Hi! The Knicks are playing the Thunder. All the Thunder, not the Thunder sans Kevin Durant like last time. Here's the injury news for New York:
Carmelo Anthony is out for the Knicks tonight. Lance Thomas is available.

Fine with that. There is no pressure to rush Melo if his knee's still sore. Sounds like there's not a huge problem there and the Knicks are just being conservative:
For background. Melo said yesterday he was "looking forward" to playing. Fisher said today he and medical staff agreed not to risk it

... but at least Lance is back! It's going to be tough to beat the Thunder either way, but hey, the Nets just did it.
Tip-off is at 7:30 on MSG. This is your game thread. This is Welcome to Loud City. Please don't post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams. Please be nice. Go the Knicks!
