TV: MSG
RADIO: ESPN RADIO, 1050 am

First test from MSG.
Both of teams have split the first 2 games, but the Knicks could have a real problem in the defense. Very poorly played in the first 2 games, and especially a dissapointing Eddy Curry who had only 2 rebounds last night, and a Channing Frye that has a real problem with finalizing the plays.

BTW, does anyone knows if WFAN airs the games? Just discovered today that i can get it online and i'd stay awake for that..

you can watch the game online? can i have more details on that? anyway the knicks have been pourous in defense but their offense has been great, just running and easy buckets. i hope eddy curry can contain j.o and the knicks can outrun the pacers

In the Sopcast you'll can watch the game for MSG network.

Hopefully they can find a way to win this game. Hopefully Curry will have a big game. He should be able to push J. O'Neal around in the paint. We'll see. Frye needs to start stepping up now. He can only go so long before Lee takes the starting spot from him.

the knicks will bounce back from yesterday and win this game

They better do better than what they did last night

from watching the first 2 games id say david lee is gonna be something special. hes always around the ball and is by far the best rebounder the knicks have. i love channing but hes gonna need to be a lot more agressive if hes gonna hold off david for much longer. no worrys its only 2 games. future looks bright for nyk

al harrington killed the knicks last year with the hawks. q and david are gonna have to lock down on him. no way crawford can guard him . its gonna be nice when jared jeffries is back

I hope the knicks can win this game. The "fire Isiah" chants will begin in earnest at MSG and it doesn't get any easier. After this game we have San Antonio next. So much for being optimistic about a fast start.

5 minutes left from the first quarter, Pacers lead 16 to 8.. Marbury already has 2 TOs

2 minutes left of the 3rd quarter, knicks led by 8 (73-65)
Steve Francis is excelent so far with 19 pts, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Curry improved since l;ast game and he's now with 18 points and 6 rebounds while Richardson has scored just 11
On the other side, Harrington (26 pts) and Tinsley (13 assists) are killing us.

Boy!!!....I'd like to see Isaiah coach his way out of this one.

Francis getting cheers..Marbury getting booed.

Why is the bench out playing the starters?

We are so close to the cliff that one wrong move and say good bye to IT by Christmas.

buuuu.We lost this game against Pacers.Knicks 95-109!!!
