JPZ17's most important part of last game
  1. Jared Jefferies back and 7 boards
  2. Al Harrington showing promise
  3. Knicks can still score without Zach and Jamal!!

AI is coming back to The Garden after being dealt to Detroit.

Official JPZ17 Game Prediction:

Knicks 116 Pistons 108

It's time for this 2, 3, 4 point game bull to end, and it ends today. The Pistons will be over-confident and will not play hard enough to win. The Knicks will stop AI. AI will get grouchy and make lots of turnovers. Al Harrington will destroy Brown. Lee will be destroyed by Sheed.

On any given day, the Detroit Pistons have the ability to play like an Eastern Conference power.
Just don't count on Sundays.The Pistons, still inconsistent after altering their chemistry with a deal for Allen Iverson, look to win for the first time in five Sunday games when they visit the struggling New York Knicks.Detroit (11-7), which has made the East finals each of the last six seasons, made a somewhat risky trade by sending steady point guard Chauncey Billups to Denver as part of a deal for Iverson. The Pistons have responded with up-and-down play.Just this past week, Detroit won at San Antonio 89-77 on Tuesday night but lost three days later at home to Philadelphia 96-91.Sundays, inexplicably, have been particularly bad for the Pistons. Detroit has played more games on that day than any other team in the league, losing all four contests while going 11-3 on all other days.In its Sunday matchups, Detroit has averaged a league-worst 81.8 points while shooting 38.6 percent.The Pistons are going to need more production than that to keep up with New York (8-11). The Knicks have lost three straight and eight of their last 10, but are averaging 104.0 points under first-year coach Mike D'Antoni.Detroit beat New York 110-96 at home on Nov. 26 -- a Wednesday -- with eight of its players scoring in double figures. The Pistons last had eight players score 10 or more points on Jan. 19, 1990, against Golden State.Against the 76ers, though, Detroit blew a 15-point second-half lead, giving up 38 in the fourth quarter."We've just got to do a better job defending," Pistons guard Richard Hamilton said.Hamilton had 19 points, his most since finishing with 19 against Phoenix on Nov. 16. He's scored a combined nine points in his las two games at New York.The Knicks were short-handed in their last meeting with the Pistons. They were still trying to put together a roster after trading away their two leading scorers, and Nate Robinson missed the game with a groin strain.That left New York with eight players, and starting guard Quentin Richardson played despite an arm injury.The Knicks lost 98-95 to Atlanta on Friday night, but their depth was improved.New York continues to play without guard Stephon Marbury, who was ordered by team president Donnie Walsh on Monday to stay away from practices and games. But Robinson had four points after missing four games because of a strained groin, and Jared Jeffries returned from a broken left fibula to make his first appearance of the season.Jeffries had six points and seven rebounds but fell under the basket with 7:55 to play. He limped back up the court, and left the game. He didn't return but said he didn't aggravate the injury."More than anything it scared me," Jeffries said. "I'll get a lot better, get my legs back."Al Harrington, acquired from Golden State for Jamal Crawford on Nov. 21, scored 27 points but missed a last-second 3 that would have forced overtime. Harrington is averaging 12.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in five games with the Knicks. -ESPN.com

The Knicks are Back
nice work considering you rushed it still sick work......we need to get Harrington the ball he's been on fire lately so keep feeding him the rock and play upfront defense stopping them from getting easy shots is key for us...
 

DaTPRiNCE

The Knicks are Back
we're smacking them by 22 i woulda never guessed we'd be winning by this margin, but the pistons look like their stuggling at least were capitalizing but im not giving us the win yet we've blown leads before i hope we dont do it here also...

Harrigton has 15 knocking down 3 3pointers
Chandler has 9
Duhon and Q-Rich have 16 each....Duhons been sick lately


still waiting for Nate

Tim Thomas is just...so...awful!

Good thing they got this guy back, as if the awful first run wasn't indicative of what he'd bring to the team again. Get Tim Thomas outta NY!

Good thing they got this guy back, as if the awful first run wasn't indicative of what he'd bring to the team again. Get Tim Thomas outta NY!

When he came here again, I forgot just how bad he was. He's reminded me, it seems like whenever he gets the ball the possession ends in a turnover or a bad shot.

Atleast we won...



We did win this game did'nt we....
the AI move to Detroit has the Pistons falling apart....Duhon leadership outclassed Iverson's leadership of Pistons.
I like AI....but the Pistons are lost wid out Billups.

Nice Knick win (wid 7 man rotation).
Make u Luv the hustle of Lee & Chandler.

it was a good win for the knicks.. they came to play from the beginning and played good defensively in the first half and some of the second.. Duhon is really coming around and becoming a leader this knicks team needs. if only we can play like this every night against every team we would have a shot at the playoffs

Rookie
Love these threads, I'll have to watch this space more often. What a win to break the losing streak with just a 7 man rotation. Good to see RIP Hamilton is being consistent by being sent off yet again.:D

Duhon has been the suprise package for me this year, I honestly didn't know much about him when he was signed but he has stepped into the role nicely.

GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!

i was at the game! i had a good time especially since detroit neva lead :) , i sensed that detroit would come back but i was glad the knicks held on, the place erupted when harrington made da 3 to make it 99-90. nd yes this game reminded me how bad tim thomas nd jared jeffries can be
 

Toons

it was jareds first game back off an injury, lets give him a break

team chemestry >>>> individual talent
