What are we waiting for for K-Mart to play? Ronnie not take his physical yet?

If we use that 3 guard lineup then this is an automatic loss.

Now that he's on the team, we should never, EVER see Amar'e/Novak on the court at the same time...EVER.
I think we win this game. Going away actually. 105-88. I'm only optimistic because I'm hoping Kenyon can show these guys how to play with a chip on their shoulder.
People don't know how bad we need Sheed back.

People don't know how broke down and old Sheed is. This is NOT Portland, Detroit, or even Boston Sheed. This is a MANHOOD game. If the Knicks can't win this walk in the park, they might as well wear dresses against Miami and apply for the wNBA.
Knicks with a vengeance. Knicks 155 Sixers 20

Sixers salivate at the possibilities of abusing Kidd, and taking advantage of that lineup. They score on and defend the Knicks easily, gain confidence, and go on to hit every shot in the building, putting the knicks in a hole.
Knicks become dejected, with guys hanging their heads. They begin to play lazy on defense, as the offense becomes stagnant and players become tight and frustrated.
results: Knicks go down by 75 points in the 1st quarter and lose by 139 pts total.

Re: Official Game Thread: Philly @ MECCA (2/24 - 7 PM)
I'll be watching to see how the "call outs" transpire to the game, mainly how many threes Melo and Kidd takes and makes.
Crazy fact....would you believe Kidd and Melo has the same 3pt % in the last 5 games?
Melo shoots on average 8 threes a game and has made 2...10-40...25%.
Kidd takes about 3 a game makes slightly less than one per on average....4-16....25%.
Feb totals.....Kidd is at .200...Melo at .313

Don't see us losing, that would be a disaster, plus JR needs a good game to keep the high-school chicks interested.

Way to go, Woodson. Way to be your typical unsure self.
Why can't he give a straight answer?

I don't think they'll lose, but would you really be that surprised if they did? This team has been a joke lately, and mediocre for two months.

I think based on his interview, Kenyon will be the starter

I want to seea good coached game tonight with good rotations, a lot of success with Amare & Melo in the line up (for at least 15-20 mins together), effective ball movement, less switching and INTENSE DEFENSE! I also want to see the garden rockin!!!
I hope K-Mart brings some effective intensity and shows some of these rooks how its done! No more easy baskets son, the human "Flyswatter" Chandler is in the house! Melo will look to atone for his recent "Melon-like" play and throw down 40+!

Just looking at Felton's gamelog, it's painfully obvious we have a difficult time winning when he has less than 5 assists. Distribute the damn ball, Ray.

If Kmart starts over Amare, Woodson is a bigger idiot than I thought.
