Made this discussion thread so I wouldn't have to talk to myself in the Knick forum. So how much do you guys think the Knicks are losing by today?
The Knicks will be lucky not to be down by 20 points at the half. The Rockets will be lucky not to let New York come back from 20 down. Either way, Houston wins.
Aww MrJ, you can be a Rocket fan any day you like!! Rockets win this easy-peasy lemon squeezie by 25. T-Mac busts out for 49 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds.
Snyder's hand might be broken, but it was amusing watching him shoot the free throws. Curry is a disgrace. Yao Ming is killing him.
Damn, the Knicks are actually staying with us in this game. At this rate, with the current 8 point lead, I'm not sure we'll be able to withstand the later opponent surge that always kills us in the end. EDIT- Looking at the box score, and what the hell, Yao doesn't have a rebound?
What was Isiah thinking removing the second unit. It's not surprise when we insert the starters they start stinking it up.
Knicks have a lot of potential player. But, for some reason, from two games that I watched (they played against Rockets), seems like they need to learn more about the team (like defense, offense, etc). Maybe it's also the coach's fault. But neway, glad that Rockets pulled the W today. I pretty much predict this would happen (but I still watch it ). and +++ JVG play Spounallis today. Who knows maybe next time he plays Novak.
I'm glad that Spanouliss finally got some playing time, but unfortunately it took an injury to Snyder for it to happen. Hopefully, Bonzi will be ready for the next game. Yao will definitely be a focus on Sportscenter, but not for the reason he or I would have wanted. Yao seems to get hit in the face about one or two times every game. Here's a quote from Yao regarding the block: "I have been blocked by 5 foot 3 guys before so that was nothing"

With Snyder, Hayes and Sura on the injured list means that Bonzi might be on the active list by wednesday. Too bad for Snyder. Probably we'll gonna lose him for 2 to 3 months. Nice to see TMac contribute on the 4th quarter while VSpan gets the chance to play. Hopefully this situation will bring some positive things for the Rockets.
<div class="quote_poster">TmacGarnett Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">clutchfans reported that Bonzi is going to play against the wizards.</div> YESSSSSSSSSSS!! And, I must say - Although I hated for Snyder to get injured, it was hilarious watching him shoot the freethrow.
Err-another Rocket down. At least JVG doesn't have to decide who gets to play. Nate's block was BS. Yao and T-Mac both need to develop some sort of 'killer instinct' and close out games toghether in the 4th. I know some people think that is okay during season games, but during the playoffs you will need to play more of a team game in the 4th. I think we should just resort to T-Mac and Yao creating the offense in the 4th until the team develops some chemistry. Hopefully that happens before the ASB. EDIT: I apologize to everyone for not making the game thread. For some reason I thought I was doing the Wizard's game and was recently notified that I missed the preview. Wont happen again.

I'd gladly accept some small player blocking Yao's shot every game as long as the Rockets win, and he still goes off for 30 and 10.. Oh well, gives Knick fans a reason to cheer.. lol
