I know the season hasn't even started but I think The Knicks are the only team that can match up with The Lakers front court, Dwight Howard and Paul Gasol vs Chandler, Camby , Amare, Rasheed and even Kurt Thomas gives them the size to match up. I would take the Knicks over the Lakers because Melo is in his prime and Kobe is not, Chandler is the only guy in the league to give Dwight nightmares and Pau is a softy as Amare said and he has consistently disappeard these last 2 playoffs. There's alot of other factors of course but it would be pretty sweet beating the Lakers considering the only 2 championships the Knicks have were against the Lakers as well.
We got to get past the Heat first, but I agree, we match up better with Lakers. And we have 2 defensive minded SGs, so Kobe will be hounded by Shump and Brewer all game. I'm sure Ray can hold his own somewhat defending Nash, it's the quicker ones he has a tough time with. I'm not sure how Melo will fare against Metta World Peas, I'm imagining Melo having a difficult time overpowering Artest.
we gotta get past the celtics first
we got to get past 1 playoff win first lol
good point. Let them win 2 playoff games first

dont get me wrong i am 99% certain we will be past the first round but strangers things have happened just like the last 12 seasons
very optimistic thinking. lol. however, i do think the knicks will be a threat but i am not sure if they are better than the heat as presently structured. the big question is if melo and stat put their money where their mouth is and play their best ball in their careers. i expect a second round entry. i think they have the talent to make the conference finals and i would be ecstatic. finals? we will see but i love the enthusiasm.
One things for sure; Felton or Kidd or Priggs would be lighting up Nash. (and most likely vice-a-versa, although maybe Nash doesn't light up Felton all that much)
And the new improved nasty-Stat and Krazy Eyes will get Meltdown World Piece T'd out by halftime of every game.
Let's roll those clips of JR's D shutting down Kobe again, please...
