Degree_Absolute:
The Sixers have been a tough out for the Knicks these last few years.Brand always kills us.That said, I am excited to watch these new Knicks continue their commitment on D.Expect DWTDD to make an appearance.

Until he starts playing better, he’s officially “DWTCD” – Do what Toney’s Capable of Doing, as the man said himself: http://www.postingandtoasting.com/2012/1/9/2693830/once-i-get-my-rhythm-ill-be-fine-douglas-said-nothing-changes-for-me

danvt: I think the Knicks would rather be on the road.Less pressure.

With the emergence of Shumpert, the Knicks have four players playing well consistently right now.The Sixers have more talent, that is, more NBA rotation ready players.

We may not be ready but I don’t really fear the Sixers.That’s a good feeling.We actually do have a good chance against what has become a top team in basketball.With Chandler we can just go out and guard man to man.In the old days, Lee got eaten alive by the likes of Bogut and Dalembert.

Carmelo, Shump Shump, Chandler and ? The guy who was 7-25 from the field and got lit up by the guy who ate Boris Diaw last game?

Shump saw it on Twitter and LOLd. Pretty hard it seemed like.

Count Zero: But the Knicks have more talent IMO.

Z:
As long as SHUMP SHUMP kicks off the thread, I see the Knicks taking this one.

this is the key, no exclamation points.

I do think Philly is somewhat for real, in that their team is pretty young and they have the same eight man rotation as last year, both things that will serve them very well this year. a good test for our boys, who haven’t really played a quality team yet (even the Lakers were missing Bynum).

d-mar: Have you thought about changing your name?

:) Touche, douche. I wish i could do the accent on the “e”..it should really sound like ‘touchay, douchay’. Anyway, i think we are the better team, i just don’t think we’re ready to face a hot team like that with a home crowd that’s so on the fence about how they feel about the team. Further, combining our well-documented switching fetish with a team who’s offense is based on sequential pick/roll….you get the idea. We have talent to win…and if we do i won’t be surprised…that’s as much optiknism i can offer for tonight. And im not changing my name :)
