NBA Lock of the Night!

JL (4-2, $1000) came back down to earth, but it was a pleasant surprise.  The Knicks manhandled the San Antonio Spurs and deflated the Spurs +4 line.  I have never been more happy to be wrong in my life.

Denver Nuggets +6 at the Sacramento Kings

Even without Carmelo, the Nuggets have been rolling.  Now with Carmelo back from his sabbatical, we can only expect the Nuggets to be a stronger team after learning how to live without him.  The Nuggets will handle the Kings and win by +10. 

NBA Lock of the Night!

JL moved to 4-1 with a bankroll of $3000 with last nights Heat victory over the hapless Bobcats.  The Heat easily covered the 7 point line, as Dwayne Wade and Lebron James each scored over 30.

San Antonio Spurs +4 at the New York Knicks

The league's best team against a team on the rise, but is missing a crucial starter.  The Knicks are not very deep and we will soon see how they respond to adversity.

Knicks Defeat Thunder 98-92

It may not have been pretty, but the end result was not only what the Knicks wanted, but what they needed.  Ronnie Turiaf (2 points, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks) rejuvenated a Knicks team that was down by 12 early in the first quarter, with an uncanny 6 blocks that reset the defensive tone that has helped make the Knicks relevant once again.  Many individuals are waiting for the Knicks to go into a lull against bad teams, Amare Stoudemire (26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks) is determined to not let that happen.  Amare showed his grit, strength and gracefulness yesterday afternoon, powering the Knicks in the fourth quarter with his 9 points and 6 decisive points in a row as the game was on the line.  Stoudemire showed grit by continuing to go to the basket (even while not shooting that well throughout the game), strength by backing down James Posey with ferocity, and gracefulness by knocking down the decisive jumper that gave the Knicks a lead the Pacers simply could not fight back from.  Amare was not the only hero on this gritty night that was mared by the injuring to Danillo Gallinari's (19 points, 5 rebounds) knee (which was diagnosed as a knee sprain and we are currently awaiting a status update after an MRI today), Ronnie Turiaf's out of joint knee, and Raymond Feltons dismal performance (14 points, 2 assists).  Wilson Chandler (10 points, 6 rebounds) gave a gritty effort on what was an off night offensively, and continued his lack of emotional display by knocking down a pertinent half court shot and walking grim faced to the bench.  Toney Douglas (12 points, 7 assists), also hit a big 3 in the fourth quarter that helped bring the crowd back into it and spark the big fourth quarter run.

Miami Heat +7 at the Charlotte Bobcats

The Heat have just made history on the road with their unblemished record for the month of December.  If they are going to hit a speed bump, it will most certainly not be in Charlotte.  The Heat will win by more than 10.

The Indiana Pacers make their way to the Worlds Most Famous Arena this afternoon! As the Knicks (18-14, 8-9 Home) take on the Pacers(14-17, 5-9 Away)with tip off set for 1:00 pm. T

he Knicks are coming off two emotional losses to the Magic and Heat, where they put forth frantic comebacks, but showed they are not quite there yet. We are no longer in the 1990's! So we will not being seeing Patrick Ewing walking through that door. This afternoon we get Amare Stoudemire (26.4 PPG, 9.1 RPG) and Danny Granger (21.0 PPG), who both lead their respective teams in scoring. The Knicks will be forced to body up Roy Hibbert (13.6 PPG, 8.2 RPG) who has shown great promise throughout the season, and has the kind of size that has caused New York problems in the past.

The Knicks have lost 5-7 with the difficult stretch of games, however, there was the one point loss in Boston, overtime loss in Cleveland and two 8 point losses in Orlando and Miami. If they had pull out two of those games, they would be standing At 4-3 in their last 7 games and this would nit be an issue. The Pacers have faded recently Losing 7 of 10 and have been struggling to put it all together for 48 minutes.

The Knicks can and will pull this game out today. They need to resuscitate the belief that they are an up and coming team, and there is no better place to do this than at MSG!
