PREVIOUSLY, THE NEW YORK KNICKS...lost 118-104 in Orlando to snap a one-game winning streak in a game where the occasionally suggested in these parts potential cheap alternative to Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson earned a DNP-CD.

The Knicks have lost six of seven overall. Half of their four wins have come on the road (@Indiana and @New Jersey). After appearing to make some headway in improving the team defense (Their opponents' offensive efficiency dipped below 110 points per 100 possessions for only the second time this season after the loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles.) the Knicks have fallen off that brief, improved pace and are allowing 112.9 points per 100 possessions on the season.

The Hawks beat New York 114-101 at MSG on November 11th.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
