we need this one bc we are losing to the Pacers.

[FJS]

We have our choices.

They are 5-7 on their arena, and they aren't much better than us. As Lakers they have some names, but they aren't a complete team.
Stoudemire is playing his worst basketball since rookie, Anthony is a great scorer, but a bad defender, and Chandler is great if he has a pg to give some alley hops, something they don't have.
Then, they have a weak bench.
In any given day Walker can sink some 3s, or Douglas. Even Lin played his best game last night... still we have a more complete roster and we have 4 bigs who can play and they have two.

With knicks you never know, but a win is possible.
We are fighting every game, and even in our last bad lost @ mavs and @GSW we were in the game until 4th quarter.

<Pessimistic>We always struggle at New York, we don't have anybody that can guard Carmelo, and if I know Jefferson, we're going to be seeing a LOT of him going 1 on 1 vs Chandler, which will probably result in a lot of shots and a low FG%.</Pessimistic>

Still, it's a winnable game. Go Jazz!

IMO Enes can defend amare well

[SLC Biz]

Amare's been doing a pretty good job of defending himself well this season.

Awful news. Hazell Stoudemire, the older brother of Amare Stoudemire, died early this morning in a car accident in Florida TMZ reports

guess that rules out stoudemire....sad news.

[SLC Biz]

Ah...

That really sucks. Best wishes to Amare and his family.

[kamazilla]

Entire city of New York should be in the midst of a post Super Bowl hangover, including the Knicks. Good opportunity to take one in their building.

[Gothapotamus]

What a tragedy for Amare and his family. Hope they can have peace and healing through the death of their loved one.

[FJS]

Sorry for Amar'e and family.

Seems like Lin is going to start... one good game and he is their starter PG...

[Governor Dudley]

STAT is out, Lin is starting, and Melo has been playing awful lately.

You guys are going to spank us.

seems like the perfect circumstance for melo to go off being the sole elite offensive player on the floor. i think jazz are lucky if they get a win tonight.

[jazzgasm]

No bueno poor family.
