Knicks-Memphis (Dec. 7th)

[Knicks Analyst]

Sorry guys, I'm loaded with homework and school study and don't have time to write a preview. I personally apologize to all of you.

Let's discuss the game here.

*Quick Prediction: Knicks 94 Memphis 98

 

[Midnight Green]

I believe the Griz will take this game. No offense to the Knicks they are a good team, but I think the Griz will use this game as the starting point to get there season back on track. I think they have the talent to have a over .500 record they just have not been able to pu tit together. I think Gasol will have a huge game tonight over 30 points and over 10 rebounds.

I think that the Griz will get off to the big lead early with the Knicks making some what of a come back in the third, but sadely for them to little to late Griz take this one 98-86. Leading scorers Gasol and Posey for the griz Crawford and Marbury for the Knicks.

Well the game is over. Over a long time ago actually. My fears were confirmed. We lost. It wasnt too surprising to me considering we were playing short handed. They killed us from downtown. Marbury didnt play well. He was in foul woes for the whole game. I dont know why we started doubling team Pau so early. We should have let Kurt try to handle Pau himself rather than give up that many threes. Sometimes I dont understand Lenny Wilkens. Actually I usually dont understand Lenny Wilkens. The man is a fool. Also our perimeter defense is still laughable. It's just funny. That's how bad it is. We have to play the zone. It's a must. Houston was missed in this game. He wouldnt have been at a disadvantage against Mike Miller which was a serious problem for us as Crawford had his troubles defending him. We also didnt get the ball to Sweetney enough. But I've said this so many times I dont think anyone here takes notice anymore. We fall under .500. A dark day indeed. The rain falls in New York City right now symbolically(at least I think it's raining). We need Houston back. We really do.

Well I do my best. But if you want something a bit more positive I can give some positives to that game. Let me see...we now know Lenny Wilkens is a lousy coach. Crawford is inconsistent. TT has good games when we lose. Our man to man perimeter defense is, I would say weak but that's an understatement, atrocious. Whenever we get to the ball to Sweetney in the low post he usually gets fouled too bad we dont get it to him as much as we should. He's getting to be a better passer in the low post when he's doubled. But we dont give him the ball so it doesnt really matter. Houston really needs to pull Ariza aside and help him get a midrange jumper. I was able to come up with those conclusions from that game. Now that we know all of this maybe we can do something about it!! That's pretty positive stuff I think. I almost forgot...we got a nice highlight with the Moochie-Trevor connection. Feeling inspired yet?
