Play good solid defense, force turnovers, do a better job on the boards and play efficiently on the offensive end, and I'd think there's a good chance but it'd be close.
thats the key, we cant come form behind and try to win, cause the knicks crowd will be loud, but if we have a big ead early, the knicks will quiet down.

Aren't they worse at home(is that possible)?
The crowd might be loud but that will only be with chants of "Fire Isiah" and "We're the worst franchise in all of sports ATM".
Hopefully Yao won't let anyone run into him from behind so he won't foul out.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

It's very important to get off to a great start , they will give up if we can get a lead , if they start well they will get confident and they are talented.
Please lets not lose a game like this when we play so well for a while , we really have a chance to make up some ground with this game and vs. Minnesotta

I hate to say it but I am sort of waiting for that other shoe to drop as well. I think it was Blineburry in the Chron that said if we beat the Knicks tonight then our season is looking up. Its not that we can't beat them...his point was that we beat them in Houston now we have to go to NY 4 days later and do it again. Meaning we have to stay focused...stay hungry and beat a team we should beat in their gym. If we can do that then this little home stand here minus NO and SA is looking pretty good. Although I think we matchup well enough with SA to beat em on our floor without Mac.
But yea...beat the Knicks tonight to start it.

Hell I really hope the refs will call right fouls, they'll make right decisions.
When I think about Wizards game - ugly one. I mean looked like the refs were bought by Washington, really. They made simply EVERY call for WIzards, good that we were able to win that game but situation likek that cannot happen again.
You have 5 minutes gone in the quater and your team has already had 5 team fouls - that was the same thing in Washington.
4th straight, make Tracy even more excited, show him we can play great without him. That will force him to play hard, to fight and to come back soon.
Go Rockets !

Play more Scola alongside Yao when Randolph and Curry are on the floor together. Bigger body = better against Randolph, cause he ain't the quickest tub of lard out there.
If Zeke had _any_ coaching smarts he'd run a hundred iso's of Randolph v Hayes. Frankly, Randolph is a stat hungry loser, but he has excellent low post moves nonetheless.
Prediction: Knicks keep going to the Curry Yao matchup instead. Rockets win.
