We lost by 17, but the game was closer than what the score indicated. I liked the fight shown by the Knicks and how everyone was ready to step in for each other. Last year with Larry Brown that wouldn't have happened. We were ready to beat up a couple of Nets which is a good thing - it showed our aggression despite it only being a preseason game. If we had Jeffries and Robinson we might have been able to take this one or at least keep it competitive for a longer period of time. Eddy Curry also added a 15 foot jumper to his arsenal. Hewas 3/4 from the midrange area. Despite the somewhat sloppy play, I was impressed.
I just hope Francis isn't suspended for the season opener for that push on Moore.
