IF anyone knows how to guard Curry, it would be Chandler and we would - or at least should destroy them on the boards. Especially if we gang rebound. Melo is a very good rebounder and will do his thing at Power Forward. Unless LeBron plays PF, we will have a huge advantage there as well.

Since this is a Lin thread I'll add it here; We could have used his scoring tonight. I just don't think Felton is the same kind of threat as Lin passes to the open man incredibly well. Who knows, maybe we do something miraculous tonight. If we do I have a feeling it will involve Copeland and Prigs. It is a given that Melo will need to go for 30 + and shoot a high percentage. If we do bad tonight and Felton/Kidd is at all connected, expect this thread to spread like a virus. 
We will shoot 35 threes. If we make 60% we might win
Honestly, we don't have to though that is the standard way we seem to go about things. We have both Camby and Chandler and I think we might see both of them out there at the same time. The way to beat Miami is probably inside (not sure why they didn't bring back Curry).
I could never see Camby and Tyson on the floor together against the Heat not with Rashard Lewis, Miller, Lebron and Battier rotating between the 3 and 4.
simple, just put the more mobile Chandler on Lewis. Miller, Lebron and the rest are not the center or power forwards responsibility.
Chandler would struggle getting beat off the dribble, although I doubt Lewis would dribble that much but who knows. Then you have a problem on offense with spacing its not like you can post either Camby or Chandler up.
Beat of the dribble by Rashard stiff ass Lewis? I don't see that happening at all. Dude lost almost all mobility with that injury and has pretty much turned a guy that hangs out at the three point line.
Also, I don't think spacing will be a problem if they both get in. Unlike Chandler, Camby has played power forward and has a decent jump shot (ugly as hell but decent). They shouldn't get in each others way. The PNR with Camby on the floor AND Chandler being very good at rolling to the basket for the lob will be good to see.
Lewis actually showed some mobility against the Cs he even went in the blocks to post up. It was one game but he didn't look like he did in DC. I am not sold on Camby's shot. I think I saw his % as an effective shooter has gone way down.
Anyway, We will find out tonight.
I dont even think we will see a lot of camby tonight

But of course
Its a good thing knicks won tonight
The Rockets have a Top 5 Back Court in the NBA.

Not.to worry. When the Knocks lose you can both rip them and create.yet another Lin lovefest thread. As opposed to when they win...where you can ignore them yet still proceed with the Lin love.

The Hawks are going to be one of the worst teams in the east this year, they are in rebuilding mode I'm glad Lin had a nice game but let's all relax now

Phx played Detroit tonight and not 1 player on their team scored over 16pts Harden dropped more than double this when he played them. Look it's one thing to use a comparison team played vs team played but dropping 45pts on any team in the NBA who really was trying to win the game should be respected within reason.
Knicks beat the champs by 20 despite injuries and sandy. Never underestimate the benefit of a real coach running a real training camp. Guys want to play for woody. Guys that want to get paid suck it up and play for mchale.

I was talking about Lin not Harden , Harden has earned my respect
Rockets win two on the road. I doubt they are elite but road victories are still very nice.
After two games Harden is the league MVP and Rocket undefeated on the road!
Nice two games for the Bearded one and a good game for Lin.
Lin can be beat point in the game as long as the KNicks take care of their business!
and tonite they did!!!
Lin/Harden = the best backcourt in the NBA.
Harden was wasted on OKC anyway. It's such a great feeling to see him go to team where he can SHINE. The same goes for Lin. He was part of an organization that didn't respect him one bit.
Knicks are going to feel the wrath of Lin when they meet up with Houston. Even though Lin is humble, I could already tell that he's got one game in the back of his mind where he wants to rip shit up and that that is the game against the Knicks.
Also, against Heat and Nets.
D-Will just needs to STFU.
Harden may lead the league in scoring. That is the real story here.
Happy that Fields got paid also but I didn't miss him last night and was really pleased with how well Brewer played.

Best backcourt in the NBA after 2 games against sub par teams?
We will demo Lin when we play the Rockets. Felton will be on him like white on rice.

Brewer is definetly an upgrade over field and his contract is so cheap, I really liked this move when it happened. Saying that, I still feel that we need to improve the talent in the backcourt if we want to make it far this time.
I keep watching the post game interviews on msg and honestly I don't care what Lin does. This team was built right and plays right. Just one game but it looks like the Knicks have a throwback team built for playoff wars.

Isn't every team subpar at this point? your statement holds no water. The Lakers looks deadly on paper but they're 0-3. You can consider them sub-par too at this point so enough with the 'sub-par' crap.
The season is fresh. Every teams are on the table.
......Or black on charcoal.
It isn't Lin's fault he ended up on the Rockets. You can blame the lousy Knicks front office for that so stop acting like he betrayed the team or something.
