The Knicks are now 2-0 which is in a word, shocking. They have looked good on offense and ferocious on defense. If they keep playing with this intensity they may have a shot to play some basketball in late May or even June – not to get way ahead of ourselves. They could easily blow the next two but if you are a Knicks fan and you are not excited then check yourself for a pulse. Here are some thoughts from how the Knicks treated the 76ers like a small child today:

• There was a guy playing for the Knicks wearing #7 who was diving for lose balls, blocking shots, playing stellar defense and even dove into the stands for a lose ball. I have no idea who this player was but I hope he can give Melo some tips on how to play.
• I am going to go out on a limb and say that whenever either the Knicks hit 19 treys like Friday or JR Smith actually plays well the Knicks are going to win. And, JR with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 steals – did that really happen???
• The Knicks are winning by an average of 18 points a game. The Knicks are winning by an average of 18 points a game. I had to write that twice because it sounds so absurd but is true.
• How is it that the Knicks won by so much in back to back games yet I was on the edge of my seat and kept waiting for the Knicks to blow it in each game?
• Hey Philly, you better hope Bynum comes back soon or this is going to be a long season for all of your fans. I may regret saying that tomorrow night but right now I am sticking my tongue out at your mediocre squad.
• How well did the Knicks play today? They have the defensive player of the year on their team and only felt the need to play him for 20 minutes.
• How old is Jason Kidd again? I believe that is what Philly kept asking all game because Kidd looked damn good.
• Hey Ronnie Brewer, learn to finish better and you are going to be a dynamite contributor for this team.
• Prigi was looking better today and even shot the ball 4 times (2 pts) after looking petrified to shoot for almost 7 quarters.
• Rasheed Wallace with the hook!!! Apparently Rasheed was the one taking lessons from Hakeem Olajuwon in the off-season.
• Btw, is anyone now possibly upset that Mike Woodson is our coach??? I don’t think anyone is calling for Phil Jackson right now.
