Record starting the road trip: 0-3
@Portland - Knicks win this. I think Darius has a pretty good game for the Blazers but other then that the Knicks are desperate for a win and have matchup advantages in alot of areas. Knicks win this by 7 Record
1-3@Golden State - Knicks played them tough on Sunday and the game could have gone either way. Knicks are looking for retribution but Golden State is just coming back from a road trip and their going to be energized to play at home
1-4@Sacramento - Knicks take this but its more of a anti-Kings pick then anything else, they are coming off back to back games against Denver coming into this game and it might take a little something out of them. Thats right Knicks
2-4 now.
@Utah - Tough call here. Utah is coming home after a 4 game road trip but also have Sacramento and Phoenix following this game. I think they overlook the Knicks and the Knicks take it. Record
3-4@LA Lakers - Probably the best game on the roadtrip in my eyes. Larry vs Phil. Marbury vs Kobe. Briggs boy vs riding the pine.
just kidding. I think Frye shines in guarding Odom but the Lakers are a better team and Kobe abuses us since we have absolutely no one to guard him. Ariza will take his shots and do a good job but Kobe is Kobe and he'll take this game. Record
3-5@Denver - After a tough loss to the Lakers I think the Knicks are just looking to go home and get run over by the Nuggets. I think Frye vs Camby will be a really interesting matchup, along with Curry/Kenyon. Nuggets have too much firepower and win this by 10+ Record
3-6I think if the Knicks somehow muster a 3-3 roadtrip that they are going to come back to the garden highly energized. They have 2 games at home against Portland and Charlotte that they SHOULD win and could actually end up 5-6 and flying. Just my 2 cents.
