It was another tough loss for the Knicks, falling to Memphis 120-106 at The Garden Friday night.

Walt "Clyde" Frazier
and I like the grit the young players showed, but their lack of consistency on both sides of the court, especially defense, is what caused their downfall.

For the second straight night, the Knicks fell to a team fighting for their playoff lives and for the second straight game, Isiah Thomas gave the bulk of the playing time to youngsters.

The Knicks stuck with the Hornets for much of the game, but New Orleans pulled away in the last three-and-a-half minutes to win it 100-88 at The Garden Monday night.

Jamal Crawford led the Knicks with 20 points, but the big impact player in the game was New Orleans' Chris Paul.

Walt "Clyde" Frazier and I discuss just how good Paul was in the win for the Hornets.

Dwight Howard played like Superman in the paint, racking up his 10th 20-20 game of the season (26 points, 22 rebounds), as the Knicks were crushed in Orlando, 118-92, Saturday night.

Walt "Clyde" Frazier and I believe it was Eddy Curry's early foul trouble that prevented the Knicks from getting a handle on the 2008 Slam Dunk Champion.

In spite of the best efforts from Zach Randolph, who notched his 30th double-double this season, the Knicks fell to the Atlanta Hawks, 99-93, Friday night at Philips Arena.

After posting their worst quarter this season in the first 12 minutes, the Knicks followed up with their best quarter and trailed by only one at halftime, thanks to an offensive explosion by Jamal Crawford (15-for-29, 43 points).

New York kept its momentum going in the second half and shut down Toronto with strong pressure on the defensive end to hold on for a 103-99 victory at The Garden Friday night.

Walt "Clyde" Frazier and I liked the resiliency the Knicks showed out on the court.

The Knicks started off the second half of the season with a very solid effort at home, holding the 76ers to just one point over the final five minutes to secure an 89-81 win at The Garden Friday night.

Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford combined for 46 points, but the Celtics were just too much for the Knicks on Martin Luther King Day.

All five of Boston's starters scored in double figures to propel the NBA's best team to a 109-93 win over New York at The Garden.

The game marked the halfway point of the season, so Mike Crispino and I look ahead to the Knicks second half of the year that must be better than the first.
