The Marbury / Telfair matchup might be interesting, a pair of cousins with checkered records of success going at one another in their hometown. I'm hopeful that Telfair won't get caught up in that stuff and runs the team as well as he did in game one.
When the starters are in, I'm excited by our frontcourt's prospects against the Randolph/Curry pairing. Should be fun.
I keep telling you guys Telfair is a godsend to your organization. If you guys don't screw him over like Boston and Portland did, he will be an amazing floor general. I won't be watching this game tonight as just a Knicks fan, but also as an observer of one of my favorite players in the league. I'm very interested in seeing whether Minnesota's coach (sorry that I don't know who it is)lets Sebastian run the offense like he knows how to do, or tries to manipulate (and limit) him as what happened in Portland and Boston.

The coach is Randy Wittman, former Indiana Hoosier, longtime NBA player, longtime NBA assistant and previous NBA head coach. He wants his point guards to run the team, but he is going to "restrict" in that he doesn't want a PG who is looking for his own shot until he's ensured that others don't have them. And from what I've seen of Telfair in the NBA, that has been his issue: shooting more than he should, and missing the shots (compounding the problem). That said, I like what he did in game one and believe he's talented. So we'll see.
Sebastian Telfair have a lot to prove why he's worthy to this team. I think he had his head screwed on straight after what happened in PDX and Boston. He is realizing that he's Foye's backup but with Foye's out, he gotta go and play big.
