Let's ride the momentum, and hope Indy does the same after their OT loss to Philly last night.

I won't disappoint anyone by not making a prediction...so Knicks win, 88-83

It is going to be tough to beat Indy. They lost 2 straight and are plaing this one at home so you have to believe that they are very motivated. Luckily, we were able to rest our starters a little bit last night, so fatigue shouldn't be a problem in tonight's game.

I'm not gonna talk any crap about how I will be happy if we keep this game close even if we lose. I want to win this game. To be a good team you have to beat good teams. This is going to be a tough road trip, but we still have to go into each game trying for a win.

i have to say i believe we should win the game tonight. indiana went heavy minutes playing OT and is B_B[like us] but only has 8 players dressing. artest and oneal both played near 50 minutes last night. if we are a good team we make no excuses and win the game we should win the game here we have every opportunity to do so. indiana has lost to the clippers [blown away] and the sixers[playing shaky ball] so we should be able to capitalize on our depth+Indiana will be much more tired

Indiana is going to want to win real bad after that loss. I still think the Knicks can win this though. Then lose to the Spurs and dallas and beat Houston and Cleveland.

We have a chance here just because they are missing both Foster/Pollard, Reggie, O'Neal is banged up and playin back to back after heavy minutes, plut Artest has been going nuts latley.

If do win, it wount' be int he 80's. That's not how this team can I win in my opinion. So war we have won by pushing the ball, and playing high scoring games. If we win look for the score to be like 96-86 or something like that.

If we loose, it will be something like 88-82 Indy.

Marbury needs to have a big game, he is rested, as he set out the entire quarter last night. Our bigs need to exploit Croshere playin the 4. Craw needs to exploit Jackson's suspect defense.

Weith all of Indy's injuries our bench is far better.

Like I said, we have a chance, but I would not call this a game we "should" win.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

This is a game we can win, but not a "should" win. The key to this trip is to keep improving on both ends, and to hopefully come home with a better roster.

Doesn't it feel good to not have to wait 2 days between game days? So...next game Tuesday.

Yeah!

About the "should" win, "can" win stuff, I think every game in your season is a should win because you don't know which one will come back to haunt you. Now, the "must" wins are those that you have to win because you are in a precarious situation, and after two wins, thank God, we aren't in that situation. Still, every game is a "should" win no matter who your opponent is. This Knicks team is very different than the last ones. With this one you feel anything is possible because this team has so many weapons, relies so much on their energy and athletism, and when focused they can play very good defense. Post defense? Kurt and Sweetney are doing a great job so far.

I really hope the Knicks can get this one and build even more momentum and play at their best against their next Western Conference foes. I hope thei treat this game, and the next ones, with the same importance and give the same or better effort compared to what they did in winning 2 straight.

GO KNICKS!!

I don't think every game is a "should" win, but every game is a "can" win.
You match the Bobcats up with the Spurs, Timberwolves, or Pistons, and you can't say that they "should" win that game.

Game starts in exactly 12 min. Game time delayed after a problem with one of the shot clocks.

Ok, maybe not. It seemed like it was close to starting on MSG.

Let's hope Artest gets on the wrong bus after the game tonight.
