Curious to see if Amare will dominate our front court like just about every other C has this season or not. Its gonna be really hard for us to not win this game, the Knicks are just incredibly bad.

I'm predicting big games from Bledsoe and Dragic cause both Hardaway Jr and Calderon are really piss poor defenders and neither can keep up with Bled or Goran.

I expect Len to pick up his first double double as a starter in this game as well, it doesn't get much easier offensively than an Amare-Acy front court.

Len has such better form than Tucker in those pics...

Can't leave their 3pt guys open, they'll take a hell of a lot anyway just don't let them be easy ones.

This really should be a W, but who knows with this current bunch.

Tucker and Mook both match up well guarding Melo, he's too big for Green at SF...then again Green played some PF last night!

GO SUNS!

I would take that effort and results from Tolliver, if we got the same stat line from him like in that game. I think that year he had a 27 point game against us, with big rebounding as well. :o I guess he had a 19/11 game and then a 25/12 game. In that second game he also had five assists, three steals, and two blocks. :o :o

Damn, just a reminder of how dominant Stoudemire was in his days with us.

One of my favorite plays of all time. I jumped out of my seat watching that at work :lol:

Even the security people at the stadium were reacting.

Everyone went crazy, I remember even Warriors fans all going "Oohhhhhh" in synch.

Best dunk of Amare's career imo.

We made a huge comeback to win that game and that play had a key role.

I'll say the dunk on Michael Olowokandi is the best.

Nope. Anybody that watched that warriors game knows how important that dunk was.. After Amare finished them off. That will always be Amare's best dunk.

i'll always appreciate how marbury talked up amare all the time as ROY
