That was an impressive win for us. Even though it was against a bad team, we only had 7 players on a back to back. Nate, Chandler, Lee, Q-Rich, Duhon all came through and had good games.

I can't believe Quentin Richardson hit all those 3's. I'm still stunned. Good win, though.

Playing back-to-back nights with 7 guys and coming off a horrible loss and we come back and win the next night....Kudos to D'Antoni knowing he was undermaned and he still got his team ready and they came to play for him

Q-Rich-34 points 12 rebs
Chandler-23 points 6 reds
Lee-22 points 12 rebs
Nate-27 points 6 asts 6 rebs
Duhon-10 points 11 asts

these guys came to play and it showed they played well together and meshed well...Duhon had a good game good bounceback game for him Chandler was good in the post showed strenght with several and1s Nate was a beast not only scoring in bunches but had some pretty dishes to Lee and he played the shit out some defender crossed that dude up...Lee was great grabbing rebounds hustling and scoring down low and Q-Rich was unstoppable from the start shooting machine wow!...we won with 7 guys thats unheard of...and the other 2 were Roberson(2points)and Rose(4 points) so basically our starting five won this game nice for them to get some rest and kudos to them nice effort

Well said man, we needed a win and we got one, i know the wizards are shit right now too, but we were badly undermanned and for those 7 guys to give it there all, it sent a good vibe to the fans of the garden.

He had his months worth of threes in this game. He'll go back to normal tue after the mario bros mushroom wears off lol...
I know. Tell me about it. Quentin Richardson usually shoots about 35% from the field, so to see him score like that was unbelieveable. lol

lmao at all the doubters

^thanks...looks like were gonna drop to 6-7 smh...being over .500 was good while it lasted


Chris Duhon vs Dee Brown

This matchup pits two former great college pointguard against each other, even though neither has found great success in the NBA.

Coach Eddie Jordan has elevated Dee into the starting lineup as of late, but to many its a real mystery. All indicators show him to be a great college player who lacks both the size and skill to be an effective pro. However, the same can be said about Duhon.

Don't look for a big scoring night from either of these two men, maybe a few assists and a few turnovers, but no much from either of these former college greats.

Verdict:
Tie

At Shooting Guard:

Nate Robinson vs. Deshawn Stevenson

Nate had a poor shooting night last night and don't expect that to change. Deshawn Stevenson is an underrated defender and with his height advantage, should give Nate problems.

Neither player will score a whole lot, but Nate will take more shots. Deshawn never turned out to be the 20ppg scorer they thought he'd be when he was drafted out of HS, but hes made a name for himself defensively in the last couple years.

Verdict:
Advantage Wizards

At Small Forward:

Quentin Richardson vs. Caron Butler

While Quentin Richardson had shown in his time with the Knicks that he can be a good defender, don't expect it tonight as Caron Butler should destroy him. But then again, he normally destroys everyone. Expect a few mid range jumpshots in Q's face and some uncontested drives.

Verdict:
Advantage Wizards

At Power Forward:

Wilson Chandler vs. Antawn Jamison

As good as Chandler has been playing, he had a rough night last night. Expect him to bounce back offensively and take it to rim more.

Jamison is a 20 and 10 guy who can bang inside or take it out. Expect him to sit around his season average offensively.

Verdict:
Tie

At Center:

David Lee vs. JaVale McGee

Hey! It rhymes!

JaVale McGee is looking good for a rookie and has a clear advantage in both height and athletic ability. However, he does have the young man's tendency to try and showboat as we saw in the first game as he missed easy dunks because he tried to showboat.

David Lee may be outmatched height wise, but look for him to take it at McGee. He may not have the physical presence but he will still work hard to help his team and show everyone why Knicks fans love him.

Both guys will rebound and get baskets off penetration or from offensive bounds, but don't look for either to create their own shot a lot. McGee can shoot some 15 footers, but so can Lee. Lee has a tendency to post up and try a hook shot this season, but McGee's height may inhibit this and deter him posting up.

Don't expect a huge offensive night from either of these guys. They may very well suprise me and end up with 20+, but it mostly likely won't be their own doing and be caused by either the constant airballs of teammates, or the penetration of a number of Wizards players, or the pentration of Duhon, Nate, or Wilson.

Verdict:
Tie

Key Matchup:


None!

Knicks are going to get scrubbed tonight and there isn't a real key matchup that is going to be the factor between a win and a loss.


Pressure Player of the Game:

Q

Guy has been pure shit as of late. Expect him to play a great game tonight or get relegated to the bench when the new guys arrive. D loves him, but he knows he can't take much more of his awful performance.

Its do or die for Q Rich tonight, this game is for his spot in the starting lineup.



Great Thread, JPZ 17!
Another loss for the Knicks. The Knicks will be 6-7, after Saturday.

given how bad the wizards are, i expect nothing more then we saw last night if we have the same line up, unfortunately

dont work too hard tuner...the wizards suck and we most likely will suck too. Im not a fan of a game thread approval...as long as it has starting .

WOW i just got the chance to post for this and Q Rich has one of his amazing out break games that comes once every month. He has had two great games and every other game he stinks. This guy has talent if he can score like he did against the Wizards.......he has to be consistent and Mike D has to mold him to be more consistent and play more aggressive and a little smarter. Q Rich makes some bone head plays.

Problem with Q is that if he starts shooting good then he becomes a ball hog and throws up shots.


Can someone say Crawford part 2?
