I don't think Melo's playing this one and, honestly, he shouldn't. No need to risk anything in December against the Cavs of all teams. We can take'em with what we got. Just try and contain Kyrie and the rest is history.

Killa ain't no joke but hopefully Woodtang Clan puts the brakes on him & Sideshow Bob. Speaking of Woodtang Clan, I heard Kenny the Jet made a reference to it on TNT last night :D :D :D :D

Melo should rest. We should be able to beat Cleveland at MSG with or without him.

Even though they always give us trouble I think we're clearly the better team even without Melo.

Let's go Knicks,gotta stay perfect at home.

I honestly have only said this twice this season, but I think we might lose this game. No Melo. We have no one to contain Irving and no one to keep Varejao off the glass.

I'll be optimistic, but won't be surprised if we drop this one.

Cavs have some talent, Kyrie gets buckets and Anderson Varajao has been turning it up. That said we should be able to win easily, but if we are off and Melo is out i wouldnt be shocked if Cavs beat us.

Cavs always play hard against the Knicks, tough 1 if we are without Melo.

This is a bad match up, especially without Melo.

I have the same feeling as most of you guys.This year, I only had this feeling prior to the Bulls game because they cut into our strengths with their perimeter defense and rebounding. Cleveland also has that strong rebounding and they have that superstar PG that can go off for 30+ points. They have played a bunch of good teams very strong and barely lost. They definitely are much better than their record with Irving back in the mix. I say that if we don't bring a terrific defensive effort we'll be in for a close game decided in the last 2 minutes.
If we come out with energy,step on their throats and remain pesky throughout I see us pulling out a 10 point win.

It will be a tough game, I hope we don't have our home court streak ended by the Cavs...would be kinda sad.

If it wasn't for Melo's recent injuries we could be close to a 10 game winning streak right now......guess better now than later in the season. That's also one of the reasons we need Stat back as soon as possible. As great as Melo is playing , I hate being so reliant on a single player.

gotta watch that P n R with Kyrie and Varajeo, hopefully we can find a way to will our selves in this one, we will need the homecrowd in this one, start Kurt at the 4 and have him body up Varajeo.

It's hard to shake the old feelings of a let down is coming against lesser opponents. It's happening almost every game now for me.... like 'oh man this is that game'. Too many years of it happening has warped my psychology that no matter how much my rational mind fights it there's that emotional rut that my feelings fall into.

No Melo means Felton will jack up somewhere between 20-30 shots. Lets just hope they're going in.
