Orlando Magic at New York Knicks, Nov 29, 2009 6:00 PM EST
Greetings, children. It's time for another party on the hardwood with everybody's favorite 3-13 basketball team. The Knicks are at home for an early evening match-up with the Orlando Magic. The Magic have just about every weapon necessary to hurt the Knicks. They've got a top-notch defense, superb shooters (including a couple of serial Knick-killers in Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter), and Dwight Howard, who eats Knick "big men" for breakfast. With Eddy Curry hurting and the Milicic/Hill tandem chained to the bench, expect Howard to grind some bones to make his bread at the Garden tonight.
I don't know why I keep implying that Dwight Howard is a cannibal, but the point is that he's larger and more talented than any frontcourt Knick. This will be a problem. Expect a bloodbath.
Come join in for some profanity-laced fun in the comments section and don't forget to check out Third Quarter Collapse for some of the most magical basketball analysis on the internet, and I mean that completely without pun.

might not be a good idea while driving
especially since it’s the knicks

gallo left the corner three or four times, if that,
in 6 minutes on the floor. no shots.
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
yup
probably thought he was an audience member
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
you'd think
that the ball hogging / jacking up 3’s all the time disease would have rubbed off on him by now
guess it’s not contagious
by Frederic Weis on Nov 29, 2009 6:35 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
he knows as soon as he makes a mistake Al will replace him; I guess he figures playing 5 minutes and doing nothing is worth more than 2 minutes with a shot?

Duhon is the future of the franchise
oh wait..
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 6:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
thats funny because
because if steve francis still played he’d be doing about 23% shooting and making bad decisions all game.
future of the franchise indeed.

During the playoffs last year my friend pointed out that
Stan Van Gundy looks like Paul Bearer from the WWF (When it still was WWF)
It still cracks me up even though he seems lighter in weight and mustache scruffiness this year
by Frederic Weis on Nov 29, 2009 6:42 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
i keep hoping
that one day Stan will break out the Paul bearer voice but alas!
“My maaaaaaaaaaaagic……….”

gallo manages to block a taller player from behind
lee can’t even bother to contest his second effort
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
say what you want about Gallo but I’d rather have him defending the paint than Lee.
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 6:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
but, to be fair,
i’m 7’3’’ and senegalese
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
isn’t that enough to get you drafted in the first round?
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
well i have a 4'9'' wingspan
i’m also a t-rex
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
looks like a better shot blocker than Lee
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 7:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah
but rebounds make him sneeze

chandler reminds me
of a younger, better al harrington. with more court vision…and athleticism…and potential
by Ray Smuckles on Nov 29, 2009 6:50 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
one has just been benched for the other
can you guess who is who?

I like the Orlando announcers
No Clyde always hurts, but the Orlando guys seem to actually respect the opposition, even if the opposition is the Knicks.
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 6:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
see danilo?
if you move a little closer to the ball, people can pass to you.
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 6:57 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
lee should be benched during this timeout
send a message.
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 7:05 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
only Gallo and Toney get sent that kind of message
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 7:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Gallo currently has more blocks than the rest of the team combined
Of course he did when he only has 1, but yeah.
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 7:06 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
both of those
really athletic blocks from behind because he had absolutely no help
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 7:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We've recently been throwing the game away in 3rd
Time to break the cycle?

Hughes is in awful chuck mode
Can’t we play Toney?

I love Pietrus but Clyde just made me really glad we don’t have him because then I don’t have to hear ‘the man from Guadalupe with the hoop’ daily.

Gallo has been good on both ends tonight
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 7:43 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
yes indeed
he looks more confident all of a sudden
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He seems to be a rhythm player…when he gets going he does everything.
When he starts slowly and is subbed out every 5 minutes he looks lost.
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 7:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Offense
Much better player and ball movement. We’re finally setting screens off the ball for Gallo. I feel good about this.

Nine assists is Duhon’s season high? Jeez.
by Stargazey on Nov 29, 2009 7:47 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
even on a good night
duhon really knows how to pick the worst time to shoot a pull-up three
by Seth on Nov 29, 2009 7:50 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
A love how a good night for Duhon is the equivalent of a below average one for Steve Nash.

David Lee
No reason to put up your hands there. Just look at the dude and hope the shot wont go in.

Gallo
Would we rather have him in there than either Wil or Jeffries? Or is the defensive drop off that steep?
by ibnyc on Nov 29, 2009 8:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Now that it's over can we please see the kids?
by Nolan B on Nov 29, 2009 8:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
this is terrible
Gallo went 4-5 from trey, but when I turn on my tv jeffries is dropping a ball…mda jus need to give up on the vets
