The Bobcats are not as bad as people seem to think. This game is certainly not a gimme win for NY. It will be a defensive battle-- NY is #3 in defensive efficiency and Char is #10; meanwhile NY is #30 in offensive efficiency and Char is #21.

Note that Charlotte actually plays pretty good D. Surprisingly, they're not that good at holding down opponent eFG% or offensive rebounds (ranking #24 in both). Where they really excel and get their defensive output from is forcing TOs, where they rank #1 in the NBA right now. Meanwhile, the Knicks are #30 in the NBA at keeping down their own TOs. Our biggest offensive weakness coincides with Charlotte's biggest defensive strength, so it's going to be tough. However, when we're not turning the ball over, we should be able to get a lot of opportunities off of offensive rebounds; we're currently #5 in oreb% and Charlotte is only #24 in keeping opponents off the glass.

If we win this game it will probably be thanks to a good defensive effort. However, Charlotte is not as bad on offense as you might think, if current rankings are any indication. They're not great, but at #21 in offensive efficiency they rank ahead of 9 other NBA teams.

Bottom line-- Knicks #30 in offense and #3 in defense; Charlotte #21 in offense and #10 in defense. Is it a gimme win? No way. A game we should win? Yes, probably, but if we lose it will not mean that we suck or that it's the end of the world.

well, curry is not playing so frye might get the start...which means he may also get into quick foul trouble.

we're gonna play small ball so expect steph and jc to go for theirs. this is a scary game for us b/c it's a game we COULD lose.

Brezec and emeka make for a big front line. They also are starting our old friend Matt Carrol!

Gerald Wallace plays little defense and does not like to rebound.

Sean May has been mixed. I saw just one game so far and he was awful against San Antonio.

Emeka has gotten large and hopefully his back is solid now. Ely is all offense and runs the floor well now. Point with Brevin Knight until Ray Felton takes over is ok too. They play a good team game.

News flash! Kareem Rush is starting and playing well. He had 30 plus the other night.

Gerald's game is defense. How many blocks at the rim does he need for you to see he plays defense? He's been hurt but if he plays the dude can be the man. He was showing some improved offensive skill before he got the chip fracture in his hand. He could play.......I hope he doesn't!

Sean May is taking Brezec's minutes.

Felton has also been playing great basketball with Brevin out.

I think the Knicks advantage in the back court will be somewhat matched this time around.

I'm telling you......put the beer on Ice now bro this will be good.

Yo.. that headband that Starbury is wearing, really makes his head look dumb big. I mean like, we all know that Steph's head is big anyway.. but tonight.. In pre-game warmups it looks enormous.


Anyway, I hope it helps him play well. Maybe we can win tonight!
