    I think Lin will come off the Bench. Linsanity from the bench, NP. I would be happy with 15/6 50% shooting from lin. That's all I can really ask for in his current condition...but if he's too tired I'll understand lol

    there is no D in Amare and Bargnani. ditto with Lala. slice and dice.

    guards should attack the paint for an easy two or dropoff passes. perimeter players should be ready for the kickout since Bargnani can't rebound and Amare is done.

    Any update on Harden's status?

    Better chance of winning with James...but I can't say it wouldn't be fun to watch Jeremy get the start again in MSG. His impact will probably be less exciting coming off the bench on reduced mins.

    Travel? NYC is like a 1.5 hour drive from Philly.

    We should look forward to our three-point shooter to be hitting their shots tonight, last night Garcia was horrible from behind the arc, I know Garcia since his days with the Kings and I know that he can find his rhythm, and when he does it might be raining from downtown all game long.
    About Casspi, he was decent last night, but his percentages from the three-point line weren't very good, if I'm not mistaken he was 2-6, I expect him to reproduce his abilities from behind the arc in the preseason with the Rockets.
    I think when our 3 point shooters such as Garcia,Parsons Casspi and also Harden will get it going, this game will be an easy win because the Knicks are struggling this season as well.

    Garcia was still suffering from the aftereffects of the flu if I am not mistaken. Casspi too.

    Philly is being coached well and playing near their max, while Houston is not being coached well and playing near 60% -- that's the difference IMO.

    McHale goes with basically a 7 man rotation a game after a double OT game with the same people. Plus flu everywhere!

    Last night's Thunder and Clippers game:

    Scott Brooks(!) At least 9 with major minutes + 4 others with at least 5 minutes

    Doc Rivers with at least 8 with major minutes + 3 others with at least 5 minutes + Barnes ejected.

    I think you have to give Brewer and Brooks a shot. We are gassed.

    aw c'mon.

    these are grown fine specimens of healthy males. not like they caught bird flu or something. good grief.

    Garcia sucked in the last play. Casspi became the friendly ghost.

    Expectations are low for now, at least until we do something with Asik.

    98-90 Knicks. Hope I'm wrong.

    Yay for .500.
