Game Thread: Knicks at Grizzlies- 11/12/08

Two questions. 1. Remember Lawrence Moten? I had an autographed Moten rookie card when I was a little one. No big deal. 2. Where did MJ's arm go?
Anyway, the Knicks are in Memphis, not Vancouver, tonight to face the Grizzlies. The Grizz are 2-0 at home and will likely pose a big challenge. O.J. Mayo can score in bunches, and will likely be psyched to show New York what we're missing. Marc Gasol is a 7-foot oso who will give Lee and Randolph a heap of trouble. Rudy Gay and the point guard tandem of Conley and Lowry aren't too shabby either. On the other end, look for Zach Randolph to rebound from his clumsy performance in San Antonio with a big night against the much lighter Darrell Arthur.
The good news is that this will likely be a more open, free-form game than last night's slugfest in San Antonio. Marc Iavaroni is a D'Antoni disciple, and the Grizzlies are sillier and more athletic than Popovich's slave army of defensive stalwarts. The downside is that our guys are playing for the second night in a row. For a squad that plays a tight, nine-man rotation, back-to-backs might be an issue. Then again, I've always heard players dispel the back-to-back myth, since games are easier than practices on the body. Who knows. It'll be interesting to see how the Knicks come out in the first quarter tonight, and if they can maintain the stamina for 48 minutes. Get them W's, dammit. Tipoff's at 8.

i wonder if chandler's a permanent starter
i was hoping lee would play so randolph might match up with arthur, but i guess not.

d’antoni should have never played a game of monopoly for playing time with malik last night. malik always gets to park place first.

i blame that entirely on malik rose.
and a little chris duhon, since he’s the point guard. but mostly malik.

d'antoni = win
So loving the glee when the Knicks get the tiniest things right — the man’s expectations as so, so low.

60-49 at halftime
Given the Knicks’ record when they score 100 points, I guess this bodes well.

seriously, jebus, thanks.
that suns-grizzlies game the other night was heavenly, or whatever adjective you’d use for where jebus is from.
other cool grizzlies: darrell arthur, the as-of-yet-unplayed hamed haddadi.
