Gotta love a laugher. The Knicks jumped on the Nets from the tip and beat them into the ground like a good team should. The Nets were totally inept on all fronts, but this was the most well-balanced the Knicks have looked all season. All the parts were working well together. The stars starred. The role players rolled. The fans seemed unusually quiet, but that’s gonna happen sometimes.
I’m not sure you learn much from a game like that, except that these are two franchises headed in very different directions. The Knicks looked like a good, but flawed team during the difficult November schedule and they’re looking like the sort of team that beats up on the lower tier of the NBA en route to higher expectations.
