definitely one of the lamest game thread starts I have ever seen.

i think the knicks win this one, for what it's worth. i see melo going for 35-40pts and a decent shooting night from toney and continued good play from tyson.

almost seems like it might help if amar'e sat out at this point, particularly against cousins.

I have only one word of advice to the Knicks tonight:

MarburyAnd1Crossover @ 12/31/2011 12:38 PM

I think the Knicks got this!

crzymdups @ 12/31/2011 12:47 PM

Amar'e to sit, officially.

Stoudemire to sit vs. Kings with ankle sprain

11:59 AM, December 31, 2011 ι By MARC BERMAN
SACRAMENTO – Amar’e Stoudemire is out for tonight’s game at Sacramento with a sprained left ankle, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The Knicks have not made it official but Stoudemire is expected to miss his season’s first game when the Knicks conclude their California trip vs. the Knicks at 8 p.m. Stoudemire sprained his ankle Thursday in the fourth quarter in LA after rolling to the basket off a pick and getting hit by a Lakers player. Stoudemire tumbled to the court and left the game.
Stoudemire did not practice yesterday and was receiving “a bombardment of treatment.’’ But with the Knicks back home Monday vs. Toronto, the Knicks will give Stoudemire a rest. Stoudemire has said during training camp he may miss a few games to rest his bumps and bruises.

No Stat...Here's to hoping Steve Novak can step up

martin @ 12/31/2011 1:04 PM

so who's gonna start? Jorts?

rp @ 12/31/2011 1:24 PM

gotta b jorts at PF?

Hope so, with Jordan seeing backup minutes.

crzymdups @ 12/31/2011 1:48 PM

i actually think the team will look much better with amar'e sitting. i think they win tonight.

i'd start jorts in stat's place.

You know what, I might be inclined to agree over the short term. He isn't hitting baskets, he isn't really rebounding or playing D consistantly, and he is a black hole on offense which has turned into too many iso/TOs.

Not that they were stellar, but Novak and Jorts had some good roatations and defensive awareness as second line guys in their minutes against Lakers.

yeah, just meant for right now. long term, i think amar'e might look better when baron starts playing. but for right now, might be better to get amar'e the rest and let the rest of the group be forced to step up.

i see 35-40pts for melo tonight. which, granted, is not a long-term plan for success.

longer term, i think this team might need to think about making amar'e and melo be the centerpiece of different lineups throughout the game. maybe the first quarter after amar'e sits, melo leads a group built around tyson and toney. then amar'e and bdiddy come in with a pick and roll unit. dunno, just a thought.

i think the cohesion between stat and melo is a major issue and not sure even baron solves it.
