Maybe Sweets will get a few minutes and we can all wonder if we are seeing Brand and his younger (out of shape) brother play against each other.

I'm still trying to figure out the reason for sweets and franky playing early on yesturday.

Theyre either being showcased before the deadline, or like clyde said yesturday, they impressed wilkens with the work during the 3 days of practice they had.

I am guessing that practice had a little to do with it and, if I remember the game some, our big guys had fouls and were strapped to the bench. Miami was playing small-ball so Deke was at a disadvantage. Enter Sweets.

We won't know why these guys play(frank- Sweets) until after the trading deadline. stop stressing.

never seen Brand play but very impressed with Boozer's game. If it's contribution per $$$, Boozer hands down.

to me this is a true statement game. this game will tell a lot. we have been the benefactor of playing teams on the B-B. I know we are b-b but we have more recuperation time than a usual b-b because of the day game. the bottom line is we are playing a team with athletes and a real PF, yet are sub-par in the west. a GOOD team should beat the Clippers especially because they are on the end of a long road trip. i still believe that this team needs considerable re-configuration. I am not a proponent of keeping KT long term, but rather would like us to move towards younger players with athletiscm. I think we will see why tonight.

Boozer is good but not even close to being as good as Brand is. I would take Elton Brand over CWebb. I wouldn't take Boozer over CWebb. Atleast not yet. 3 years down the line Boozer might be on the same level as Brand but I doubt it.

Come on man... Brand has no mid-range game... when's the last time you saw him run and shoot?

I'm really worried about this game. The clippers scare the crap out of me and it's the 2nd game of a back to back which always makes me **** my pants, but since I'm an optimist...Knicks 108-99.

Brand better then Boozer by a big margin.
Boozer is good but will be smoked by TD,KG & CWebb.

Brand and Kandi are the two # 1 draft picks of the 90's that have not made the playoffs.....This year Kandi makes it by default and Brand needs to stop hiding out in Lottery Land.

What if Wilcox placed 35 and Boozer placed 7 in the draft...does Duke Boozer still brings his "A" game to the Clipps.

New York should not let LA get in a shoot out similar to Wizards win.......time to go jugular on this one. Oh yeah BABY

Why is KVH playing Defense on Brand? Damm! Brand learned to shoot.
