Ming637's prediction

The Knicks just need to do their keys to the game and put pressure on Redd and Van Horn.

I think your starting lineups are screwed up...are those accurate...anyways I take the Bucks by 4, Redd goes for 30 in this one.

I predict that Starbury gets alot of assists (10+) and that Redd shots well in this game.I think he will get 25+ points in this game.KVH and Desmond should get atleast 15 points in this one.I predict the Bucks win by 5.

BTW, Damon starts at pg and Redd at sg, not the other way.

Those were the line-ups from the last games. I also thought they were in-accurate, so i'll edit them now.

I predict Knicks by 4.

 

[Henacy]

Van Horn is going to come with it against the Knicks. He felt disrespected by the Knicks, the way he was shipped out by Thomas. I remember the 1st matchup Van Horn had against the Nets last year. He took it right at K-mart for the way K-mart influnced him getting trade from the Nets. I expect the same type of motivation for KVH. But the Knicks should be able to pull this one out. Steph should have big# against Damon Jones.And it should be interesting to see what Vin Baker gives the knicks.

Desmond didn't go for 36 for the Wizards

 

[Ming637]

Bucks up at the half 61-39. You think game is over? Think again. Knicks outscored the Bucks in the 3rd, 35-19 and the fourth, 29-20. The Knicks end up winning 103-100. Vin Baker had a decent game with 12 points and 10 boards. Stephon had another double-double with 21 and 16, but needs to do better at the line, 5-10 at the charity stripe. Tim Thomas scored 20 and had 8 boards against his former team.

Marbury, 'nuff said. He got everyone involved, and they just capped it off by shooting well. He gots the Suns to do a similar comeback against Boston earlier this season, also on the road.

Good thing they won since Indiana screwed things up by losing to Cleveland.
