--The Knicks have not put up much resistance this season. Dallas shot 52.6 percent from the field on Monday. Opposing teams are shooting 47.2 percent against the Knicks. Only Memphis and Milwaukee are more generous.
--Unfortunately for the Knicks, there have been many nights where they failed to show up. A 108-79 loss in Dallas on Monday was the ninth of the season by at least 20 points. QUOTE TO NOTE: "I'd rather be confident than go out there scared. I'm glad (Isiah Thomas) has confidence in me. I don't think I'm getting thrown in the water. It's a learning experience and I can do it now or do it later, and I'd rather do it now." -- Knicks rookie Wilson Chandler on his very aggressive style of play.
