    Knicks are playing tough.. we really have to step it up. We can't give amare that shot jumper that he loves taking. we have a great shot of winning this and i hope we come up with the big W.

    btw, I'm only doing this so I have some passion and interest in watching these rockets games this season. in the past I never betted on a game except once over a year ago and I won like 5 dollars, haha. Thats really because the rockets were so fun and exciting to watch and I watched them with full passion. Now the games seem like there is no tunnel at the end of the light so I'm just gonna bet a few dollars lol

    Actually, they have been struggling as of late..losing 4 out of their last 5.

    They have the Spurs and Thunder this week so we could be inching closer to them record-wise. We would already be there if we didn't blow our home games against the Blazers, Jazz, and Hornets.

    Over would be the safe bet. Both teams play at a fast pace, and neither is very good on defense.

    Of the four game stats you posted...only the last 2 are stellar.

    This happened when you had a 2 million dollar guy guarding a max contract guy ( or very close to it)

    Based on the difference in salaries, I'll take two out of 4 ever time.

    2 things:

    -With The “Nyets” supposedly out of the Melo-drama picture, The NY “Picks” and The Houston Rockets are not only going to be grinding it out in the court tonight, they both are going to be the most aggressive teams after Melo too.

    -Figuring that The NY “Picks” will become more prominent in talks with The Nuggets, their 2012 pick we own gets more expensive, as it is the best pick they can get sans protection and we will use that as leverage against them.

    Honestly, the Knicks really don't have to sweat it. He wants to play in NY. Knicks can just wait out this season.

    Melo wants the extension too, the decision will be $ vs. NY if he is traded somewhere else.

    After reading this:
    "There are teams willing to sell their picks for $3 million, especially in what’s considered to be an unspectacular draft class this year."
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-anthonybulls011911

    I retract from saying this:
    I guess we won't have the leverage for a lopsided deal in this scenario.

    Maybe we can get Chandler and Another of NY Youngs finest talents for Rockets 1st round pick and give NY there Chances of Swapping picks back.

    You're watching the game tonight?

    I was convinced you only watched ESPN classic.

    Did anyone catch that stat that Matt Bullard said about Chuck Hayes not playing? 5-14 in games where Hayes doesn't play... something to that effect. That's not the case this year though so I'm not sure what he said exactly.

    I don't like people trading rep... that's not how it's supposed to be used.
