--It's going to be a concern going forward. Since the Knicks are utilizing an undersized lineup with David Lee at center and Zach Randolph at power forward, there is some concern that rebounds will be in short supply. They were against Philadelphia, which posted a 61-43 advantage on the boards. It's the most rebounds allowed by the Knicks in five years.
--The fast break is a work in progress, but the Knicks are getting up shot after shot early in the clock. Nobody is shy. In the first two games of the season, the Knicks have attempted 185 shots from the field, so nobody is feeling left out, either. QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's not going to be Cinderella, get in the carriage and go immediately." -- Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni on the first tough loss of the season, a 116-87 blowout in Philadelphia.
