Before I get to Carmelo Anthony's insane night, I have to talk about this Knick chemistry. Not only they're winning and playing well, but their team unity is amazing.
After Jason Kidd nailed that three-point shot in the fourth quarter that would ultimately lead the Knicks to this victory, the reaction from the other Knick players was awesome. Seeing J.R Smith hug Kidd, with Tyson Chandler and other Knicks pumped up as well, it is amazing to see. These guys just started playing together this season and seems like they've playing together for years.
The Nets played very and are very good all around team, but their chemistry is suspect to me. Unlike the Knicks, they have no identity and personality. You look at the Knicks and they have so many leaders on the team. From Anthony, to Chandler, to even Raymond Felton.
Anthony's 45-Points: Every shot Carmelo took you knew it was going in. It was that type of night for him. Everything was all net for Anthony.
The Knicks can run different types of offense at you. They can who the Felton-Chandler pick-and-roll combo, or they can just hit you with Anthony's one-on-one offense.
Knicks were down 17-points in the first quarter of the game. And Carmelo brought them all the way back by himself. If he was still hurt with that finger cut, Knicks lose this game. That's what great players do.
