Melo really played his hand badly. If the Knicks win now, it's what he was supposed to do, it will still be Lin's team. If the Knick's lose, they can't win without Lin and it's Anthony's fault.
Fortunately, I think most fans are smarter than that.
My expectations are low (though I think we can win any game) tonight without JJ, STAT and Lin. I also have the feeling that Howard will destroy us. He will probably see alot of JORTS on his tonight.
This is not a good matchup toninight.
You are right...it was a terrible matchup for the Magic! LOL!
