One of the bad things about Madison Square Garden being our home court is that all other players love playing there and turn their games up when they play at the Garden so we always have to be at our best when we're at home. Lets also not forget that it's the place that Steph and Dell wanted to play. They were hoping that we would draft him cause they wanted him in New York and playing for MDA.
Does anyone thing that Thumpo was brought up on the 10 day contract specifically for this game?? He's all about defense but i really doubt he'll even see much time unless it's a blowout.

No. I think he might be up as a practice player. I also think he is being rewarded for being loyal to the team. He played in Westchester last year when he could have gone overseas. He wanted to do what gave him the best chance to be a Knick. There is something honorable about that and I think the Knicks are doing right by him. I don't know if he is an nba player though. Hopefully this is a move like Lance Thomas where the Knick staff was a much better judge of talent/character than fans/media and found a guy that would put in the work to be better. He would need to improve a lot though.

Fatigue
A little bit of fatigue and the Knicks playing their best ball. It's possible.

This dude is zig zagging and shooting lights out against the entire league, what the heck is galloway going to do
yeah i know, curry on another level right now but i remember last season seeing flashes of galloway disrupting his shooting. So i'm sure he's stuyding him. Fish better not put Calderon on curry.
Anyway, i have faith that galloway is gonna defend curry very well. He does a good job of staying with his man and disrupting their shots with his gorilla like arms. Plus, he protects the ball better than curry who can be turnover prone sometimes. I'm looking for galloway to seize the opportunity
I doubt curry will scoring 30+ and have his with way galloway. I'll give him about 25
Galloway is my dude 
the Chef Curry stopper. ok, maybe i'm too optimistic
Langston Galloway has boosted the Knicks with clutch transition defense

These Langston Galloway defensive tracking numbers are kinda nuts

I won't be surprised if lance is guarding curry at times too
And GS beats Phili with a 3 pointer with .2 seconds left, lol...
I said this in another thread - I would almost try playing a zone defense with some full court press & trap - anything that might throw them off their game.
Halftime: Knicks 62, GSW 48
Final: Knicks 104, GSW 112
Porzingis: 12pt, 11 reb
Melo: 28pt, 2 ast, 4 reb
Curry: 42, 6 ast, 3 reb
Greene: 8pts, 12 ast, 11 reb

I hope you are wrong,
we can win if KP and Melo have 30+ point each, but most important KP and Rolo should block every Warrior for 2 times to broke their spirit
This is the last game this season where I will accept a moral victory. If they can compete and play hard but lose, I'm okay with it. It'd be real nice to win tonight.
If the Knicks beat GS, Briggs will never let us hear the end of it.
While I know there isn't anyone that can guard Curry, our guards, except for Galloway, are horrible defenders. GS in addition to being the best team in the league, is a horrible matchup for us.
Dream = Knicks 114 GS 108 (KP 24 pts, 14 rb, 5 blk, 4 ast / Melo 29 pts, 6 rb, 6 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk / DWill 15 pts, 6 rb, 8-10 FT / Gallo 12 pts, 3-3 3FG / Rolo 9 pts, 10 rb, 3 blks)
Realistic (My Official Prediction) = Knicks 105 GS 118 (Knicks cut it to 13 in garbage time after being down by as much as 31 in the third quarter.)
Perfectly plausible, would not be surprised = Knicks 93 GS 122

If we can play like we were playing before melo stepped on the refs foot then this will be a good game and we have a shot at winning. Calderon is out tonight and Gallo is starting again.

See i don't think the way we'll win is if Melo and KP go off cause they'll have their good games, we can win if the rest of the team plays well. We need DW and AA and LT and Gallo and Rolo and........................i think you get it.
And we need to stay out of foul trouble....that means you KP6
Thanasis can be useful tonight if we need someone to guard Green.

I think we'll see KP, Melo and LT guarding Dray depending who's on the court.

I'd sick Thanasis on Klay Thompson. Important to shut the guy down, too. Let Steph beat you, shut down everyone else you can.
