So this is our chance to be seen on national TV?

Gulp...

Carmelo was making excuses about "lack of communication" re: last Bobcats game in the media. I bet he'll be anxious to back them up with a good performance. In reality, Knicks were just dogging it in that game, and they'll be ready to rock.

Gotta be a little scared about this one, surely they come out firing for revenge.

Saying that, we might be a little the same after our pitiful effort against Indiana, could be firey.

Will Diaw school Amare again???

I don't feel very optimistic, on the other hand, I wonder if Diaw has a Silas sized shoe print on his ass which might motivate him to repeat his Knicks performance. Should be an interesting game.

Gonna be tough to beat them 2x in 1 week with both games in their house. Have to play a very solid game and hope the Knicks come out a bit flat again.

Its' gonna be a blow-out. The Knicks were embarrassed last time, they will come out like it's game 7 of the finals.

This could get ugly. I think we are going to see the Melo we saw in the 4th qtr right from the tip. If we can get the same Boris as last time, coming off a bad game again, who knows. Doubtful though.

As long as the game is entertaining I don't care about the final score. Every loss gets us closer to a top three pick. Right now there are three or four teams that are 2 and 5 with us and Washington who is winless.

The Knicks don't win that game often. Just saying.

Knicks are swagging high after beating the Wizards, I hope we destroy them this game again and Kemba goes for 30

Melo goes for 50? It seemed like he didn't have a single problem breaking our defense when being aggressive.

Tricky is reporting that Gana will get the start again tonight.

unless we are deliberately trying to lose, there is no reason why to start Diop, especially when we dominated the Knicks with him getting 0 mins...

Wait, so do we look forward to lose or win this one? I thought we're supposed to be on the tank

we're tanking, but me personally would like to beat certain teams while losing a majority of the games

**** yes. Diopman will clog the lane like cheese in the intestines.

...because Tyson Chandler isn't a scoring threat on the block (or at all), and because the Bobcats are currently a much better rebounding team than the Knicks without DeSagana Diop starting much.

Charlotte Bobcats - 45.0 REBOUNDS PER GAME (5TH)

New York Knicks - 39.1 REBOUNDS PER GAME (27TH)

Paul Silas would've been better off starting Byron Mullens to take Chandler, the Knicks socially defensive-minded player, away from the basket.
