About 4 games ago I had an inkling that the Knicks maybe would start having close games and because of the winning streak haven't changed my LOSS selection to a WIN selection on account of being superstitious. I'm sticking with my pick of LOSS and hope they keep winning.... no points for me, and I'm lovin' it!

LOL! I was going to post something like this because it has been happening to me too. I got so down with the Knicks that I had every game ending as a loss, and then they started winning again. Now, I just don't want to change that even though IM loving every win. I rather see them win that get those points. I wasn't even in the running anyway...

picking the Knicks to win 6-10 last night is nuts. I had a 7 game streak of my own broken last night. I had them losing close, but I also had them winning the next 4. I think tonight is an even bigger test. Beating 2 elite teams b2b would be killer, especially with the soft games coming up after that

this is where we need our depth to step up.

the problem? dallas can almost match our bench point for point.

I like the Dal matchup. I had the Knicks losing 1-5 vs. Cle but winning 1-5 against Dal and I may up that.

I think we beat them up inside. Josh Howard is great but Marquis, Harris, Terry.. all are below average defenders which means Craw/Nate/Marbury will be operating in the paint. When they do that our bigs get easy buckets, and most teams in the league cant match up with the size and girth we throw out there for 48 minutes.

Curry, AD, Lee followed by Frye and Mo T is a big strong rotation. Dampier's gonna have a LONG night I hope. Especially if our guards are penetrating.

Let Dirk have his 40, stop the other guys, own the glass, attack the paint. Thats the plan baby

oh man the Cleveland game was such an easy one to pick! Without their 2nd leading scorer in Hughes and the way the Knicks are playing now, I know everyone has grown so used to disappointment the last 5yrs but we are actually turning the corner this time. Larry Brown is the man!

I certainly hope no one's changed their underwear since the Phoenix game. Right? Guys? C'mon no one's letting down their guard here are they!?!?

I don't mind if Dirk has a big game either. It spells disaster, in terms of guarding him, b/c Frye still gets confused guarding those elusive perimeter players and Davis just can't guard him. However, the guy I am really worried about is Josh Howard. If Q can guard him like he guarded LeBron yesterday then that will be key. Howard takes bad shots still, so if we can get him to take those low percentage shots, then we're in business. Our guards have their hands full on defense though with Terry, Harris and Daniels.
