What I saw was a new healthy looking Knicks (except for that big-blob-bouncer-dude that they let on the court during the game). A new Knicks that tries to play like a team and, most important, act like a team. You saw coach D working team psychology, backing up his team to the point when he got a technical foul. Zach made at least one pass from the low post, and a really good one too. There were also some overpassing, players who sometimes were unselfish to the point when I wondered if they were trying to make new friends instead of playing a basketball game. Sure there was confusion in the offense, but what do you expect - it's brand new to the new Knicks. I'm more concerned with the defense. I feel the team is to short and to poor on defense to defend a really good PF or C. But that could be partially solved with a smart, quick and solid team defense. I just hope that coach D, with a little help from his friend Mr. Walsh, manages to mold together all the old talent with the sparkling new one. Then I will truly see the light in the tunnel and I will have to stay up many more nights. Before I go, I might be bias because I live in Europe, but Galli is already a very good player. If he can stay healthy I'm sure he will turn out to be a very productive and exciting player on the Knicks for years to come Over n' out I’m glad I stayed up all night (I live in Sweden, please remember that if you think my english is kind of “rookish” ) to watch the new Knicks play their first game in the Garden.
