For one night, The Knicks were Prom Kings!

How long has it been since the Knicks played a meaningful game at Madison Square Garden? Seems like 10 years or more. New York fans are starving for excitement, meaning, playoff basketball...They want and need intensity, chippiness, Charles Oakley, Starks, Ewing and Anthony Mason! Well , last night they got it. Coming off what, a six game losing streak, playoff hope and all optimism fading, a Monday night game against Knick killers Dwight Howard and Orlando.....to be honest I didn't even turn on the tv until the end of the first quarter. But, what you saw last night was not just a Knick win in overtime against Orlando when they really, really needed it, Melo scoring 39 in an offensive display....you saw desperation, nastiness, dirty play, aggressive play, chippiness, elbows, floor burns and a toughness not seen at a Knick's game in 10 years! To be honest, they have to play like that every single night to win, and make a playoff showing. Look , I know it was only one night...but for the Knicks and their fans it was a playoff atmosphere . We had forgotten what it was really like to be in a dogfight! I feel good today...lacing up my sneaks to run full tonight.
