I really want us to win tonight. However, we MUST GUARD BABY AL AND DAVID LEE! Shut Lee Down.

Huge game, teams are 2-2 this year head to head, tie breaker on the line. If the Pacers win they will move into the 11th spot, which is pretty big too.

Chandler and Nate off the bench scare me the most.

I bet Obie goes small and doesn't start Hibbert because they start Jeffries at the Center. Instead of turning Roy loose, they'll play small ball again and let NY dictate matchups.

Roy started the last time we played in NYC.

Like that would matter when we play the Knicks. I wouldn't be surprised if Baston plays more minutes at the Center spot this game then Hibbert does and I can't wait to see the Diener/Ford/Jack/Marquis/Murphy lineup

Playing against the D'Antoni's Small ball lineup is just another excuse for JO'B to go Small ball...where we play down to the Knicks instead of forcing them to play up to ours.

Does anyone know if Foster is playing?

Re: 02/23/2009 Game Thread #59: Pacers at Knicks

Roy started the last time we played in NYC.

I vaguely remember that, I think they had him on Lee. I also think he went out early and I can't even remember if he came back. Last game against the Knicks he played 3:24, he had two fouls, one point, and 1 blocked shot. Didn't start.

Game before that, he started and played 11:22.
10 pts
4 rebs
2 Blocked shots
2 fouls

Tough matchup tonight. Harrington has been looking good lately.

This is what I fear. Burying Hibbert always hurts more than it helps. Alot of close games we've lost we could have used him out there at the end dominating the paint while the other team is running small getting easy layups.

It makes me wonder...since Steve and Barry's went out of business, who is selling Starbury shoes? Well, the Starbury website is now!

Wow, what a team. Two of it's players both have their own line of shoes and apparel.
