[SouthamptonAin'tNewYawk!]

We should win this like the game we won yesterday against the Sacramento Kings.

[pyotrveliky]

yeah we lucked out with AK and deron rolling ankles. theyre not bad but theyre not so deep now so i think our reserves will help us with this. okur has been dangerous and i guess theyll put curry on him...but he has some range so id rather see frye on him and curry on ostertag. our guards should own theirs.

[johnknicksman]

this is an easy win im totally sure we will win do u see there gaurds i watch alot of basketball and i don't even know who they are look for q to have a good game

[Trin_Starr]

Hopefully the players are not too tired from their 1st back to back of the season.
Hopefully they do not underestimate the team since AK47 and williams is out.

If they do this, we should have another W

[ny3nyk]

i understand crawford coming off the bench with the mismatch with him and giricek, richardson should get the job done. if marbury plays smart as he did last night, and if davis has okur on lock especially from the perimeter we should get the w. check out okur's unibrow

[NYKnicks15]

once again underestimating the opponents remember we have only won one game so dont get to ahead of yourselves. we did play good last night but remember that was last night and tonight is a backtoback game..the guys are prolly tired especially with larry's practices going on. AK47, Boozer & DW being out help the cause but Okur has a streak of double doubles going on..well see what happens i wont predict a win...not because im scared or dont want to jinx them rather not sure what Knicks squad is going to show up...well see GO KNICKS!

[pyotrveliky]

i dont care if okur gets a double double, as long as we dont let mcleod, giricek, harping, or ostertag kill us. their bench is then cuz their bench is starting now. i think our second units will bust the game open if our starters keep it close. frye should have a big game off the bench and nate should too. id like to see lee get in too.

[NYKnicks15]

37-36 at the half..pretty close game. like i should u really shouldnt underestimate the jazz though thin and young this team has talent. okur half way to a double double once again. my boy Q healthy 4-4 with that 3 balll cant ask for better. good game so far, hopefully pull away soon in the 2nd half

[dacash]

thats 2 but damn did e curry have 5 blocks or am i reading that wrong?

[Peach_NYK_21]

i think they counted that 2 hand rejection on okur in the third quarter as 2, or atleast they should have, curry played nice

[pyotrveliky]

yea he did, he had a good game. not the prettiest of games but we pulled it out. good 3 pt shooting.

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Yah, this is a good sign. We played awful on the offensive side but were still manage to pull one out. Granted, AK47 wasn't playing, but the Jazz are still a decent team and we managed to outplay them.

I am so happy about our defense this year.


62 Points=Lowest We Have Allowed in Shot Clock Era.

[Trin_Starr]

I wonder why LB is not running post up plays for Q-Rich?
Last night, it would have been so easy for Q to post and toast the smaller Utah SG.

The guy can score from anywhere on the court, but it seems like he is content to knock down the 3pt ball all the time...
It's good to have a 3pt threat, but at the same time, we should be utilizing all his skills...
