wow.. atlanta has 11 wins?? thats terrible.. with the loss of antoine walker, they only look worse, and hopefully this will be an easy win, and we will get back on the rebound and pick up some more wins

Just blow 'em out guys. Dont amke it close. Use that killer instinct to take care of them. Because the next night is another shot at the Heat. Dont play yourselves.

at this point im kinda liking close miracle wins better even if their loses i want a game that i can enjoy that will be close till the end now that the seasons over...... maybe a dunk contest josh smith and ariza??

[Peach_NYK_21]

it should have been a dunk contest between arza and smith at all-star weekend... or atleast ariza or igoudala instead of chris andersoni

[Brian_Coleman_21]

We better not play down to the competiton here. If we let Atlanta keep around to long they will eventually beat us. We have to get at them in the first quarter. They are a young and athletic team and will probably look to run and gun against us so they can easily come back from a 10 points or something defecit.

Knicks Win 103-87

Josh Chilldress and Al Harrington will both not be playing.

This was a big win for us. Granted it was against a Atlanta Hawk team that was without 2 of its stars but anytime you can get a road win it is good. We have a tough stretch coming up and we needed a win.

[Peach_NYK_21]

man oh man, Tim Thomas just keeps getting better, i wish we had him like this the entire season, we would be on a whole other level. He's now tenth in the NBA in 3 point percentage!!!!
