One of the worst road teams in the league. If we can't win this game, I'm gonna start coming to terms with the 7th seed.

Thaddeus Young (hamstring) is hopeful to play against the Knicks on Sunday.

Yeaaa buddy! :D

Woodtang Clan taking no prisoners, time to prove we ain't pretenders and we're definitely about this life. Knicks need our support right now, they're struggling, they look lost, it's all good tho. Let's get this win mang.

I predict easy win they will be on the second game of a back to back and the first game was against the Heat. We will be thrilled and posters will say the Knicks have turned a corner after this game since it will likely b e a blow out. Whatever rotation Woodson uses will win this one.

Good job except for the biggie song. These knicks aren't ready 4 that song yet. They've stepped up with some heart but yet to earn that old skool respect. I like your enthusiasm tho and think the knickerbockers will pull this one out. Is Bynum playing ?

J0rdan4life42o wrote:It's pretty obvious the lineup needs to change. If Woodson insists on playing Melo at the 4, he needs to start JR Smith...Kidd just isn't playing the same way he was early in the year. Defensively, he gets owned in single coverage (his help defense is still very good though), and since the Knicks switch a ton, he gets caught on opposing SFs too often.

I also think Shumpert would be 10x more effective sliding back to the 2 spot. It's pretty obvious he's a hell of a lot more comfortable pressing guards and floating around the perimeter.

Felton
Shumpert
Smith
Anthony
Chandler
-------------
Amare
Kidd
Novak
Prigioni
Martin

Is the way to go if Melo keeps starting at the 4...Kidd is getting abused on switches and teams run the ball whenever he's on the court. Not gong to happen with Felton/Shump/JR

Kidd still has a ton of value to this team, but its got to be coming from off the bench.

Bingo! Maybe I'm basketball challenged but help me understand why Kidd is starting. Mike won't be happy till he burns him out and then you wont even have him to help off the bench like originally intended. Why not put stat in there as a starter and shump as a pg and how come no media questions thrown at Woodson about this?

Winning streak starts here. We will also snap Miami's winning streak next week. Lets go! Melo for 40 tomm. KMart with a double double debut. Tyson with 4 blocks. Felton with 10 assists. Win by 12.

I expect a very anxious Garden crowd, if the Knicks find themselves down 4-8 points boo's will be heard in my honest opinion..
My lifetime better have a Knicks championship.

Idk about that, but if they start off slow or play no defense, the crowd will be merciless.

These players on the Knicks' roster suck, and so does the coach, GM, and owner.

I think Bynum is a no go and I put that song more for the fact that RESPECT is what we have to earn again. We started off the season with fire and desire, but we've been average since then and we're falling like everyone, including haters like Barkley expected us to. If there's any pride in this team, they reach down, find something besides a fleshy patch, and put their balls on the table while getting a complete win against a division rival at the same time.

Hopefully Martin has a big enough impact defensively to turn this thing around. Casual fans laugh at the thought of a 35 year old K-Mart making a difference but fk it, sometimes all it takes is one guy with a mean streak and the whole team improves as a result.

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.
