Shold be a joy to watch.
I feel for Tyson
Felton's a pretty strong defender overall, but there's no reason to feel for Tyson Chandler, because that's why we also have defenders such as Pablo Prigioni, Iman Shumpert, J.R Smith and even Ronnie Brewer. All guards in whom can dig down and play with intensity on the perimeter.
I actually feel bad for Milwaukee as a team come tomorrow night.
We're 1-0 against these guys. A 14 point victory by the score of 102-88. This was on the road in Milwaukee too. Without the likes of Kidd, Shumpert, Stoudemire and Camby as well. Not to mention that Kurt Thomas only played 4 minutes. But yet we still won by 14 points, on the road in Milwaukee at that.
Now we're on the verge of getting these guys at home inside of Madison Square Garden where our Knicks are 16-6 at home? We're now featuring all of Kidd, Shumpert and Stoudemire this go around? Yea. I actually feel for Milwaukee as of right now.
With Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert, J.R Smith, Jason Kidd, Pablo Prigioni and Ronnie Brewer all ready to go, our guards are 100% complete and ready to go to war against opposing guards. Tomorrow night will become the first time this season in which Felton, Shump, J.R, Kidd, Pablo and Brewer have all active during the same game.
Exciting to say the least.

Jennings lives to play the Knicks. Felton along with a big should trap BJ at the 3 pt line with team rotation. No way Kidd should guard Ellis, that should be Shump's duty.
knicks1248@ 1/31/2013 5:18 PM
If we don't trap..forget about it..I see woodson made an adjustment in the 2nd half..nelson was pace to touch felton again until we got the ball out of his hands

So we're all agreed that Jennings is going to have a monster game, yep?
Felton and Shump need more games under their belts- their defense is understandably rusty as hell since they came back. Unfortunately, that means Ellis and Jennings will probably be lethal. Factor in Robert Randolph's Friday night curse too.
We should be able to beat this team, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
I don't like anyone on the Bucks (especially Dunleavy who seems to shoot 70% vs us), but Monta Ellis did give one of my favorite interviews this season so it's hard to harbor any ill feelings towards him:

God do I hate Robert Randolph's Friday Night Knicks curse and that infernal song!!!
They should just do a reboot, pick up another artist and new song

That song echoes in my head after every Friday night loss!

Buck the bucking bucks. We can/should dominate them in the paint. Let their guards shoot jumpers, contested, of course. When they drive, we should double sometimes just to keep them out of the paint. Zone seems like a good fit against this team, if we can put a body on Dunleavy Iliasova

Our Knicks looking to go 29-15 with a win tonight along with an outstanding record of 26-11 during games in which Melo has played and/or led the way.
Heading into this game I've really been amped up, knowing that tonight now becomes the first night/matchup/game in which all of Felton, Kidd, Pablo, J.R, Shumpert, Brewer, Novak, Melo, Stoudemire and Chandler were/are active during the same game.
Knicks by 22+.
Melo goes off for 37+. Stoudemire and Chandler combine for 20+ boards. Felton puts up 8+ assists with under 3 turnovers. Shumpert gets himself at least 2 steals while J.R Smith drops 20+. And we keep these guys under 92 points.
Just feeling really good about our Knicks moving forward.

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman Woodson said over and over tonight Shumpert has to pay more 'attention'' during practices and do more film work to get down schemes.
NYKMentality@ 2/1/2013 7:31 PM
Tonight is another early/mid season must win. We can not lose this game.
MIA @ INDY. CHI @ BKN. PHI vs. SAC. BOS vs. ORL.
Would love to see an INDY win over Miami. Being only 1/2 game behind Miami doesn't sound all that bad. Indy's currently up 20-17 there in the first quarter with 3:47 remaining.
Atlantic division or not, I'm actually pulling for a Nets win tonight. Chicago is way too close for comfort. One NYK slipup before matching us. We're only 1 game up on Chicago and 2.5 games ahead of Brooklyn. Once Rose returns, Chicago could then become red hot. At the end of the night, I'm not a believer in Brooklyn, therefore I wouldn't mind being 2.0 games up on Chicago and 2.5 games up on Brooklyn moving forward.
Not expecting either Philly or Boston to lose tonight. Not against the likes of SAC and Orlando. I'm not even worried about Philly or Boston as of right now.
Due to ATL having an off night, a win tonight puts us 3.5 games ahead of the Hawks with a chance to pretty much bury Milwaukee moving forward.

Woodson is going to mold Shumpert into even more of a warrior. Coach Woodson took to J.R Smith since before the day he told em to pull his shorts up. With Shumpert? It will be no different. Woodson's going to bring the most out of our young up and coming 2G.

What a night of NBA basketball. Got the Knicks on the flat screen while getting ready to start switching (scoreboard watch) from both the Miami/Indy and Chicago/Brooklyn matchups. Won't miss a single play of our Knicks game, but when it's commercial? It's time to scoreboard watch.
A Knicks win, Miami loss and Chicago loss would make for a great night of Knicks basketball.
ramtour420@ 2/1/2013 7:38 PM
Iliasova shooting like 66% from the three land in last 4 or was it 5 games

Noah, Boozer & Hinrich out for the Bulls. Bet they still beat the Nyets. Should be entertainly to watch the Nyets suffer

Brooklyn win is better than a Chicago loss?
NYKMentality@ 2/1/2013 7:41 PM
Guys, dating back to day one of the offseason...
TONIGHT IS THE DEEPEST WE'VE BEEN AS A TEAM.
OGkush121@ 2/1/2013 7:44 PM
Let's go Melo, Let's go Knicks!

I'm pulling for a Bulls loss. As of right now we're 2 1/2 ahead of the Nets but only 1.0 ahead of the Bulls.
I want more than the Atlantic Division, I want the entire Eastern Conference. The Bulls are more of a threat for the number one seed when compared to the Nets. Therefore I'm pulling for a Chicago loss tonight.
And a 3 pointer from MELO!!!!

The Pacers seem to be ready for a slug fest against Miami. Up 10 there in the early 2nd. I just love to see teams not roll over for Miami while getting steamrolled before the start of the 2nd half. Indy's not backing down tonight.
