Didn't the Knicks dominate Orlando last year ??? Didn't Curry dominate Howard last year ???

Have you seen Howard play this yr ?

Howard can get his but just keep the perimeter guys from hitting 3's. I don't care how quick Howard is, he's still not gonna want any part of Curry this year. Last year he actually was stepping away from Curry in the paint. He's not confident at all against Curry. He knows he can bully all the other C's in the East, but he can't push Curry around and so he tends to back off. Howard is scared of fouling out, so he basically let's Curry score. I say we do like everyone else has said. Play man on Howard and stay with the shooters. Better to give up 2 rather than the open 3.

the addition of rashard lewis and turkoglu on the perimeter will cause one heck of a mismatch. curry should be able to hold his own against howard. interesting to see how jameer will comes out

contain lewis and we should win

If we single cover Howard the Knicks should win this game. Orlando does not have alot of penetrators as Hedo and Lewis are more perimeter shooters. If Marbury and Nate can keep Jameer out of the lane for most of the night, I think our offense will dominate their offense. Like others have said, it will come down to staying with Hedo and Lewis on the perimeter and getting Howard into foul trouble. We can beat this team.

You just touched on something I hadn't given thought. Lewis and Hedo and Garrity play PF for Orlando - and shoot from the outside very well. Will Zach be up to the challenge to keep with them on the perimeter? Will he stay inside leaving them wide open? I figured the initial defensive breakdown by the Knicks would be to double team Lewis leaving the shooters open - but I wonder if guarding the PF position, which is a perimeter position in Orlando - will also be just as deadly to our defense.

Just play smart defense. Man to man. Don't lapse at the PF. And for the love of god, Crawford, please have another smart offensive game. Tonight is not the night to go 2-12. Short leash, Isiah, SHORT LEASH!

Tonight is a fantastic opportunity for David Lee to show progress in his perimeter defense of power forwards and match up with Hedo or Garrity. If Lee can't hang, look for The Mayor to receive his first cameo of the primary season.

Zach will handle his bidness. Once The Garden starts showing him some love, his heart will pound even faster.

Is the Mayor off of Inactive List? I think we will see JJ2 before Bing makes his first appearance.

Martin - The Mayor suited up for the Denver game.

Keep hope alive

I am, I like what I have seen so far, but I also remember not seeing Balk until injuries hit the Knicks last year. And Isiah is gunning for some wins and will probably rely on Q, Balk, JJ2, Rose first at the 3 spot.

Brown got a TON of **** for keeping Lee on the bench his first year, less than Isiah did with Balk. I wonder what the reaction is going to be for the use of Chandler.
