PG: Stephon Marbury and Gilbert Arenas are a fun matchup to watch. Both have that "feline quickness" and have great ballhandling skills. Marbury and Arenas are both averaging 20ppg however, Marbury has the upperhand in assists. Marbury will need to play tough defense on Arenas as he is shooting 42% from behind the arc. He can ill afford lack of defensive intesity tonight
because he wouldn't want to give Arena any sort of confidence.
SG: Another exciting one as Jamal Crawford and Larry Hughes square off. It should be a dramatic confrontation between the two. It is very important that Crawford actually plays defense. Crawford needs to play force Hughes to take jumpshots from the perimeter. Unlike Hughes, he is shooting 28% from 3point range. Hughes is a great leaper, ballhandler, and passer (he used to play PG) so Jamal needs to play him tough.
SF: Well again...what can we really expect from TT. He will be playing Jarred Jeffries. Let's hope that he can be a factor and take advantage of his matchup. TT is a very capable player he is just nonchelant and doesn't work hard enough. I hope it doesn't go too bad.
PF: Antawn Jamison and Kurt Thomas. Atleast he's not playing the SF like he was in Dallas. Phew! Imagone TT playing him. Well anways, Kurt Thomas is playing yet another dominant PF. From Gasol, O'neal, Duncan, Garnett, Brand, Nowitzki and all the other ones I left out, Kurt is one of our best choices. Jamison can shoot the 3 and is quick and athletic. So Kurt has his hands full again. Despite Jamison's versatility, he isn't that much of an aggressive defender so hopefully Kurt Thomas will make him pay with that midrange jumpshot.
C: Nazr Mohammed will be facing a tough challenge. Brendan Haywood is a brolic dude and might give Nazr a hard time in the post. In addition he is averaging 2.5bpg. But, I am still convinced Nazr will find a way to do his thing and put up points and boards. Mohammed is quick and athletic which might give Haywood some problems. This will definitely be an interesting matchup.

I think it is pretty obvious the floor generals Stephon Marbury and Gilbert Arenas are. They are the leading scorers and leading assists man for their team. They need to get everyone involved in the game if any of them will win. They are also the most exciting to watch too!

These new and improved Washinton Wizards are a very tough challenge but, I see the Knicks pulling out a 100-98 win over them. I hope it is by more but, the Wizards have a very solid lineup and the highest scoring backcourt in the league with a combined 42+ppg. Also something that I think will be key for us is the return of Allan Houston!!! His presence will definitely lift up our spirits. After sitting out for about 10 months the sharpshooter is finally back! Don't expect him to get the Chaney treatment and play with a bad knee for 49 minutes but, expect him to get around 15. The real game I'm looking forward to is when he comes at the Garden to play Denver! Welcome back Allan Houston!
