Arenas came out early in the 3rd after getting his 3rd foul. I was in the first row of the second section and I could hear him complaining to the ref. He didnt get back into the game until there was about 5 minutes left, and I noticed him leave the bench to go to the locker room at some point early in the 4th quarter for a few minutes. I dont know why though.

JRich looked pretty good in the first half, but his overall shot selection was pretty awful, and the turnover he had in the last minute was pretty pathetic.

The crowd acted so surprised and like something crazy was going on every time Earl scored.

Whoever said Damp is more aggressive on weaker centers was definitely right tonight. Damp did not try much even against the undersized Thomas, but at one point when Doleac was guarding him he called for the ball and went to work 3 possessions in a row with the result being 2 shooting fouls, 1 disgusting airball layup type move and either 1 or 2 points.

I was really surprised to see Jamison sit so much during the 4th quarter and didnt understand why. I dont blame him for being upset, especially because before Troy nailed that J, it seemed like the Knicks still had a chance. Also, in the 1st quarter Arenas and JRich really didnt get Jamison involved in the offense at all, but when Sura and Earl came in, Jamison started to take over a little bit in the 2nd quarter.

All in all I had a great time.
