I went to the game last night and here are some observations:
* Not even anywhere close to a sellout. There were a LOT of empty seats.
* Not much fanfare and the intro was kinda weak.
* The sparse Knicks fans that were in attendance made more noise than the Raps fans
* If we trade Reggie, we're screwed cause no one's gonna bring the sandpaper or toughness he does. His play allows guys to attack the rim because he clears space
* I know it was just game one, but everyone was pretty awful aside from Reggie, Jack and Andrea.
* Even though a lot of shots were flubbed by Andrea, I was happy to see him attack the rim
* Once their shots start falling, the Knicks will be a better team. That many open looks and guys weren't draining them. They'll fall soon enough. What the hell happened to Anthony Randolph? Wasn't overly impressed with Stoudemire, but he made the tough shots when they were needed.
* WHy is Barbosa forcing up a fadeaway 3 instead of passing it out. We would have been better served to try for a quick two then fouling.
* A lot of guys looked lost. This is very much a work in progress. D needs to tighten up a lot
* This is going to be a VERY long season
