There's the boxscore. This was a bad overall game, and they sure didn't do much of what I wanted them to do before the game. But there were some good signs, and since this is the last preseason game, I'll focus on them. First, Steve Francis played his ass off and seemed to spark the team by doing so. He still doesn't get the ball to Curry enough, or play good d, but he did play hard and stand up for himself.

Curry had 19 points, 9 boards, 4 assists and 1 block, and would have had more if they ran the O through him like they should. He played tougher, and that's a good sign.

Quentin Richardson played with passion and that's an element we have lacked. I think he could be a big help this year.

Craw still looks for Curry like he should.

Lee got his boards, but really needs to take a little more pride in his passing (note to whole team!).

They came back and tied it in the 3rd, and that was a good sign. They took up for each other, even if they didn't always play like a team when they had the ball or played D. There's some material here. Go Knicks!
