The Knicks have been red hot these past two weeks. They have won 4 out of their last 5 games, and they are currently just 1 game behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are looking to make it 5 out of 6, as they take on the Hawks.

The Hawks are currently on a two game losing streak. Their most recent loss comes against the Miami Heat. The Hawks look to bounce back, as they take on Knicks.

Joe Johnson

Quentin Richardson is going to have the challenge of guarding Joe Johnson. Richardson needs to force Johnson into taking contested jumpers. Richardson also needs to post up and drive to the basket, if he wants to be successful against Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson is one of the best shooting guards in the NBA. He can score 30 or more points, on any given night. If Johnson starts feeling it from the perimeter, it will be a long night for the Knicks.

I want those Wilson Chandler shoes....


And I got to say, Q is a lot better when he actually gets in the paint and shit instead of lurking around the 3 point line.

Does anyone remember on draft night, they showed Gallo's shoes. There was a blue and orange rooster on it. Has anyone seen those?

Agreed about Q-Rich, he's probably our best post-up player. Unfortunately, he would rather chuck 3's.

I think I may have saw the worst call by a referee ever. A Hawk charges into Gallo and falls, they call a blocking foul in the act of shooting. :wtf:

I don't like the 2010 plan either, but I stopped talking about it since so many people in here were getting emotional.

Does anyone know why Nate salutes the hoop before shooting a free throw?

He was playing some guys in Call of Duty online, and they didn't believe it was him. So he said he would salute in his games to prove it was him.

Nate carried us in the 4th quarter. That alley-oop was sick. The Nets lost tonight, so I think we're 9th in the east. :peace:

8th Seed

New Jersey and Milwaukee lost tonight so I think the Knicks are tied with Milwaukee for 8th place. Milwaukee may have a slight percentage advantage. All I know is that the Knicks are 0 games back from Milwaukee.

Damn! 9th place

I did the math and the Bucks have a .448 winning percentage and the Knicks have a .444 winning percentage, so the Knicks are in 9th place. Lets keep winning, cause we know Milwaukee is out of playoff contention with Redd out the rest of the year. Go Knicks!
