I really hope Denver doesn't end their winless streak against Knicks. If Francis doesn't play, Crawford is supposed to start.

[JamesM]

Massive game for us.Even though its still early we cant afford to go 1-4 heading to texas to play houston and the spurs. Really hope Francis is ready,even if its just a limited role he plays.Been impressed with his attitude so far this season.

[Trin_Starr]

I expect Frye to break out of his shooting slump this game.

Rumors have been going around that JC is not happy because he feels he should be starting - with francis out tonight - look for JC to have a big game

After the shakeup by isiah benching the starters after halftime - watch for the starters to come out this game with energy and play hard.

the knicks will win this game by 6pts.

i'd rather crawford to start over david lee because of the match up with carmelo who is quicker than he is. frye better step up this game, and seeing how isiah said he'll "bench anyone", frye is no exeption. look for marbury to also get his groove back. this should be a w.

[TrueBlue20]

Great win for Knicks. They are starting to play some defense. Hope it continues.
Crawford really looks like he wants to keep the starting spot. We'll see what happens when Francis comes back. It wouldn't hurt to have them compete for the start.

wow huge win tonight. couldnt go 1-4 with the tough games ahead. crawford has proved to be clutch and when hes on fire hes unstopable. curry and frye better pick up there games or i think theres a chance that maybe they go in a package deal somewhere? maybe minnesota? either way huge game tonight jeffries is really gonna help when he gets back

[BallHead]

This was a huge win for the Knicks. Huge win for Isaiah. Two things we know about our NYK: 1) They got a great bench and a lot of dept. 2) They're going to play until the end. These are good qualities to have.

Steph is playing totally unselfish. I am amazed. If he continues on this road he is going to find the right balance between passing/attacking.

Curry played through the foul trouble and came up big with a nice assist to Steph.

The heros: Lee, Balkman, Richardson, Robinson, Rose

The ZONE-MAN: Crawford

Frye is feeling horrible and is totally uncomfortable on the floor. I hope that he can work through whatever is wrong. I don't see him starting at PF much longer. He'll most likely be moved to back-up center.

[JamesM]

What a game. The knicks showed A LOT of heart to pull this one back.Same as the spurs game on monday,they erased a big lead.Never a dull moment with the knicks,gotta love it.

Incredible play by jamal crawford, just like 2 years ago in houston against the rickets if you remember

[IcEWaTEr123]

[Allen]

It was a good win for the knicks.
