hey, you know, I'm sure even haterburys would like to see Steph have a good game or two with the Knicks before he leaves
Ha not at all JPZ.. I don't want to see him even in Knicks warmups again. But to the game.
Obviously the Cavs are playing at a high level, but i also feel other then a few absolute awful performances (mainly the two Bucks games) the Knicks have competed hard every night. Tonight may very well be the most electric MSG has been in 5 years. All the new guys and Lebron in town it should be fun.
I think the starting lineup for tonight will be something like this.
Lee
Chandler
Harrington
Q
Duhon
And once Mobley begins to practice more i believe he'll be the starting shooting guard.
I'm not a big fan of Tim Thomas but for some reason i expect him to have the best game out of the three new players. The main reason i believe that is because he has the best background knowledge of the system plus he'll basically just be spotting up in the corners so all he'll really have to do is shoot the ball and if you remember Tim he has no problem with jacking up threes.
Lebron is a top 5 NBA player and is going to put up his numbers but i think the Knicks should almost let Lebron get his 35-40 and worry more about stopping the likes of Mo Williams and big Z. Lebrons going to get his but if you keep the other role players out of the flow you have a chance.
Also after this trade we can basically rotate 4 different defenders (Chandler, Harrington, Thomas, and Q) at Lebron all night so maybe the different looks will slow him down.
Prediction
Knicks 107-Cavs 104
