STATS gotta get these guys going again. This team has 2 All Stars (Westbrook and Durant) so we should be OK. If we pick up our defense under the basket, we have a great shot. If not it will be like the 6th straight loss to this team

Thunder have been rolling offensively of late. Luckily they play no defense this year so STAT should get his points. I think Felt can keep Westbrook in check, but Durant is probably going to go off.

Anyways the Knicks need a win, and this would be a huge morale booster.
 
I'll be paying close attention to the defense, thats our biggest weakness. Hopefully the Knicks starters are well rested....they might be putting in big minutes again if the coach hasn't figure out how to play his bench yet.

Nope Today we will be likely going to our bench just read an article about how The Don Father wants us to use a deeper rotation before he makes changes.

We need to go to the bench this game other wise we will go into the new year with our main guys playing 40+ minutes a night. I thnk we should shorten the bench again right before playoff time.

The best quarter of the season.
Finally good use of the bench and Gallo mid game and attack movement inside

Fantastic Chandler and Turiaf

Does Felton and Douglas like playin together
Toney Douglas has not been allowed (or apart) of the offense when Felton is on the court.
Douglas without Felton, has got more teammates into the offense..... even Turiaf is scoring
somethin is up with the two
