I wonder how this is going to work defensively. You assume AK is going to guard Melo, so Love is going to guard brewer? Our issue defensively is closing out on 3 point shooting and that's the Knicks specialty. Could be a tough one although We are glass eaters and the Knicks are terrible on the glass

Love can guard Brewer, that's not an issue. Love will destroy him or Melo down low.

Love is out for this game with an eye injury

Ah that sucks. I was just going to mention that Knicks lost to the Bulls at home and that I liked our chances of winning a lot more now.

No line on the game that I can find right now. Love out cuz of his eye, I will keep my comments to myself. He did play a great game on Thursday. He will play many more great games as the season progresses, I am sure.

Knicks 97
Wolves 93

Melo with 24

Total 3's: 18 for 49

Bonus: Barea breaks his 10 game streak of scoring in double digits with a "Bad JJ" game.

JESUS. I can't even put to words how incredible these injuries are for the team. Also, Lee is probably done for the season as he'll probably have microfracture surgery.

Yeah if we had the Love that showed up for OKC, we would have a real chance in this one. But now without Love, they can give extra attention to Pek and he'll be much less effective

Is Amare playing?

I can't believe Love is missing this game. This is getting so old. Oh well, that's our reality and DC and D-Dub gotta fill in. They are capable and hopefully we enjoy a nice victory tonight. Unfortunately, NY will probably be ready for a comeback game after the Bulls destroyed them. I really don't have a clue how this one will play out...but that's why they play 'em and we watch 'em!

#2 Carmelo scores 27

#3 19 for 50 from troika land

Bonus: Derrick hits 3 of those 3 pointers.
