Game Thread: Knicks vs. Magic- 11/29/09
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.

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

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 does nothing well.

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
i keep hoping
that one day Stan will break out the Paul bearer voice but alas!

gallo manages to block a taller player from behind
lee can’t even bother to contest his second effort
chandler reminds me
of a younger, better al harrington. with more court vision…and athleticism…and potential
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.
Gallo currently has more blocks than the rest of the team combined
Of course he did when he only has 1, but yeah.
We've recently been throwing the game away in 3rd
Time to break the cycle?
what happened?
is this game in orlando?

i dont even know
how to begin to describe it

Hughes is in awful chuck mode
Can’t we play Toney?
Offense
Much better player and ball movement. We’re finally setting screens off the ball for Gallo. I feel good about this.
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?
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
