A few things before I get to the preview...
- I realized last night that I have the free trial of NBA League Pass this week. I watched the Nuggets-Sonics game last night, which was amazing. Considering that I never watch Nets games, this may have been the first time that I ever watched a local (not New Jersey local, just local) broadcast of an NBA game without having any emotional stake in the outcome. Watching a mellow, homey broadcast of a contest that doesn't include my Knicks is very therapeutic.
- Kelly Dwyer did a guest post at Free Darko and it's immensely entertaining.
- Did you ever realize that in the Suns' alternate logo (above) the purple flames form a firey bird (presumably a phoenix)? I love Sportslogos.net.
Speaking of the Suns, on to our Game Thread. Those crazy kids from Phoenix come to town tonight, bringing a 14 game win-streak with them. The Suns are, like, exponentially better than the Knicks, so here's hoping our boys (probably without Stephon Marbury) can at least keep this game respectable. I'd like to see the kids actually show up for the game, and look to get into an offensive flow and defensive effort from the outset. Former Knick, Kurt Thomas, is out for Phoenix, so there's really no one to guard Eddy Curry. Let's see what he can do.
Either way, I'm not expecting much, but the Knicks oft surprise in the level of their play. Phoenix is looking to set a franchise-high for consecutive games won, so don't expect them to just fuck around and get it done late. They are a swift, merciless team, and anything less than full effort is gonna be an embarassment in the Garden. Recap coming later. Go Knicks. Peace.
Note: I was really pleased to see a few comments in the last game thread. Let's keep it up. I love to hear what you guys think. Before, during, or after the game (you realize that includes the entire history of the universe?), feel free to share your thoughts, concerns, suggestions, and knock-knock jokes. Do it to it.

I have this strange gut feeling that the Knicks might actually pull this one out (yes go ahead and laugh, call me crazy). But a performance as poor as their last must fire them up a little to play better. It is also time for the Suns to loose. I dunno I suppose we will see in a couple hours.
You forget that Amare Stoudemire is healthy and big. I don't think we'll need Thmoas to guard Curry.
Curry might be a little too bulky for Amare.
Then again Amare's too quick for Curry, so it all balances out. We'll see.

hahahah. you're crazy.
(don't get my damn hopes up!)
My only knock knock joke can't be revealed over the internet. It's too good.
Good luck today, you guys are definitely gonna need it.
