    Nuggets/Hawks should be fun, though

    Lots of athletic and long players going crazy

    Josh Smith and JR Smith should just go to the other end of the court everytime and have a dunk contest. Refusing to come out of the game.

    With the crowd shouting "In Da Ay Tee El!" and doing that strange "woop! woop!" call during the contest

    Wiz playing all there backups.

    Knicks with some nice scheduling. They played Detroit when DET was playing its 4rth game in 5 nights. The same with the Wiz. Both teams were tired and drained where as the Knicks are fresh.

    Thats why they've looked like a half decent team.
