What a great game that went down to the wire. I was hoping for overtime, but it still helps that it was a tough game for 48 mins.

We're catching the Suns on the second night of a back to back and they're traveling in from Dallas. We got pretty lucky that we got Detroit the night after a tough battle with the Nets and now we're getting a tired Suns team tomorrow night.

This is a very winnable game. Jefferies is a good matchup on Marion. Marbury needs to continue playing solid d against Nash, Crawford can stick with Bell and is quick enough to guard Barbosa. The only guy we don't have a match for is Amare and I think Lee may be the best matchup against him. Frye and Curry don't have the lateral quickness. Curry needs to go to work on offense because they have nobody who can put a body on him.

Marbs can't guard Nash, Curry could have a good game as I don't see Amare stopping him. Amare will have a good game because Curry doesn't play defense, I see Curry getting into foul trouble. Tough matchup with Amare and Nash, Marion can be hit or miss, Bell shows up once in a while. Knicks usually play them tough, it should be a good game but hard to predict!!

you know if curry starts off early posting and leaning on amare we could actually put amare in foul trouble. in a similar situation like curry did to wallace in det. i was watching the game and it seems like amare can get caught in the air on a pump fake. after that we feed curry every time down and get the front line in foul trouble. i might be hoping or relying on curry for to much but its not a bad thought process.

Curry just needs to box out on the defensive end!

Detroit killed us on the O glass and Amare is just a lot better than Nazr and Dice! Not to mention Marion flying in!

Just take up space big guy!
