Back to back games are pretty tough to win on the road but not impossible.

That said, the Asian Invasion will be in full force. Why wouldn't he? He has all the motivation to send a message that arrogant owner.

The revenge of Howard.

Dwight was waiting for this game for weeks.

25 points (15/30 FTs) and 25 rebounds for DH.

Andrea will be eaten alive :D

Chandler only played like 28-30 minutes last night, I think Woodson actually used his brain & had that in mind that he's going to be going up against Dwight.

I swear to God if Harden gets 15+ FTA tonight tho...
My lifetime better have a Knicks championship.

I expect the Knicks to "Mail it in" for the next 3 or 4 games after showing up once in San Antonio.

I expect the Knicks to shoot the lights out for the first few Quarters...then their tired legs will get them

and then Iso Harden and 25 free throw attempts at the end of the game...

it will all go down to how big a lead if any the Knicks have going into the 4th

Raymond Felton (groin) is not expected to play on Friday or Sunday.
Felton is traveling with the Knicks as their four-game road trip continues, but he's just rehabbing. Coach Mike Woodson said there's a chance Felton can practice when the Knicks get home on Monday.

Set the scene. We're coming off the biggest win of our year last night, and now we're up against the new superteam in the West, in Houston, where our last "savior" left our team for a poison pill contract. Raymond Felton is out. Pablo Prigioni is out. Beno Udrih starts, and by the end of the half, he has rolled his ankle. Murry's all we got left, and has to run the team for the entire second half. The Tour'e-cane, the Murry-cane, the defensive starting backcourt of Murry/Shump begins...tonight!

Bargs has gotten lazier on defense since Chandler returned. It doesn't matter. Usually Chandler keeps Dwight under control anyway. Should be a fun game to watch if they can keep it competitive.

Here's to our 11th win!

But... doesn't he want to rest a little bit longer? I mean maybe there's something else that the doctors haven't discovered.. Let's get him a second opinion before he rushes into practice.

He really gets in the passing lanes with those long arms. No way was Leonard gonna be able to get the ball to the guy in the front row on that play. Forced a tough shot.


LOL - in Barg's defense (yes it's hard to defend him) -- Ginobli was directly behind him as Leonard made his drive -- it looks like Bargs may have thought Leonard was going to throw a lob to Ginobli behind him. Even though Manu had already headed to the corner.

Otherwise - I've got no clue what he was doing and will stick with the Jedi mindtrick theory.
