Marbury should have a big game tonight against the deficient defensive Mavericks. I'm tellin ya that if Kurt Thomas plays like he did vs. Milwaukee every game we wont lose many games. We need another good game from Dirty Kurty. Hopefully Allan Houston will light it up tonight in this run and gun game. Hopefully Van Horn will play, if not Penny should get more minutes which would be good considering how well he played vs. the Bucks. Should be exciting.

Hopefully Allan Houston will not suck like he always does against Dallas. Michael Finley is starting at SF so maybe he'll get to exploit Marquis Daniels.

 

[Fordy74]

Yeah, we get a break that Josh Howard is out because he plays some good D.

 

[Fordy74]

after one dallas 34-25. We need to step it up on D.

 

[Fordy74]

Frank Williams is in backing up Marbury. I like this instead of Moochie. Moochie is good too but I think Frank is the better option here and the better player.

 

[Fordy74]

Frankie makes 2 buckets= one of which a sweet drive and wild shot that falls- gotta love his creativity. Also plays stifling defense on Delk to force an airball. We got 2 great PG's folks!!:clap:

 

[Fordy74]

Still down 10 points tho and Kurt gets his 3rd foul :banghead:

 

[Fordy74]

68-54 Dallas at the half. We need Kurt Thomas to get going to Join Othella's good work so far tonight down low.

What a game this has become. That 4th quarter from the Knicks was tremendous.

Down 101-86 heading into the 4th the Knicks outscore the Mavs 29-14 to force OT.

Go Starbury... OH BABY

Yeah it did. One thing I don't like about the Mavs is they tend to flop all over the court. You'd think they learned that from the Kings or something.

 

[Knicks Junkie]

A disappointing finish, but Stephon Marbury had a hell of a game. Hopefully, our fourth quarter performance can be seen as a step in the right direction. One question: Where did all of our defense go?

 

[Fordy74]

heartbreaking loss after an amazing comeback spirited by Marbury. A little more defense would have been the difference. I really wanted this win. Oh well Marbury proved tonight that this is his team. He should be named captain next season, it was awesome to see him lead the comeback and have the Garden rocking. Its too bad we ended up losing cuz this would have been a classic comeback win.

 

[NYKBaller]

Marbury is the real deal, BABY!!! We just need a low post scoring threat and we are the team to beat in the east...

 

[truth]

low post scoring threat??? anyone in mind???
We really need an inside out game

 

[Northpole]

If only they had played defense in the 4th quarter from the begining, maybe they could have won.

Ely, Cardinal. They both are available. I'd much rather have cardinal if we can get him.

 

[son of oakley]

Why is cardinal available, I thought they loved that guy?

A semi glut at his position. They do love him though, cliff troy cardinal, chaney Dunleavy popeye and they have 3 centers.
