[KG4ever]

I think the knicks is going to win this match, Stephon Marbury with 20+ points

 

[TimFlem]

I'll have to agree. Knicks by 4 since they are at home.

 

[Trip]

Tim Thomas will probably have a huge game. However, I think the Knicks will be no match for the Pistons.

Knicks 79
Pistons 90

 

[Ming637]

The Knicks didnt start Thomas, but the Knicks are beating them so far 45-38.

 

[Rave]

Nice preview, I don't think the Knicks will be all that strong overall in the next half of the season. Plus Big Ben will dominate all of your defensive players. How come, no Tayshaun starting? Anyway, good luck to both teams, but I think Pistons will be too much for you to handle. Pistons by 7.

 

[Ming637]

Knicks win 92-88. Marbury had 28 points and 9 assists. Penny Hardaway had 17 and 9 boards and Othella had 14 points and 9 boards in 228 minutes.

Good job. Right on the money.

 

[PyroManiac]

Well, good game. No hard feelings, you have a great player in Marbury.

Next time we see James Capers on the court during a Pistons game, he is being shot though.

He dies....

I'm not bitter, a lot of miscues on the Pistons end cost us this game. Larry Brown has some issues with playing the needed players at the right moments. Okur is playing great and doesn't play in the 4th quarter. Hamilton goes 3-20 from the field and plays for 40 minutes. Corliss is STILL playing at the 4 when he is more effective at the 3. Darvin Ham played 20 minutes and has nothing to show for it. Darko didn't play.

Ah well, it is just a bad streak and when we get a scrorer, better watch out.

Good game.

 

[STC]

Good game. Marbury came in clutch. What was with Rip? He shot horribly, and missed 2 open layups.

 

[Ravenous]

Not bad at all...Knicks played kind of shot handed wit Houston out and Tim Thomas only played 9 minutes!

 

[STC]

Yeah, he was probably really nervous. He put that 3 right off the backboard, not even grazing the rim.
