You look at the Knicks roster, you see more talent than the Raptors, yet Toronto has a better record than the Knicks. However, I fully expect New York to take this game at MSG. Kurt Thomas, Mike Sweetney, Mo Taylor and Rose would be a handful for Chris Bosh to deal with, and Bosh is not adept at guarding physical post players such as Sweetney. On defense, it will be a different situation, as Bosh's quickness and explosiveness would be a handful for the Knicks defenders. I'd expect Marbury to go off for a big night as Rafer Alston is a very bad defender on the pick and roll, and from what I see, New York runs a lot of those with him and Thomas. Raptors will be fatigued this game and with both teams playing for nothing, I would actually like the Raptors losing for a better lottery pick.
New York by 7.
