Break Up the Knicks

Another big win for the Knicks last night. They trailed 68-57 with 3 minutes left in the third quarter (and LeBron James had 30). From then on they outscored the Cavs 35-16 (and LeBron had 6, two on a meaningless basket at the end of the game).
The Cavs shot 4-20 from the field and missed 12 straight shots in the fourth quarter. David Lee only played 10 minutes, he couldn't cover LeBron. Quentin Richardson has been horrible, but he played great D.
Crawford was awesome, Frye was good and Curry is developing into a legitimate second-tier big man.
Over the past couple years the Knicks have lost a lot of close games, good defense and good coaching could be the difference between winning and losing, living and dying.
The Knicks played the Mavericks at home tonight. It will be a tough game but the next two games after that are against Atlanta and Toronto. Could there be a 7-game winning streak by the time Sobel and I go to see them play Minnesota on MLK Day?

Paul, first of all you just jinxed it completely with that 7-game winning streak comment.

Second, I would not be surprised if this team finishes .500
