They're up after beating MIA and we're dragging. Could be bad for us.

Marvelous and Smoove love playing D'antoni defenses but we're going to resort to iso at some time while the Knicks will be getting scoring from every position all game long.

Larry Legend?
Ha, ha... that one was great. Really great... marvellous ocurrence...

I hope Al can defend Amarè more or less and then JSmoove can abuse Gallinari inside while defending him properly outside.

Then we better defend Felton with Evans or JJ while Bibby takes Fields .
The greatest thrill is not in killing, but in letting live.

Word is that Chandler is out due to a calf strain. That leaves the Knicks without an athletic enough player to check both Smoove and Al in the post if either could be bothered to operate there.

Haha. Larry Legend.

Watching Josh use some sort of post game pisses me off. I recognize hes facing a terrible defensive team but he needs to do this more often. Shoot Js if you want, but use the post game. His ability to get open shots for others off the block can be so valuable.

Does anyone see how illegal Mike Bibbys screens are? He forearms the holy hell out of the defender.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Josh sticking to his strong suit. Only one jumper so far.
Joe absolutely dominant. 16-5-5 with 2 steals to his night. Aggressive to the hole and abused Landry Fields on a crossover.

Who cares if Marvin gets suspended. Its about time Marvin showed some emotion.

I just arrived home. First I see Marvin diving on the floor for a loose ball, next I see him come down with a big rebound, and just now he gets into an altercation. I'm praising Marvin right now!

Something's up with him. I've noticed that he's even walking more upright and moving more fluidly on the court. Is this the return of Mojo?

3 Things:

1. Joe balled out
2. Horf & Josh play like that and the Hawks can beat anybody
3. WTH did y'all do with Marvin?? :o

Marvelous had a good game - I hear - and I missed it. Par for the course.

What happened?

From the looks of it...they got tangled up...Marvin pushed S.Williams from behind,typical "stare down" occurs,then Marvin pushes him again which leads to punches being thrown. It looks like Marvin instigated it at 1st glance but my guess is that S.Williams had to say something prior to that.
