Good evening, skybears! The Knicks begin a four-game road trip with a visit to Charlotte this evening. There, they'll be facing the Bobcats, a team that we've seen waaaaay too much of over the last few weeks. Everyone's hoping super hard that New York can turn about face from their recent struggles at home, but we've seen already that those Robertcats (like every other team, no matter how bad, the Knicks play) can cause a lot of trouble. Look for Boris Diaw, who when he's not facing the Knicks is a perfectly ordinary basketball player, to try and carve Amar'e Stoudemire and company up again.
The Cats, by the way, will be without DJ Augustin, and will start Kemba Walker at point guard. Iman Shumpert looked great against Walker in their last meeting, (right? I hardly remember. There have been like 24 Knicks-Bobcats games so far. It's just a big orange blur) so that'll be a match-up to keep an eye on.
