New York - Golden State

[Knicks Analyst]

I thought someone was going to write a preview for it. All good, let's discuss the Knicks game here.

 

[Mr. J]

My bad for no prevoew tonight guys.

I see the Knicks winging 105-98 just because this game will mostly likely decide our season unofficially. We normally relly shouldn't win this game, we just have so much in us that we can't lose.

Warriors Keys To Winning

- Run the ball up the court. If the Warriors can start some fast breaks early, they have a good chance of not getting beaten down low so they need the fast breaks.
- Key points from Biedrins. Andris Biedrins has become a key player for the Warriors so he needs to get some points down low for the Warriors and get a lot of boards down low.
- Shot selection. If the Warriors are shooting well, then keep on shooting. However if the Warriors aren?t shooting very well, they need to stop and penetrate.
- Slow down Marbury. The Warriors will need to stop Stephon Marbury early in the game and avoid something like what happened the last time the Warriors saw the Knicks.

Knicks Keys To Winning

- Low post game. The Knicks will need to use the low post game tonight and keep on scoring down low.
- Stop the Warriors from running. The Knicks will need to have very good defense to stop the Warriors from controlling the game by running. To do this the Knicks will need to shut down Baron Davis and Jason Richardson.
- Stephon Marbury?s passing game. Last time the Warriors and the Knicks faced off, Stephon Marbury got 10 + assists. The Knicks will need that again.
- Good shooting. The Knicks will need some good shooting in order to keep up with the Warriors.


Knicks MVP

Mike Sweetney 8.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 0.6 apg in 18.9 minutes
Projected Stats: 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist


Prediction

Warriors should win this. The final score. 110 to 104. Sweetney will have a big game as will Stephon Marbury, (9 assists) but the Warriors will come up on top due to some good bench scoring and shooting from Baron Davis and Jason Richardson.

I don't do previews as much as I used to, but now I will

Davis has butchered us at the half. Overall the defense is playing pretty well. Sorry I can't provide much analysis, the TV isn't working (flood) and I have to listen on the radio.

Knicks: 44
Warriors: 44
At the half.

Well its the end of the third. The Warriors managed to score 30+ in the third quarter. The score is 76-67. Our defense is just plain terrible. Baron Davis is killing us. Crawford isnt playing his usual amount of minutes because of poor defense which is strange considering Mo Taylor is in the game. Sweetney got pulled early because apparently our guards dont know how to get the ball to Sweetney when Foyle fronts him(which is strange considering even I can do that). Taylor is doing alright but we lose some rebounding prowess which hurts considering the Warriors are crashing the offensive glass. We're probably going to lose this game if it comes down to the wire.

 

[Knicks Analyst]

Ugh. 2:47 in the 4th, Murphy has 17 pts and 18 rebounds. I wish I had TV access, not just radio (damn flood here). Sounds like a massacre. What an embarrasement.

 

[Ming637]

Why's it seem that Stephon Marbury is the only one out there that is putting effort into the game? It's like the others don't even bother to help him. Jamal Crawford shoots poorly once again from the field. Mo Taylor had a decent game with 17 points, 6 boards in 16 minutes. I guess we're realisticly eliminated from the playoffs being 5.5 games back from philly as they making a hot run here.


EDIT: lol, I just noticed that the Sixers lost to the Kings, but we're still 5 games back.

The game is ending as I type. Massacre?? That's sugarcoating it. You dont want TV access. It's hurting my head just watching. We missed alot of shots around the hoop. You know the kind that Sweetney would have finished if he was in the game. Very disappointed in the Knicks right now and in Herb Williams. I dont see why he took Sweetney out as he wasnt in foul trouble. I mean Sweetney dominated them in the last game but I guess Herb saw things differently. Marbury had a great offensive game but a bad defensive game but you cant expect him to stop Baron Davis. The game is over just like our cursed season.

At least it wasn't a blowout.
