Cleveland beat our ass under every damned circumstance last year and now they may luck out and play us without Melo/Amare...I REALLY want this win too bc one of my good friends is a die hard Cleveland fan (for every team, he's not just a Bron guy that stuck). He's been rubbing in our multiple losses to the Cavs for a long time.

Let's do it
If Chandler is ass again, Varejao will have a 20-20 game by halftime.

If Feltons hitting that midrange J we should be okay. If he isn't, then hopefully JR is. If JR isn't, this game could be close.

We split last year but even that was embarrassing.

Not just last year, the year before that we lost to them multiple times as well...No Kyrie Irving, Baren Davids lit us up.

At first I'm thinking we lose this without Melo, but then I remember that we have Jason Kidd.

Last night against the Lakers it's the loudest the Garden crowd has been all season. MSG was rocking,especially after Melo's third three in a row.
MSG was also pretty loud against the Nuggets too. Other than these 2 games and the opening night against the Heat the Garden crowd has been pretty quit,probably because blowing opponents out (especially if they are weaker teams) isn't as interesting as beating big names in close games.
I expect it to be rocking against the Nets soon,hopefully the Knicks will be able to provide them something to cheer about.

I think if we play well as a team then we will win. Thats usually the case. When this team is playing together they can beat anyone. I do, however, expect Kyrie to go off. He is SO good, but hopefully Raymond makes a statement and outplays him.

Even with Carmelo out, as long as the team doesn't come in playing down to the competition, we should win this game. Kyrie will have something to prove coming into NYC, fresh off a return from injury. I hope Carmelo plays, but if not, this is a game we really should win without him. Especially if we can beat Miami by 20!

Is there any report on Melo?! I think they are keeping things quiet...because its probably really bad news.
Not to be upset.

Leaguepass wrote: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.
Agreed 100% I can't wait until we get Stat back already. I Too keep feeling like we are a Melo injury away from mediocrity. I will also be glad when Amare cuts his minutes down and when Shump cuts Kidd's minutes.

Calm down, its a sprained ankle, and he's day-to-day.
Knicks fans always expect the worst, and I get it, but it's got to change at some point.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/knicks-plan-sit-injured-melo-cavs-article-1.1220629 Carmelo Anthony is lobbying to play on Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers but the Knicks intend to hold out the injured forward for at least one game, according to a team source.
Anthony suffered a sprained left ankle and injured his knee as he fell awkwardly after being fouled by the Lakers Dwight Howard during the third quarter of the Knicks 116-107 victory on Thursday. Anthony reported feeling soreness in his left ankle and knee but wouldn't rule out playing on Saturday. The Knicks did not practice Friday and therefore did not make Anthony available to the media.
that's encouraging, he must not feel that bad
