GO KNICKS!

Knicks shoud win this one. It will either be:

A. A blowout
B. Knicks squander huge lead and lose
C. Knicks come from behind the win
D. Knicks take lead the whole game and capitalize in the end.

So the Knicks have a 25 percent chance of winning, but since the Hawks are a so-so team, their possibility of winning against the Hawks are much higher....Seriously.... 50/50. Any team can win on any night no matter how bad.

GO KNICKS!

Nazr has been huge in the last seven days averaging 20 points. I think we should keep him and KT until a great trade arises. But they are playing amazing right now. KT is the type of veteran player this team needs, with a consistant jumper from 15 feet away. He's not huge, but he is an underdog type player. At TCU he averaged 30 PPG I believe. He will have a lot of value at the trading deadline, believe me....

There you all go again. This team is not good enough to even fathom that we can beat a bad team. I am sure that Isiah, Lenny and all of our leaders will stress that come game time tonight.

go in the game with an open mind. Stop thinking about winning or losing. Good things will happen, our boys just have to stay on the attack mode all night. Marburry is starting to realize that he has to dish at least 11 apg for the team to be successful. Look for him to go in and do his things. Nazr will try to show Atlanta once again that they made a mistake by trading him, and TT will also have a decent game again. If Crawf scores 22, Marb 18, TT 17, Nazr 15, Kurt 15/10, we will be just fine at the end of the game. Our boys will have to make an effort to get to the foul lines tonight.

a loss tonight would be dissapointing especially with two tough home games coming up. it would definitely be a step backwards.

Nazy should look to dominate this game and every game we play against the hawks.

you kidding me? Its all about results.. winning and losing is all that counts. If you want to be a good team, not even a great team, just a good team you have to beat the teams your expected to beat. I'm sorry, but the Knicks and their 100mm payroll simply have to win games like this. The way the Knicks are going to have a decent year is to play .750 ball against the Bobcats, Hawks, Nets, GS, Chi, Mil abd NO. In those 24-22 games Knicks need to go something like 18-6, because they are lucky to play .500 against the rest of the league.

It has nothing to do with payroll in my mind, but I agree with everything else you said. (I couldn't care less about the payroll since we're not trying to get under the cap.)

I don't know about Harrington and Walker being superstars (that's all subject anyway), but I agree with taking every team seriously (which I don't see NY doing this game). But Atlanta has been playing god-awful all season ...

Let's just not expect too much from this team as fans, because the minute that we do, we get slap in the face. Approach every game as if we will just do an ok job, and the result will not be too shocking if we win or lose. That is my approach from now on.

if they lose to the hawks tonight, then there is no difference between this team and the chaney/layden teams of the past 3 years. no over confidence here. atlanta stinks, plain and simple. we're a better team, plain and simple. there is no excuse for a loss tonight.

we actually need to get a couple of games over .500 during this stretch b/c the next 14 games after that are muy tougho (that's spanish for very tough)

If the Knicks manage to lose this game, it'd be a hell of an accomplishment!
