starting this thread way early cause I know everyone will be pumped. The Rockets will be pumped, Knicks will be pumped. VG will be guzzling diet cokes. Ewing will have a 5 word quote about how he wants to be a head coach some time and every NY newspaper will make an article out of it.

I'm pumped!

ROFL about VG loving the diet coke. He's gonna drive here from Houston in his 1998 Civic that's sitting on 16's...

ROFL about Ewing and the 5 word quote being turned into an article.

LOL thats funny Sh%t

huge game is right--payback time
i think our d will be better for sure, last time around was a joke.
also now our players will know where to look for the ball from starberry. cheney got a bum rap last time for that melt down im pretty sure..nobody could gel that fast, plus star was hurt. i definately didnt like chaney's overall coaching job or his nice guy persona (ahem wilkins), but that blow out wasnt his fault. anyhow, with plenty of confidence and momentum behind us, this will be a great game, and if we pull it off, LIGHTS OUT BABY

I wonder if Chaney will get a job as an assistant for Jeff or maybe JVG isn't stupid enough.

As long as Wilkens and the Knicks win 55% of the time, they will be fine. I'm confident that they will.

Finally a team with a "FULL ROSTER" that plays smash mouth defense. Wilkens fans go bet the house on this game, we know the playoffs teams all play like this!

This is going to be a real tough test. Rockets play great D, and have tough matchups for us in Yao. Game preparation will be crutial to winning.

I find it really IRONIC that you would describe HOUSTON this way. Afterall they are coached by the guy you love to hate, JVG. In addition, you seem to want NY to lose this game but 2 weeks ago, with Chaney coaching, you wanted NY to win. I just don't get it.

I want NY to win but I know this game is going to be extremly hard to pull out. I am confident we are capable but I do think the Rockets are the favorite to win.

it will be a tough game but if we beat the rockets, then we could possibly go on a 7 game winning streak leading up to the spurs at home next tuesday.

In the last thread about the Penny/Marbury trade I told you guys that we would have a better idea about the this team by the time they meet the Rockets at the end of Jan. Alot of you were hating on Penny. Look for him to have a great game. I think the game will be a very close nailbiter, but we will pull off the win...

I think that if Yao starts out well and continues for the whole game, the Knicks will be in trouble.

The game against the Rockets on WED will show how un atheletic we are in the frontcourt. And this is the position we should have up graded (1st)not the pg position. We already had one.

How can you say we should have upgraded the frontcourt first? All great teams have a great PG. Marbury is a huge upgrade over Frank Williams. Granted, we do need an upgrade on the frontcourt, the PG was our weakest spot, and we got a superstar that's only 26!

Marbury will get the better of the PG battle this time.

Thomas made Atlanta an offer for Rahim, that did not work out. The only other bigman on the block is Wallace. Would you rather get Wallace then Marbury? I hope not. I hope Thomas finds a way get a lowpost scoring PF in here, but I dout that is possible. That is why this year we will not go past the 2nd round, conference finals being a strech. But you know what I'll take it. You have to improve gradually, offseason will bring us the PF of desrie, one way or anthoer. Maybe Sweetney develops. Maybe we trade for somebody then. Maybe we work a sign and trade with Kurt. I don't know, but I really really dout anything is gonna happen how. Thomas will try and most likley make another deal, but it would be a secondary player like Miles or Swift, not a starter at the PF position.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?
