Likewise.

The 76ers will be a decent team this year, but they'll take some lumps during Bynum's absence.

These games versus division rivals matter that much more, and for the Knicks to get 2 early wins against a team that is predicted to challenge for the Atlantic division title, that's big.

Along with Bynum still being out, J-Rich is also officially out for this game (Ankle sprain).

Let's see what adjustments that Doug Collins and his crew have in store for us.

I'm confident that Woody and the team will be ready to pick up where they left off yesterday.

I will say, be very careful of of the moustached-and-mulleted center of theirs (forgotten his name since yesterday), he is capable of putting up big numbers if you don't take him seriously. Same with Nick Young. We didn't see the best of the Sixers yesterday, and they will be out for revenge, so hopefully we wont take this game lightly.

Split and the world does not come to an end. Back to practice and back to team building until Friday.

A loss wouldn't be the end of the world, but a win would keep us all feeling happy for the rest of the working week- a very unusual occurance for Knick fans...

It also solidifies Melos emergence as a true leader for the team. There is a lot riding on this game. Sure if we lose its not the end if the world, but if we want to be winners we need to take this game and I believe we will.

Well, Bynum definitely makes a huge difference but the Knicks don't have Amar'e so it all evens out in my mind. As for Richardson, he is not really a difference maker, imo.
