    This is a trap game.

    The team will go in there expecting the Knicks to suck, and they know that beyond this game we have a lot of games at home against average teams. I think they will look past this team tonight as history shows.

    Luckily for us, Artest and Rafer are playing in NYC, their hometown. So they will show up and make the big plays to barely win this one.

    Yao will be a game-time decision according to NBATV, ESPN, and NYTimes... and also now Chron. :)

    i thought they sat yao last night because they didnt want him to play and then sit in a plane in the cold to NY because it could be bad for it.

    i guess he may play tonight he usually plays well at MSG

    i can see rafer and ron trying to do too much tonight back in their hometown.

    i dont care who does what i just want everyone to leave NYC healthy and with a W.


    and if yao plays not sure how he will play with their small lineup and d'antoni's style of fronting constantly...harrington will draw him out

    From Yao's quotes I think he really wants to play, and the medical staff is just taking precautionary measures so it doesn't end up serious or something like what T-Mac is going through. I don't think we really need him for this game since they play small ball, though if he is available, I'll take him. Yeah they did say yesterday they only sat him out for precautionary measures, but it may have swelled up or something on the plane or maybe they are just trying to see how it will be before the game so that's why he's listed questionable and game-time decision.

    The Rockets should win, with or without Yao. Hope he gets better first though.

    Everyone at MSG is coming to see Yao kill the knicks, play him :D


    Ron Artest is going to be fired up to play his hometown team, and so is rafer.

    I'll be at this game :)

    I hope Yao plays. It's chinese new year and Yao has tons of fans at MSG. He has alot of reason to play, as long as he isn't hurt.

    Remember this?
