I've been to a game in there. Lotta Knicks fans go there usually on a bus trip. A friend of a friend used to do it alot. Had a bus leaving from the Bronx close to Yankee Stadium to go there.

We NEED to beat Denver. Give Melo a reason to come to NY. Show him we working with something here.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

We're like a college powerhouse, the early December cupcake schedule is over and it's time for the tough conference slate to begin.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

Once again we hold-on to a 4th quarter lead for the win. Anyone else notice STAT just get's all hyped once the 4th starts. It's like no matter what right now he will not allow us to lose.

That block on Wall in the last minute is just another example of that. I know Wall is hurting but for STAT to catch him from behind for that block. Simply amazing. His hard practices & then taking that same intensity to the game is beginning to spread to the rest of the team.

We must defend home court better & it starts tomorrow afternoon V the Nuggets.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

It's exciting to watch this team, that's for sure.

They started off a bit flat. It wasn't for lack of effort, but the Knicks were a bit behind in the first half. Just a step too slow.

But they closed out the half strong and did a great job in the third quarter.

For the last decade, the Knicks always lost games in the third quarter. It's amazing to see this team come out strong in the second half and set the tone.

I like that the players acknowledged that they're not just playing some of the better teams in the league next, they are playing the best teams in the league. So, they know they have to be even better.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

Huge win as the tough part of the schedule starts. STAT is just unstoppable right now. 8 straight 30 point games.

Huge game from Chandler also.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

I teared. It just feels good to know that I'm watching a team that's worth paying attention to after 10 dreadful years. It just feels good.

The Garden was alive since tip-off. I can't remember hearing that energy in the Garden since the 90s playoff teams.

Although I wasn't there...the Garden was going nuts.

From TV...it seemed to have that playoff 'buzz'/electricity. Noticed the same thing when Felton hit the 3 the other day.

Usually the Garden clears out before the game is over or right after the final buzzer. It was still packed when Amare was giving his postgame interview.

For long-time Knick fans...its great to see how quickly he's cemented himself into Knick history with the multiple 30-point games.

I have to say it...but I think people are going to start looking at Amare's career as a Knick and not a Sun. It's just going that way.

He wanted it when he first got here. He wanted to put NY on his back. He wanted to be the face of NY. He sent his goodbye & thanks to Phoenix in the Phoenix papers.

He is a KNICK now. Make room Patrick, Walt, Bernard, etc.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

this is certainly the first time since 01 I think where I'm actually actively seeking to get game information in real time (radio, TV, internet). Can't put Amare in the Walt & Patrick class, but he's certainly had a great first two months.

Can't wait to see how we compete against the Celtics and Heat this week. Must see TV.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

So lots of rumors circling around about O.J. Mayo and Carmelo Anthony possibly landing in New York in a three-team trade.

A part of me is concerned that the Knicks would be forced to blow up too much of the team to land those guys. I guess Mayo gives you more than Chandler and Anthony would obviously be an upgrade by himself. Just worried that the rest of the team will be depleted of its talent.

Maybe it won't matter. Stoudemire has proven himself to be a hard worker that leads with intensity. Any doubts that I might have about Anthony's willingness to put in 100% at all costs, is wiped away because I don't see Felton or STAT allowing that from the star player. And D'Antoni wouldn't either.

But, this Knicks team is also built on the hard work of its role players. We're seeing a team where Landry Fields, Wilson Chandler and Ronny Turiaf really understand their roles.

Then again, Chandler is as good as gone next season and it's not like this team is going to win a championship this year so if he's traded, I guess he's traded.

Memo to Donnie Walsh - do not trade for Carmelo Anthony(I don't want to lose Landry Fields). Sign him after the season as a free agent. Amar'e & Carmelo with the team we have now could be dangerous.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

For the 1st time in a long time I actually yelled @ the TV during a Knick game yesterday. Man the refs were brutal. I'm so happy for STAT. He's always been 1 of my favorite players in the league. He always was my choice of FA for the "Summer of 2010".

Right now he is the playing out-of-this-world. Again he took over the 4th quarter, even in foul trouble. His will to win is unbelievable. If you though the Garden was rocking yesterday. Wednesday it will be on-fire for the Celtics.

Total Team Effort...
