I still don't know what that means. Hopefully the Knicks can show it to me today, where they will have their incredible frontcourt of Curry, Randolph and Lee. :roll:

10+ point win. I consider a win by less than 10 points a loss in this game.

I think this is going to be tough. We destroyed them last time, and they ought to be up for this game a bit more. But then who knows, maybe they'll just fold again. I don't think we can take this one for granted though.

Sounds like an easy win.
Expect to see plenty of Powe and Pruitt late in this one.

I surely hope not.
Well, if he could razzle us with another big dunk...Probably won't ever happen again.

I'm with Falstaff on this one. I see this being tougher than we think it will be. We embarrassed the hell out of them last time, so they have something to prove.

Still, if we bring our A game, we smoke them.

Hmm worthy of inspiring frear dread awe or alarm, difficult to defeat...hmm we must be talking about a different meaning of formidable i am unware of, or maybe the commercial was talking about the point of view of a cheeseburger, the front line would be very formidable to a cheeseburger.

They cant defend Garnett, and can only defend one of allen or pierce, we win by 12.

Why is this game at 1 PM? I don`t mind of course because for me is at 7 PM but since it is Monday it is strange...

NY is 4-1 and we are 3-2 in the last 5 games, so I guess they are the favourites! :lol:

It is not going to be easy but if we defend like we usually do we should win this game.

It's Martin Luther King Day (a holiday). That's the reason for those unusual tip-off times.

First thing I would like to know is who has MLK day off? If you work in the bank or for the government, that is the only people I know who have it off.

Celtic's by 15. You WILL see lots os Scal and Powe. :clap:

I don't have to work and I don't work for either. I'm surprised most people you know have to work. It's just the opposite for me, most people I know don't have to work today.

Edit: C's by 25.

Haha, it's funn that you mention cheeseburgers. I was at the preseason Knicks game in Boston. Every time Curry or Zach were at the line, right before they shot the ball, I screamed cheeseburger. I got Zach to miss 3 straight. While I appreciate the attempt at humor Spin, I think that the cheeseburgers are forimidable to the Knicks' front line.

Celtics by 20.

Edit: I'm working today. Most people I know are working too.

yeah, i'm at work, but i'm going home sick with celticitis soon. Good being the boss....

Well, I certainly don't expect a blowout as some of you do. These games are always tough, regardless of the opponent. NBA players like to sleep late. 1pm starts mess with their routine. And these guys are all about routines.

I'm at work going home at noon. I think this game is going to be a lot tougher than people think. The Knicks will be fired up because of the 45 point loss to the Celtics. Problem is the Knicks can't play defense and the Celtics can. Celtics win by 7.
