But for who??

Now as far as the game, I can't remember ever since i've been watching the Hawks back to back day games. Knicks have won I believe 5 straight and are playing with confidence, even when they were bad they gave us fits. This should be similar of a struggle as the Nets game. Hope we can come out on top in this one.

Capspace, Curry, Chandler Bill Walker or whatnot. Jamal and Joe off the books is major $$$$ next offseason.

But back to the game, Felton has found his groove so expect a Devin Harris type game from him and Douglas. Antoni might play Amar'e at center to matchup with our frontcourt so Smoove absolutely can not sag off or lose sight or just be apathetic towards Gallo because he will be more than happy to knock down wide open 3s. Landry Fields is a high IQ player with good athleticism and motor so he might frustrate Joe some but Joe has to punish him with his size and experience. Marvin Chandler will continue his contract year performance so he will either shoot the Knicks out of the game or play really well.
Either way this will be a good test to see if the team has really righted the ship and found their chemistry.

LOL @ Josh making it rain.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Boo on capspace. This is an ownership group that will not play over the LT. To expect them to do anything ambitious with any "extra" money is just wrong. We don't need capspace, we need players. As a matter-of-fact, we need Joe to play like he can.

Nice of Marvin to show up today. Hopefully he plays the second half and the rest of the season like he did this half.

Knowing this team though, it'll be like the Spurs last year where he dropped something like 20 points in the first half, and then took all of two shots the entire second half.

So far today, I've learned that Marvin is lazy, Smoove is a whiner and Joe is on the rag.

How do I know this?
>Drew threatens to change the starting lineup, a direct threat only to Bibby and Marvelous, and Marvelous plays with energy, getting a major dunk and drawing a charge.
>We have a team meeting to clear the air and Smoove becomes nice and generous with his teammates.
>Joe changes his tampon and.... (ok, ok, he's hurt and that was too much).

Did LD really threaten to change the starting lineup? Why threaten Bibby? He's actually been playing well. If anything, it should be the SGs.

Yes, he did. I dont see who you can replace in the starting lineup. Our bench players have been erratic but mostly garbage.

Even when we win, it's a Chinese fire drill out there. When are we ever going to see an organized team on offense?

Patience. I dont believe itll ever be what we want it to be, but you must be patient. Drews offense wont become perfect overnight.
