Game Thread: Knicks vs. Jazz- 11/9/08

07look_medium

The 3-2 Knicks head home this afternoon for Kids Day at the Garden. What's in store for the rugrats? Well, while Mike D'Antoni and his fun-loving Knicks look to frolic and gleefully launch threes, Jerry Sloan's mean, old Jazz would be happiest if the final score was 40-32. Jazz. Boo.

Utah should be without Deron Williams, but its their frontcourt that poses a major problem. Carlos Boozer is an All-Star talent with potent post moves and a Duke education, so, like, he's probably roofied the refs studied a lot of tape to prepare for this one. Meanwhile, Mehmet Okur is a bigtime inside-outside threat who, at 15'2'', is taller than David Lee and Zach Randolph combined. Look out for those matchups, and don't underestimate Ronnie Price's contributions in the backcourt.

Can the Knicks run against the stalwart Jazz defense, or will grump old Sloan give the kids something to yawn about? Tipoff's at 3. Get them W's.

Also, check out the venerable SLC Dunk for the best Utah coverage of today's game.

i don't know!

i also don’t know why wilson chandler is guarding mehmet okur!

by Seth on Nov 9, 2008 3:14 PM EST up reply actions  

we're absolutely stroking it.

zach randolph in transition made me giggle.

by Barnesgasm on Nov 9, 2008 3:23 PM EST reply actions  

Wilson Chandler

continues to amaze me. I still don’t really believe that he can shoot.

by Seth on Nov 9, 2008 3:24 PM EST up reply actions  

he can.

at the least, he’s a better shooter than q.

by Barnesgasm on Nov 9, 2008 3:26 PM EST up reply actions  

umm

that’s three straight possessions where duhon has matched up against kirilenko. that seems questionable.

by Barnesgasm on Nov 9, 2008 3:30 PM EST reply actions  

the small lineup is cute

but making duhon guard kirilenko so that he has to be doubled every time he touches the ball doesn’t make things easier.

i'm absolutely lighting shit up in fantasy football

so much so that i forgot the Knicks had an afternoon game…

shooting 30% right now

how is Utah not up by 25?

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Nov 9, 2008 4:01 PM EST reply actions  

good point.

also, given david lee’s complete inability to hang with carlos boozer, utah should be up by 50.

by Seth on Nov 9, 2008 4:02 PM EST up reply actions  

well down 5 is do-able

and Craw looks hot (in reference to his shooting) so they’ve got a shot.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Nov 9, 2008 4:07 PM EST reply actions  

not a bad half

considering how bad it was

by Seth on Nov 9, 2008 4:09 PM EST reply actions  

truth.

which means more great finds like that crawford-duhon look.

by Seth on Nov 9, 2008 4:36 PM EST up reply actions

like those last two. nice steal by nate.
