LOL...one problem...this game will start and end in 2016 still

So you're talking about the game after we get trounced 150-110 by the Rockets?

We are going to get blown out today. New year's eve plus the last game on a road trip. Last night showed me these guys just want to go home. I think they will win the Orlando game at home though.

I'll be completely shocked if this is anything but a pathetic and embarassing blow out.

On top of being outclassed, this is a:

1) D'Antoni revenge game vs Melo
2) Ariza revenge game vs Knicks org
3) Brewer revenge game vs Knicks org
4) Anderson white stretch 4 rivalry vs KP

Yes. This is the "Out with old, mediocre New York Knicks" so we can ring in the "New...probably still mediocre Old York Knicks" Gamethread. Are you ready or not?

We are gonna get slaughtered, which pisses me off that we didn't put forth the effort yesterday. If they can't put max effort into the Pelicans then don't expect it with the Rockets - and if we see it against the Rockets we should all be infuriated.

110 huh? There's that optimistic spirit we need. Knicks couldn't scrape 100 vs the Pelicans but you believe the the starters will play hard in this one. I forsee the bench playing the entire 2nd half because Melo and Rose can't figure out how to assist anyone but themselves, Noah will be in foul trouble and the other 2 starters will be peppered in with the bench squad for the remainder of the game. This is the perfect game to active all of Baker, N'Dour and even Plumlee.

Yes, 110 cause every possession by Houston will be seven seconds or less so we get a lot of shots to throw up

Rockets are now favorites by 12 points. =DDDDD

the way we guard the 3, we should just forfeit.

While it's not officially time to panic, the Washington Bullets (the Wizards is a DUMB name) and the Milwaukee Bucks are RIGHT behind the Knicks in what is becoming a cramped (but subpar) Eastern Conference.

And again, IF the Knicks simply beat the teams that they should, they shouldn't have to worry but they create their own demons.

Is it wrong of me to be kind of excited to see the Rockets play?

Rich Harden has been one of those guys that I had problems with, especially when (then) coach Kevin McHale was breast feeding him. Suddenly, Rich has taken the reins and the Rockets are actually a better team under Magic Mike minus Dunce Howard, Chandler Parsons, and half the talent they had 3-4 seasons ago. I ate my crow and I tip my cap.

I gotta give him credit that he's stepped up and brought his showcase game to the court.

This will be my 1st time seeing KP live, I can't wait! I'm still a little pissed that I missed the game last year when he exploded for 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 blocks...that was his 1st real dominant game on both ends.

the last time I got to see the Knicks live was the infamous JR game...

Watch on YouTube

Knick fans in the stands were like...

I have no expectations for the team tonight. If they want to come out and not play any defense, then this could get Cavs game at The Garden ugly.

Actually, I guard the 3 just fine. It's the Knicks who suck at it.
