KNICKS 95 HAWKS 91...KNICKS Tape went CASSETTE in the 3rd Frame...then came the "BULLY" and BARGNANI to the Rescue...KNICKS TAPE #1 Soap "GOTHAM Light" not LOGO WATCH and its NYC Pro Hoops #KNICKSnation

The New York Knicks came out swinging vs the Hawks only to find themselves in a possession by possession struggle as Trade Rumors swirl involving Iman Shumpet for the MAN-imal Faried of the Nugs.

Knicks get a "W" as the Highlight Factory (w/ a Pro Knicks Flavor) was in rare form as the Knicks win 95-91. The "Bully" led the Knicks with 25 points and Andres Bargnani looking like a #1 Overall back in 2006 added 20 points and eleven boards. The Knicks blew a big lead but "Stay Calm Knicks Tape...we are in ATL playing the Hawks".

The Hawks were led by a Point God they never talk about in Jeff Teague with 25 points and eight assists. Big AL Horford had 23 points  as the Hawks have been playing better than most expected. Bloodline Tim Hardaway Jr. continues his impressive Rookie campaign for Knicks Tape with 14 points. The Knicks are still shooting way too many Money Ball as they attempted a whopping 34 tonight as you get 25 per Round at All-Star Saturday.

As for Shump and the Trade Rumors the Knicks know they need help on that Front Line and with Tyson Chandler out 'Melo and Bargnani can't carry the Scoring and Rebounding Loads. If they could pull it off it's a win win for both as both are solid NBA Talents. The Knicks have a crowded back court and with Hardaway Jr. making his move and giving "Get Shots" J.R. a new deal...that makes Shump expendable to a point.

Knicks move to 3-4 and the Hawks drop to 4-4.
