will be a tough game without Andrew to match up vs NY's size but its a home game and I think we will pull it out.

One positive is that we are catching the Knicks on the 2nd game of a back to back. They have to play at Golden State tonight.

It's a shame we won't have Bynum to keep Chandler occupied. Now he's just going to be roaming back there on defense.
Either Pau has to man up big time and take it to him, or the rest of the team needs to shoot lights out from the perimeter.
Hope our 2nd unit can step up again. The Knicks' bench is pretty weak, especially after Shumpert went down.
MWP's going to have play a lot minutes Thu so I hope he's resting. I don't think Ebanks can handle Melo.

| Chandler thinks he is going to waltz in there and have a field day, but he is going to be crowded, pushed around and beaten down as the game goes on. |

Crap! We're on the tail end of another TNT double-header.

Hmmm, this game can go either way.. The Knicks are a streaky team.. they go hot and cold...We need to totally dominate them and NOT let them get back in the game. Melo can single handedly bring that team back in games. Chandler will give Pau a hard time. McBob and TMurph gonna have to protect Pau. Of course Amare is gonna be free since Bynum is not here... (little pansy boy)....

Pau, in below average mode: 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks per game, 51FG%
Chandler: 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 blocks, 50 FG%
Tyson is a good player. But that´s it. |

Great. We're going to miss the first 8 minutes of the first quarter again, thanks TNT!  |

If it's on TNT, probably not. Yesterday I looked for the game on FSN and couldn't find it, so they must have some sort of exclusive. Sad that it means missing part of the first quarter or so. |

Tough matchup for the starting units without Bynum in the lineup, but our bench is better. If Drew were active for this one we'd have the matchup advantage for all 48 minutes of this game.
This will be interesting, I don't think we pull this one off unless our outside threats step it up. I don't think Gasol and McRoberts can handle Chandler and Stoudemire. I hope they prove me wrong. |

Don't think it will make a big difference. It will only take them 45 minutes to get from the Bay to LA. They'll be well rested.
Pau will have to have a huge game against Chandler.
MWP will have to have a good game.
Kobe has to put up 25.
Ebanks will have to play well. I think it's time for some Barnes.
We have a chance but it's going to take a stellar team effort.

Yeah, that's the flight time, but the periphery stuff takes longer with checking in/out, going to-fro airport, getting to the arena in traffic, all of this after an up-and-down for 48 minutes with the GS Warriors.
Chicago lost their legs on a back-to-back and lost to those guys. Knicks should take care of GSW easily, but when they go from that to a grind it out with the Lakers, it will be interesting to see how well they hold up. |

I think it will. Playing the 2nd game of a back to back on the road is tough.

| I sent off an angry tweet to TNT last night for delaying the Laker game and then...to add insult to injury we missed half of the 1st quarter. |
