    FOURTH QUARTER:

    ** Again, Anthony Randolph has more pure athleticism than anybody on this roster — and by a wide margin.

    ** How on earth that wasn’t an offensive foul on Jackson, I’ll never know.

    ** I could watch Randolph springing off the floor to grab a rebound all day long.

    ** Fantastic over-the-head dish from Crawford to Maggette on the break. Baron who?

    ** word: Morrow ought to be in already.

    THIRD QUARTER:

    ** Turiaf has talked in the wake of Biedrins’ injury about playing smarter to avoid silly fouls and he’s trying very hard to meet that goal tonight.

    ** Hey Jack, are you really so tired you can’t call out “screen” to let Monta know Harrington is behind him, about to spring Nate Robinson free for a layup?

    ** I’m not sure that the Warriors really can slow the tempo. That’s never been part of their game. But if they don’t find a second wind somewhere, they’re going to have to try.

    ** Or, you know, they could just keep getting (and hitting) open shots.

    ** I liked the way Monta pushed the ball there, even if Crawford wasn’t able to convert on the kick-out.

    ** Turiaf had that spin-and-back move by Lee sussed out. Just bad luck Lee was able to hit the righty hook regardless.

    ** Staying on Turiaf, I know I said this during Sunday’s game as well, but it bears repeating: his defensive presence in Biedrins’ absence (and, frankly, even before) is no surprise. What is a bit of a revelation is his offensive game, especially on the S/R or just finding open seams in the lane.

    ** Jackson’s fadeaway misses over smaller defenders are getting tired.

    ** Great elevation from Ellis for the reverse lay — second game in a row where you get a glimpse of the old Monta.

    ** Whatever his other faults, Jackson has some great court vision.

    ** Not to tempt the jinx, but … still only one turnover for the Warriors to this point — and it’s not Jackson (!)

    And then Randolph coughs it up twice.

    HALFTIME:

    ** It’s sad to see an alleged Nellieball team get as tired as these guys are with the Knicks’ pace.

    SECOND QUARTER:

    ** I really don’t remember Nate Robinson being this kind of 3-point bomber.

    ** Randolph’s ability to hang in mid-air and still block that shot (even with the foul) was really ludicrous.

    ** It’s amazing to think the Warriors have missed 17 shots to this point (9:44 remaining), and probably 10 of…
