Knicks – Pistons Recap + Tidbits

Sorry about dogging it on the recaps of late, everyone’s been busy with other business. I PERSONALLY ASSURE YOU (Jim Fassel status) that I won’t dog it on recaps anymore. Just bear with me for video links.

This is the New York Knicks basketball everyone was looking for; smacking the shit out of your opponents and leaving a message.

Pros of the game:

- How Stella (STAT) got her (his) groove back. Amar’e finally showed us something this game. Attacking the basket and playing like a man. Even if you don’t succeed it’s all we ask of you.

- Iman Shumpert & Landry Fields backcourt. I really like this concept. Two sharp defenders and smart players. Works well for the players AROUND THEM. Kick outs by Shumpert to STAT and Melo give them open looks.

- Tyson Chandler. Same thing as STAT; just make your presence felt and play hard and I can’t get angry at you.

Tidbits of the Knicks

Melo said his body tightened up on him during DET game. Team has today off, which will help. Issue began late in WAS game on Friday.
