The Journal News is reporting that Othella is taking the game off for personal reasons... best news I've heard all day. Hopefully Sweets will have a breakout game at drop 20 and 10 on them...
Let it be known: I believe in the Knicks this year-- deep into the playoffs, I swear to you my brothers...

Everybody is a knick fan, just because you don't like a player on the Kncicks, or the trade, does not make you any less of a fan. I hated every single player Layden brought in, (aka Houston, Fatspoon, Shanderson, Eisly, etc.). I hated the coach and the GM. But I never hated the team. Thats what its all about. The logo, everything else can and must be questioned.

very smooth, very smooth.

Oh, Houstan was bought in by checketts/Grunfeld.

Smooth, very smooth.

Hopefully Sweetney steps up so that Othella never takes away his minutes again. I don't know why Othella plays over him. Sweetney is showing great potential. We all know what othella harrington can do. He's only valuable as insurance off the bench, incase someone gets hurt.

Houston was signed by Layden to that awful contract, so I consider him Layden's man. Even thou if you look at how we operate, meaning that we don't care about the cap, it does not really matter if a guy is getting 100 mil or 2 mil on his deal.

As for the game, I think we should win this one and in a dominant manner, Houston is due for a good game, his timing should be back.
Sweetney might have a breakout game w/ Deke and OH out. Marbury seems to be at a beginning of a new hot streak. TT and Nazr looked good the past game, too. Remember the Raps have no frontline.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

you sure Ernie Tapscott wasn't the one who signed Houston?

I'm almost a 100% positive. Tapscott only did one thing, he drafted Weiss, then he was fired and Layden was hired.

yeah that what I thought. I was arguing with my friend about this and he convinced me it was Tapscott but now I remember Layden signing Houston to that deal right around the time they traded Ewing.

I'm worried about this game because it is a road game and we are 10-20 on the road. I really hope this current Knick team becomes a good road team like they used to be.

yes unfortunately

I wonder if there's a place I can go to see this game. I wonder if the some local bar or T.G.I.F. will be showing it?

if this was last season I wouldn't care but every game is meaningful now.

Speaking of the fan I will listen on toronto 590 the fan, where is canadianknick fan?
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I'm still hoping they show the game on MSG. Last time it was suppose to be on Metro, they made a last minute decision to put the Knicks on MSG and the Rangers on Metro because the Knicks are good again.

What game they do that for?

Dammit Rangers are on MSG!

I don't remember exactly what game it was. It was against a bad team. Maybe when they played the Warriors at the Garden and won.

Frank Williams also out with personal problems. Shandon Anderson will play despite migraines.

Wait I'm totally confused since I'm not able to watch only follow along at NBA.com and Listen on radio.

Did both Houston and Shandon start? and Tim Thomas started at PF and KT at center? What's going on? What was the starting lineup?
