The Knicks are currently on a 4 game losing streak update. They found a way to stay competitive, in each of the last 4 games, but they still came out winless. The Knicks look to get a road win, before the All Star break, against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been struggling all season. They have been plagued with injuries. Chemistry has also been a major issue with this team. Now that the Los Angeles Clippers have
Zach Randolph and Baron Davis back, the Clippers look to finish the season strong.

Key Matchup

Zach Randolph


vs.

David Lee


Both Zach Randolph and David Lee are known for their ability to score inside and rebound at will. Zach Randolph is the more dominant of the two, but neither of the two play any defense. It should be very interesting to see who comes out on top.

Player Spotlight

act_baron_davis.jpg
Baron Davis, 2x All Star, has been really struggling this season. A lot of this has to do with injuries, and a lot of this has to do with chemistry issues. Either way, Baron Davis is putting up Quentin Richardson like numbers.
Davis' 2008-2009 statistics: 15.9 points, 35.3% fg, 28.6% 3pt, 7.8 assists, 2.51 turnovers

I think the knicks take this one as it's a MUST win for them. 117 - 112 Knicks. Also voting harrington to be the highest scorer.

I figure were due for a win. But then again i've been saying that for a about a week.

The real question is this: What is the over/under on how many times Kiyaman mentions how good of a role player Mardy Collins is and that we shoulda kept him.

Kiya Man Over/Under Lines

3 How we should have kept Collins

2 Mentions of Collins chemistry with David Lee and Nate Robinson

1 How Zach Randolph should have started last season on the beach

5 how we should have hired a defensive assistant coach

1 Demetrius Nichols being 6'9 defender

3 and 1/2 How a second unit featuring Balkman, Collins, and Nate would have put us in the playoffs.

1 off topic mentioning of Brooke Lopez

Thats all i got but feel free to place your bets and add more.

outside shooting will win us this game. Camby rules the defensive end. Also, it would be nice to see Gallo get more minutes so we can see what hes all about!

For all of our sakes, I hope your prediction is wrong. But we can easily be 0-6 instead of 1-5 entering the all-star weekend. The inconsistency of the Knicks makes me twitch. Damn stressful...

Those look very on point. The only thing I would add is how are starting lineup should have the 5.9 Nate Robinson, 6.2 Stephon Marbury, 6.8 Wilson Chandler, 6.9 Al Harrington, and 6.9 David Lee. I got 10 on that.

Clippers have way too much size for the Knicks, who are undermanned. How can the Knicks match Camby, Randolph and Thornton, with Gallo, Harrington and Lee? I sense a monumental butt whipping. It'll be funny seeing D'Antoni have a titty attack on the sidelines, though.

Yea d'antoni's frustration is quite comical. I wanna see him get to bob knight status. Throw a chair at one of the refs.


Abcd, nice game thread by the way...

Yea i forgot to say it in my other post but great game thread ABCD. I think I like your game threads the most, even more then mine. Its not really a matter of anyones game thread being better then someone elses, we all have different styles but I've always liked your style (no homo). And good choice with the song...you cant go wrong with foxy and Az, two of the best lyrically from Brooklyn.

Nate is shooting 6-13 and 1-6 from three...

Real definition of his game tonight is the goose egg in turnovers. Now that is impressive for Nate.
