After they way SA lost to the Bucks last night, they are gonna come in here with a vengeance. Knicks better be on point and be hitting their shots tonight. They better play some damn D tonight too. If we leave cats open like we did in the Heat game, we're gonna get blown out. Bad. 
BTW, I bet Shandon won't play or be there tonight again. They gotta trade him.
get blown out? lol, dude, they were on a four and three game loosing streak, as you mentioned they come off of the loss to the bucks, they had also loss to the hawks some games before that. you really think we could get blown out by that team? be a believer, when now, we face the deffending world champions. i know you are a true knicks fan, so you should be saying something like, "san antonio better watch out, because we are really angry about the way we lost to the heat, plus we are at home, loose two in a row with this current knicks team at home, i don't think so!" (no disrespect)the spurs are good deffensively, and in my mind, they are a true definition of a team, but i still think they are the type of team we should beat inorder to find out where this team really is at this point of the season. i take the knicks by less that 8 pts.

I am taking a few things into consideration:
- Allan Houston is hurt. His knee didn't magically get better. Him being out on the floor in the Miami game hurt us as much as him not being there at all.
- Duncan is the best PF in the league. IMO KT can't/won't contain him. Our team D will have to be turned up 110% tonight.
- The rampant giving up of open shots MUST stop. It was bad enough against a ragtag team like Miami. Playing sloppy D against SA will be a painful sight to see.
I still have faith, bruh. 
Re-read what I said. I just stated what we can and cannot do in order to win the game. Hitting our shouts, and playing some real D are of the utmost importance tonight.
If we do those things, we can win. If not, we lose. Straight like that.
dude, the spurs aren't built(although they have done it certain times this season just like the knicks) to over power teams, they are built to play tough deffense, grind it out any which way possible(similar to van gundy's ways but that method causes you too loose sometimes also just like miami over the rockets, bucks over the spurs) which your knowledge of the game should tell you means, their offense will struggle at some point in the game if not the whole game(i might add). yes, it has happened to the deffending champions this year. lol duncan is a great player but that doesn't mean, with the proper gameplan, the proper deffense, he can't be contained, if he does kick it out, its not like the spurs are full of great "shooters"(check out the fg percentages).
i'm not saying that the spurs aren't a great team, but at the same time, i'm not saying they can't be beaten by a team like ours either. yea we have lost to the rockets(team similar to the spurs) twice, but most of that was because of marbury's struggles, which you would realize if you watched every pocession closely. you telling me, marbury our "franchise player" isn't smart enough or good enough to play as hard as he possiblly can, get his teammates fired up enough to have a break out game against a great team(the knicks haven't really beaten the great teams for us to even be thinking about calling them a legitemate contender in the east. yea yea. look at the teams i the eastern conference, lol i know i know) you telling me that a four point performace doesn't mean anything to marbury. he fire and desire should alone lead the knicks to the victory, let alone their bad loss to the heat.
as for houston, even if he does turn out to be a non-factor(which i think can happen because a guy like bruce gives him the hebbie jeebies), marbury, van horn, penny, crazy eyes, mutombo, even doeleac, frank should turn it up and lead this team to a much needed victory(yea yea, a long way to go, lol), this is the type of game the knicks should win at home for us as fans to even think about them being a legitimate contender in the east. plain and simple.
i am shocked by your doubts, the knicks should be able to win this game!
you are very optimistic about the weed trade and even positively think it will happen with him coming to new york, i don't get how you can not say "the knicks should win this game" plain and simple. maybe you are just seeing it as a game against the deffending champions, or maybe you just haven't seen the spurs enough, whatever it is, you doubts are over done.
i am not saying the knicks will definatly win, but at the same time, i am putting all of my marbels on a knicks win, my faith is with the knicks, not with the "great" spurs.
