    The Knicks are beating SA. Shump is having a big game.

    Beno Udrih looking like Steve Nash out there. Knicks have a lot of energy, they have a real chance of beating the Spurs. They are benefiting from a long lay-off, not having played since Saturday.

    Spurs will still pull it out.

    I watched the game, Curry and Lee went off, Miami looked tired. Battier looked good though.

    Hope that player's meeting actually did something.

    Looks like OKC and SAS are about to lose. Phoenix getting waxed by an angry Memphis team. Could be a good night for the Rockets without them even playing. Knicks will be on a second night of B2B tomorrow, we need to crush them they will be tired, they are older than the baby jesus.

    How much you want to bet, with all the upsets (and potential upsets) today, AND the threat of slipping into the 7th seed, AND fresh off a player's only caucus on effort, Rockets come out flat? Free dollars? I'll take that bet.

    Greg Smith save us.

    The Rockets are still better on paper despite the injuries. Even if the Knicks weren't on a B2B, this should still be a win. Plus they're scared of Lin.

    Seriously they better not, I usually don't watch anything but Rockets games but the last two days I've been watching other teams just to see some good basketball. I hoping for a Rockets statment blowout, Jeremy usually comes to play against the Knicks.

    Lakers was the favor last year base on stats sheets and what happened?

    Despite Rockets talent roaster, there are still a lot of problems that need to work out.

    1) Coach
    2) Harden Heroball and lack of defense (but I am sure a top coach will able to fix it)
    3) No PnR and no midrange. A new coach will able to fix it.
    4) 8 man rotations. A new coach will able to fix it.
    5) Long starters minutes. A new coach will able to fix it.

    Tomorrow's Knicks game will be a dog fight!

    Shumpert just got over his slump, regained his form and playing wel.
    Stoudimire is back with 20-25 minute playtime. Hardaway shots well.
    Melo is back with JR Smith is doing his usual tricks. The only missing piece is their point guard, fat Felton.

    Would not be surprise that they beat us by 2-4 points.

    If they had Felton they'd be worse. The guy is a walking turnstile

    Now I'm scared of this game. The Knicks looked like a pretty good team tonight.

    OK Parker 12 pts on 5-13, Duncan 9 on 3-8, Manu 4-11 for 11pts and Leonard 8 pts on 1-5 so their big players can have off and crap games just like ours. Bellinelli had 32 but that wasn't quite good enough to get SAS past the Knicks tonight. Knicks played a good game.

    Shump was 10-13 while Anthony was 10-20. Both had 27.
