The two highest value franchises in the NBA battle it out in a game unfit for national consumption. The Knicks had been playing very well up until that Pacers loss and the Lakers are without Kobe, possibly forever, so definitely a winnable game for us. Linsanity returns to MSG and we'll see how the fans greet him and whether or not he is saving up something big for this game. Let's go Knicks!

I'm watching on MSG. I guess the game was originally supposed to be a network or ESPN game.
I'm not going to say this is a good team, but watching this lineup of Amundson, Jason Smith, Melo, Calderon, and Galloway at least makes me feel like I am watching a real NBA team on both ends of the court. It is nothing like that garbage play we were rolling on the court as recently as a few weeks ago.
Galloway blows by Lin for the layup and then hits a free throw to complete the three point play. Down the other end, Galloway punctuates the help defense in the paint and gets the block. Galloway with 8 points in 8 minutes to start the game. Man, please let this kid be for real as an NBA player.
No, it will attract no one, but for those of us desperate to have a little fun watching some Knicks games this year, things are so much better than they were not that long ago. Amundson out there now, just made a monster block, and Acy out there as well, just playing the game like their lives depend on it. Fun to watch.

The Lakers need to be terrible at least among the five worst teams because of the Nash trade otherwise they lose their 1st rounder this year, I can't see any reason for them playing to win any games this year.htr10 said:
These new Knicks are killing the chances to get Okafor or Towns for what? Thomas is a FA and Amundson has played for 10 teams in 10 years I'd rather the Knicks finish with the worst record at this point.
I'm not going to debate whether or not we should be tanking, but if I'm watching the games, I'm not going to sit here for 2 and a half hours and say over and over 'oh crap, we just made another good play, boo hoo, we are finally playing okay basketball'. Rooting for your team to lose to get a draft pick is fine if that's what you want to do, but don't expect people like me to be unhappy when we are winning games.
Also, I have bad news for the fans holding their breath for us to get the best odds for the number one overall pick. We are 5 - 2 over our last 7 after going 5 - 36 over the first half of season. No way, no how, are we getting the worst record in the NBA unless the Knicks shut down Melo. We are not a good team with or without him, but we are definitely going to keep winning some games as long as he is playing.
