Game Thread: Knicks vs. Blazers- 12/2/08

So I'm missing out on the FreeDarko event at Vassar and hanging at home for the Knicks-Blazers tilt instead. This game scares me right to my core. Not only are the T-Zers (Timberwolves, T-Wolves, Trailblazers, T-Zers) 12-6, but they've got just the weaponry to make the Knicks look like your run-of-the-mill JCC Junior Maccabi roster. Portland's got TWO terrifying 7-footers in Oden and Aldridge to feast upon New York's napoleonic front line, and Joel "Ghostface" Przybilla to boot. Meanwhile, Brandon Roy is too big and too talented for Duhon and Roberson, probably the only semblance of a backcourt the Knicks will have to offer in the post-groin , post-heart, post-Marbury world.
If the Knicks have any shot in this one, it'll be pushing the ball faster than they ever have before and getting the Blazer big men in foul trouble. I fear that Nate McMillan's too wise a coach to let the fast pace affect his team, though, and I'll be padding my walls and strapping on my helmet in anticipation of a blowout loss. Going into a road-heavy and difficult stretch of games, though, tonight's game is a big one.
Anyway, uh...let's go Knicks! Go get 'em!
Head over to Blazers Edge to check out what our West Coast friends are saying about tonight's matchup.

Gonna be an entertaining game, not so entertaining morning ride to work.
Go Blazers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Hey.
Blazer fan checking in. This game scares me because of their pace… we played poorly at Golden State because they ran it down their throats.
On another note, how many assists would Sergio Rodriguez average for the Knicks? Fifteen? Seventeen? If Duhon can get 22 in a game, Sergio would go mad in that kind of a situation. He needs Mike D’Antoni.

roberson’s running the point and the offense has all but stopped. meanwhile, duhon’s got his back wrapped up…

That was nice.
If only that MCA-Run one-on-one game could’ve actually happened.

They interviewed Kevin Boss on the Blazers feed.
Not quite the same thing as Rev Run but not bad. He said he was rooting for the Blazers.
and yea
chinua achebe’s book, which is phenomenal if you haven’t read it, is in fact entirely about malik rose being 100% detrimental to the knicks organization with regard to winning basketball games.
free danilo!

D'ja want Channing Frye back?
Contact Kevin, 1 Center Court, Portland.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
you need a bonafide front court force who can put the ball in the hoop?
but not really anything else…
