I don't have a lot a time to do this so I'll do a quik one since there is no game thread for tonight.
This from ESPN game preview:

'' The [Only registered and activated users can see images. Click Here To Register...] have lost their last two games despite rallying to force overtime in each one. Avoiding early deficits might finally help them get their first win.

The Knicks look to avoid their first 0-4 start in four seasons Monday night when they host a [Only registered and activated users can see images. Click Here To Register...] team coming off an emotional loss.''

''New Orleans (1-2), which is looking to avoid its first 0-3 start on the road since 1999-2000, is finishing its first set of back-to-back games after falling 97-87 at Boston on Sunday.''


I' m not sure about D'antony starting line up and have no tine to check it so I will go with this one:

Well all can I say is I hope we play well tonight and get a win.



:gony:GO KNICKS:beer:

I fear Lee will get out matched in the paint tonight. Okafor may have a career game. I wanna say the Knicks will win but I don't feel too confident in saying that.

Okafor will abuse Lee, Darko is going to need to see major minutes. New Orleans is not a Western Conference playoff team and I'm not just saying that because of their record, outside of Paul and an overrated David West they don't have much. Okafor is solid but not a real factor offensively.

the Knicks must penetrate more,with Duhon & Robinson going to the hoop. they can't depend on their perimeter shooting all night. also, give Darko a chance. he looks like a good go-to big-guy in the middle.

WHY ISN"T GALLO STARTINg???

gallo isnt starting? please tell me thats a lie, ive seen enough jeffries in the starting lineup

it would be nice to see toney douglas get some more mins! i feel his defense can change games, even at this early stage.

Hughes, Gallo both starting.

Great Design Danutz, the best I have seen so far! All elements are where they need to be and I also like the simplicity of it. Good work, can't wait to get a win this season.

I like the lineup and love to see the play making by Gallo.

Word, Gallo's got a bright future. Playmaking is real good so far, 4 assists, a steal, no TOs.

All our guys doing well so far, but its only the beginning or the second quarter.

We swept NOH last year, here's to hoping we can do it again this year.

Harrington= Our 6th man

Toney Douglas doesn't have the composure or decision making yet to play PG. He should come in as an off guard.

Harrington is back to chucking....

Guy is 3-11 already....

the offense needs to be run through gallo.

STOP ****ING CHUCKING SHOTS WILL!!!!!

God dumb shots piss me off.

This team is Jekyll and Hyde.

They go for stretches with ball movement, finding the open man and getting open shots or finding cutters, then we have consecutive possessions of iso play...

**** irritates the **** out of me.
