No idea what our Line up will be- as of now here is the injury report:

Camby- hurt leg or something during the Laker game, seems to be okay
Sheed- out with mysterious foot injury
Shump- Rehabbing
Amar'e- out whilst trying to get 100% (newsflash- you can try getting to 100% by playing limited minutes in actual games rather than sitting in the locker room waiting for practice days that never come)
Felton- 2 bone bruised hands and a sprained pinky, has said he may sit out
Novak- said he blacked out in the Lakers game. Maybe he has a concussion, but he doesn't think so.
Melo- thinks he hyper extended his knee in the Lakers game. Played a lot of minutes too. Not a good combination for this game.
Brewer- playing as though he has a bone bruise on every bone in his body

As bad as the Suns are, we are banged up, tired and in terrible shape. We have 2 games until a 3 game break (finally- haven't had consecutive games off since 3rd December, before that it was November 10th/11th/12th), then maybe Amar'e gets back.

Unless Cope, Prigs and White give us huge games, we're heading for an ugly loss. Hope we can dig deep and get these next two wins, but it's going to be tough.

i think we will win. phx is no pushover but they also dont have a lot of firepower either. hopefully felton sits out a few days so we can get better ball movement

Not expecting a win.

Players are banged and no one is defending or shooting well.

It's amazing how our players production outside of Melo and JR has completely collapsed lately. We need some rest.

Felton, more than anyone outside of Brewer maybe, needs to sit this one out.

His shooting is really killing the Knicks lately.

But then Kidd has to play more minutes, when we really need to be scaling his playing time back to keep him reasonably fresh.

Doubt Pablo can go for 30 plus.

Funny thing is ... Felton was always an awful shooter.

I think Woodson is trying to win every game.

Besides Pablo and Copeland, Woodson really needs to get White in there as well.

A little worried about this game. Drag if can play and might give our 3 headed pg monster more than they can handle. Need to keep the suns off the boards and guards need to he back in transition.

Apparently White was asked to participate in the dunk contest. It would be nice to see him participate in a game. Knicks need to play Camby, Pablo, Cope and Kurt tonight. Back to backs on the road are great times to use your depth. REally hope Felton sits this one out.

im hoping its not the case of the coaches thinking the alternatives to an injured felton are worse.

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

White will win th dunk contest if he is in it. Would be fun to watch him and Gerald green have a rematch.

Knicks need this win. The return of another somber one to this board has coincided with the 2-3 streak.
