Knicks Lose...Monta Ellis cruises

So, a pretty late night for my beloved group of underacheivers, the New York Knicks, as they travelled to northern Cali to meet up with the Golden State Warriors. This was a Warriors team, by the way, that lacked their two best players (J. Rich and B. Diddy himself). Of course, in true Knicks fashion they lost the game behind lots of careless turnovers and uninspring play. I am not going to sit here and trash my team though. They showed flashes of brilliance, most of which came from the bench squad, led by Nate Robinson who dropped 23 points. However, as has been the case for most of the season, they follow a big win (against the Lakers WITH Kobe) with a bad loss to the Warriors (without their two best). Granted, Stephen Jackson held it down with 36 and 8 dimes, but there is no reason the Knicks should be losing to the worst defensive team in the league. They almost didn't break 100...enough said. One thing I did take pleasure in was watching Monta Ellis play. He can ball something serious. He reminds me a lot of a young Marbury with the strength and quickness but also of a Terrell Brandon (how many people remember that name?). He has the intelligence of TB and the potential to be a very skilled point in the future. I'd love having a young guy like that on my team. He gave the Warriors 23 points and seven dimes in the win. Big game, young gun. Finally, on my Gerald Wallace watch (I wish he played for us): 32 pts., 2 blocks, 1 steal and 4 rebounds in the win against the Bulls. I'm telling you, GW is a monster defensively. If he can develop a decent jumper, he'll be a beast.
