Is Stephon playing against the Rocks?? Or questionable?

[Nylex]

He's out I think. Rose is going to start though.

[NYKnicks15]

showcasing Jerome James anyone? haha. and thank god hes having a good game!! hopefully we can ship him off now!

were actually playing D and say what you will but i think Jalen's leadership is already apparent. and the 7assists as a Small Forward kind of shows that. i cant wait to see Jalen and Steph on the court together.

Jamal Crawford played a great game Finishing with 24 points 5 assist 4 rebounds, Jalen Rose's Debut was Fantastic as he finished with 16 points and 11 assist, Eddy Curry did a great job on yao ming down low attacking quick and scoring 15 points. For the Rockets it was McGrady with 23, Yao with 15 and scoreless in the second half and David Wesley with an impressing 19 and some clutch free throws, Believe it or not jerome james played a good game with 6 points and 8 rebounds, The Knicks did good without Marbury but fall short at the Garden 93-89
