Re: New York Knicks @ Charlotte Bobcats 12/21
I have to say, this is a crucial game in my opinion. The Utah game was great for our confidence. To match up inside with the Knicks will tell us if Nazr and Okafor can be the defensive presence we need inside. Tonight will tell us a lot about the rest of the season. Mark my works my friends - tonight will tell us a lot about our Bobcats. And strangely enough, I have a good feeling about the game tonight!

I agree with your assessment, tonight will show us what side of the bubble we lay "at this point in time", I mean this will only be Nazr's 2nd game starting and Im sure he will continue to get tighter with the team as time goes on.
I have high hopes and feel we can win this game if we play with the same intensity we did the other night against the Jazz.... :g:
Re: New York Knicks @ Charlotte Bobcats 12/21
A big reason on why Randolph always has stellar games against us is his outside shooting. Mek is very squeemish playing those perimeter big guys and I doubt Nazr is any better.
Agreed tho; if we just play our game and not get into foul trouble (Nazr/Mek) then we should take the win.
Re: New York Knicks @ Charlotte Bobcats 12/21
This is a winable game . But we got to hold our own at the four and the five position. That is key . All so was our game intensty a one game thing or are we ready to inprove. I think we better at the Point two and small foward positions. Even though Crawford will be hard to handle.
Prediction our bigs come through Naz and OK . And our intensity is going to be good . Home game close win BOBCATS.

How is that? We had our best defender Primoz Brezec on him :funkybanana:
Seriously though If we lose this game I'll truly be upset, the Knicks are coming off their best game, but I don't believe it'll happen again, they are 1-9 on the road, and I don't think they'll beat us at home, definitely if we show the heart we had against the Jazz...

Preview: The New York Knicks (8-17) travel south to Charlotte, NC to face the Charlotte Bobcats (9-14). New York had their most impressive out their last game and look to carry the momentum in and out of Charlotte, but it’ll be rough as their momentum will clash with the momentum of the Bobcats as well. The Bobcats who were down 12 with less than 6 minutes to go in the game, fought back against the Jazz Wenesday night, and ended up winning by 6. Nazr Muhammad made his first start and scored 17 points last night, the Cats would love to see him hit the level or even surpass that tonight. Charlotte would probably also like to see Emeka Okafor see the ball a bit more and get a few more shots in, while the Knicks look to shut down the Cats and win their third game of their last four. Can the Knicks show the rest of the NBA that they are folding over quite yet, or will the Bobcats scratch their way to another victory? Find out tonight, live in Charlotte, NC!
