really being picked apart.
