Camby said he will play Christmas Day. Feels close to pain free after cortisone.
Well...can and will are 2 different things. Woodson may not feel comfortable throwing him out there.
If he's been practicing with the team and Woody thinks he ready then I say let him play , we are going to need him.
Danphoney's gonna have those guys ready to play, the whole world will be watching, this is an East coast West coast game.
If Wallace and Stat are both out, Camby will get minutes and a chance to get back into the rotation. Hopefully he plays well.

I agree. He was ready earlier in the year and wasn't getting on the court so his declaration may not mean immediate court time. I hope he plays. I really liked that the Knicks went out and got him. I hope he plays like he did last year.

Was he actually ready though? He was hurt all preseason and then played 46 minutes in the regular season before being put on the injured list. It seems pretty likely to me that he wasn't healthy yet and needed more time to recuperate.

Woody usually says that and alibis his injured guys. I don't recall him doing that with Camby.
As long as he plays with a bow on his head . . . or scores 20/10 . . . welcome back, Cambyman.
