The Knicks did not look very good tonight. Dallas looked in control all night. They looked longer, stronger and just plain better. I guess I haven’t watched Dallas recently because I forgot how many weapons they have plus we just gave them Brewer for nothing. They are going to be a force in the playoffs as this may be their best team in the Dirk era. The Knicks are just not going to beat a team like this until they get some size.

• Story of tonight: Dallas had 10 more rebounds, 6 more offensive boards, 7 more assists and shot almost 10% better from the floor.
• Corey Brewer had 7 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals while guy we gave a roster spot to, Derek Brown doesn’t even touch the ball during the pre-game shoot around.
• Shawn Marion had one of his best games of the year, Brendan Haywood looked awesome and Jason Terry was unstoppable off the bench. Dallas had lots of firepower or at least it looked that way with the kind of matador D the Knicks played tonight. They need big men, they need Chauncey back and they need a greater focus on D or they will never go deep into the playoffs.  This off-season they can tinker with the roster to get a more balanced attack and hopefully this off-season D’Antoni will hit his head and forget his silly offense only approach.
• On the positive side, Landry looked awesome as always. T.Douglas keeps looking better and will make a great tandem with Billups if Billups ever returns. And, the Knicks went to the line 37 times after going to the line 4 times last night.
• On the flip side, Jared Jeffries had a huge game equaling his season high of 2 points.  Bill Walker reminded everyone that we did not miss him while he was out. Amare scored a lot of points and shot the ball a lot of times. Roger Mason, Ronny Turiaf and Anthony Carter combined to play more than 40 minutes and scored a whopping 2 points (COMBINED), that is Heatles bench type numbers.
