Game Preview:
Carmelo Anthony(notes) hit his first game-winning shot for the New York Knicks last week against the Memphis Grizzlies. That game, however, marked the start of some major defensive struggles for New York.
The Knicks have lost three straight since that victory heading into Thursday night?s rematch with the Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden.
Anthony made a 19-foot jumper over Tony Allen(notes) with 0.5 seconds left to lift New York (34-32) to a 110-108 victory at Memphis (37-31) last Wednesday. The All-Star forward scored 31 points as the Knicks blew a 17-point lead before holding on.
The victory may have masked a poor defensive effort, with the Grizzlies shooting 53.7 percent and outscoring the Knicks 33-4 at the foul line. New York has now allowed four straight opponents to shoot over 50 percent for the first time since the final four games of last season.
The Knicks let Indiana shoot 52.3 percent Tuesday in their second loss in three days to the Pacers, 119-117.
New York has allowed an average of 117.3 points during its three-game skid.
?We know we got to get it going, some kind of way,? forward Shawne Williams(notes) said. ?I feel like we all got to take a good look in the mirror and redefine ourselves. We got to take more pride in defense.?
However, the Knicks did rally from a 15-point deficit to take a late lead Tuesday after losing its previous two games by an average of 15.5 points.
?I thought the effort was better for us tonight than the last two losses that we had,? point guard Chauncey Billups(notes) said. ?So it?s a process, it?s a process. We just have to get over that hump.?
The Knicks are in a tight race with Philadelphia for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, although a playoff spot appears secure. That?s not the case for Memphis despite its better record.
The Grizzlies are in eighth place in the Western Conference as they try to hold off Phoenix, Utah and Houston for a postseason berth. Memphis avoided a third straight loss with Monday?s 105-82 rout of the Clippers.
?As you?re battling down the stretch here, you don?t want four- or five-game losing streaks,? coach Lionel Hollins said. ?I thought our defense was solid in the early part of the game.?
Memphis led by as many as 31 points and bounced back from its worst loss, 118-85 at Miami on Saturday.
?I thought we did a great job of playing with energy and coming out here and just competing,? guard Greivis Vasquez(notes) said. ?We got this win and we needed it since we lost against Miami the way we lost.?
Zach Randolph(notes) had 30 points and 12 rebounds in the victory, and he?s excelled against the Knicks since they traded him to the Clippers early in 2008-09. He?s averaged 26.0 points and 13.6 rebounds in his last five games against New York.
The power forward should match up at times against Amare Stoudemire(notes), who is averaging 29.2 points over his last seven games. Stoudemire had 26 points in last week?s win over Memphis.
Billups did not play in that game due to a bruised left thigh but has started the last two, missing all 11 of his 3-point attempts.

PG/SG-Do What Toney Douglas Do aka DWTDD

IF he doesn't lead the 2nd unit and be able to hit shots our bench will look like crap and we will lose. That simple:cool:

Check This Out:
The Knicks seem to struggle most against teams with losing records. Of their six losses since the trade, four have come against two teams with losing records: they have lost twice to the Cleveland Cavaliers and were swept in a home-and-home series against the Indiana Pacers.

Prediction:
NYK Wins 107-115

Knick Quote Of The Night:
"I definitely wanted to try."
?Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, on not getting the ball on the inbounds pass with 0.3 seconds left in regulation, which was just enough time allowed by NBA rules for a catch-and-shoot situation.

Sup w the dragqueens in ur OP la2ny??

What have y'all turned this gamethread into??? I love hip hop and everything, but the above is just wackness.
On the game.. The defensive focus in practice seems to have payed dividends so far. We'll see how the rest of the game goes. If we continue to play like this we should have a W. Hopefully the MDA haterz will shut the fack up atleast until the next loss smh..

Melo is so impressive to me. I don't know if he's more conducive to the system or the other way around. The spacing is just so good for him and his skills own w/in the framework. It's great to see a player of his caliber on the wing in the halfcourt of this offense. Mike D's never had a player like him on the wing and I always wondered how it'd look.

Just a few thoughts so far...

Son, you don't even know what whack means...

Whack is like your shirt, shoes and skinny jeans...

Don't even try to compete with my schemes...

Now I'm gonna go light up these greens :smokin:

^^ haha. More reason to let Billups go and let the bigs reign. :afro:

Barring we can sign Mr. Bigshot to a prime new contract pre-CBA, per Mr. Smokes' sage analysis.

Why do you insist on spelling 'wackness' wrong.. Get ya slang right dummy..

These schemes you speak of are..

The state of being wack -- A measure of the degree to which someone or something is wack. Alternatively, an exclamation indicating a high degree of wackness in the general surroundings.

I sense wackness emanating from these weak, low grade emcees

Your so-called schemes = WACKNESS = the opposite of dopeness sir..

"man instead of looking at all the dope things in your life you look at the wack. it's like, stop caring about the wackness"
