I expect it to be competitive early. Purely from a hype & excitement standpoint. The crowd will be into early, especially those who are going to the Garden for the first time, and those going to a game as a christmas gift.

It'll be a bloodbath from half way thru the second quarter and on.

Exactly. I didn't want Melo out for this game, but this is a great look for "ball-movement,"ISO-Melo" hating crew around here. This team is nothing without Melo. Ball movement be damned your stars(Melo,Tyson) to beat their stars(Durant,Westbrook). Who is going to score the ball-movement people???:(

Tyson Chandler needs some help he can't do it all himself on the defensive end, he needs a defensive running mate.

I like this lineup on the court .. Murry, Shump, Smith, K-Mart, Stat, although I would rather have MWP than JR .. but this was supose to be our 2nd unit lineup.

I watch Westbrook rebound over Tyson throughout the first half .. no more Tyson please.
