The Knicks smoked the Bucks for the second time this year, but unlike the first time, the Bucks had their "stars" playing. Little did the Bucks know that Melo has been channeling his inner LeBron lately, and it showed up again tonight as he was just two assists shy of a triple double. I don't think finally having guys around him like Porzingis and Affalo and Lopez, etc, excuses the ballstopper he has mostly been in his career, but when you see him play like did tonight you can't wonder what he could have been all along. Zinger had his own set of highlights and 5 blocks and the role players also played well. One thing to note was the way they attacked the basket from the key and the wings. It didn't always work out, but they are more aggressive than they have been in forever.
Just a nice night of hoops, and you have to wonder, especially if Melo is going to play like this, if a playoff run might actually come this season.

They could have had a letdown after the Spurs. They did not v
Porzingis changes far more shots than he blocks.
This is definitely peak or peaking Melo overall. A real PG would make him even better though.
Begs the question of why he couldn't play team ball with Amare et al.
I think they would've gotten together if Amare had stayed healthy longer, but that's a guess, obviously.

Another impressive win.
Without Melo and KP in foul trouble big win. Grant stepped up big time.
Trade high on Thomas.
Last night just seemed to be out of energy. Effort was there. Those rims at Barclays had no give on them, as Alan Hahn pointed out.
