The Knicks offense has gone totally cold with Stoudemire on the bench and some ugly shooting.

Howard posts up and throws a pass out of bounds. Not good post offense.

Gallo didn't need to help as much as he did, Chandler was right with Nelson. Gallo's overhlp leads to a three for Redick.

Knicks no interior help, give up a layup to Nelson. Then Chandler airballs a three for the Knicks fourth hideous shot.

Arenas loses Felton off a screen, Felton hits a wide open jumper.

Stoudemire poor instincts, doesn't know whether to force Bass baseline or middle, slips, gets dunked on.

This is another thing. Ryan Anderson posts a guard and travels. Rashard Lewis was a better post player and was much more comfortable operating there than Anderson.

Nice defense by Amar'e, staying with Bass on a drive and blocking him at the basket. Very nice defense.

Arenas is explosive off the screen so the Knicks have to switch...Turkoglu posts the smaller guard and Anderson hits a three off a double. I guess that's what Arenas can provide to Orlando.

That's the third needless pass the Magic have thrown the length of the court, and it's been stolen all three times. Do they not know that the Knicks are hustling back? And New York's offense really stagnated with their bench on the floor.

Walker poor show on Redick's curl, Turiaf can't help with two fouls, Redick draws a foul.

No surprise that Turiaf has two fouls on Howard in a minute. He's too foul prone to be a reliable defender.

Dwight Howard posts Turiaf who's about 4-5 inches shorter than him, and he misses a right hook off the backboard. Ugly.

The Knicks have bricked about three jumpers that haven't had a prayer, And Toney Douglas has to do a better job of funneling his man to help. He can't let Jameer Nelson blow by him to an open area of the court.

The Knicks are lucky they have some shot blocking wings like Gallinari, Chandler, and Williams or else Howard would have 20 points right now..

Orlando's baseline rotations aren't sharp. The Knicks are getting to the rim by speed-slipping their screens and having the roll man sprint to the front of the cup.

Does any team run more handoffs than New York? And Orlando's shooters are not sharp. Turkoglu and J-Rich have been extremely quiet.

The Magic are making too many risky passes. New York is playing with the right amount of hustle. They look sharp tonight on defense using their speed and quick hands to counter Orlando's size and strength.

Turkoglu misses a rotation, great pass by Felton and Chandler rolls to a layup.

Great pass by Chandler even though Fields missed the layup. This guy has really improved---maybe more than anyone in the league.

...but they're getting killed on the glass again. They can't rebound with four smalls and Amar'e.

Stoudemire holds his own in post and Gallo with a smart double. New York's interior defense looks sharper today than it was against Miami.

Bass gets iso'd and Chandler hits a step back jumper. He's not a wing, hes not used to guarding players like Chandler the way Lewis is.

Twice Dwight Howard brings the ball below his waist and gets stripped. Don't bring the ball below your waist Dwight,

Brandon Bass gets sucked in too far in his help, Chandler hits a three. Bass needs to be more aware on the perimeter.
