IMO this is a must win. Need to start off the road trip on the right foot. Hope im first! lol

[AYozzy]

Just hope we don't take them lightly and focus on Thursday rather than tonight

[KnickerBockerAL]

Who is Jeffrey Taylor? What the? attack him right away. lol

[HOZ THE KNICK]

sleep is the cousin of death we better be on our A game and not take them lightly.

[still a fan]

I hope everyone has learned no game is a guarantee and no game should be taken lightly, and Woody seems to have a handle on that.

This is where the veteran presence comes in and the value of having guys like Kidd, Sheed, Thomas and Camby on the team.

Knicks got so much Heat (no pun) for signing guys over 38 but their experience and wisdom and how the other players respect and listen to them has had a major influence on our success this year.

Melo seems focused from the tip off of every game this year no matter who the opponent and that is a very good thing.

We should win this game. Keep Walker in check and hopefully blow them out. tough b2b coming up, need to get the W and go 13-4

jeff taylor can play and he defends pretty well. BEN GORDON is the guy we should all be worried about. he has been on a tear lately and always goes hard against the Knicks. unfortunately, charlotte matches up very well with us, but i think we'll pull this one out.

you're right about BG. But i swear, every team we play, somebody in this forum always says "this team matches up well with us" lol.

I think most of us here (and the knicks too) know that the bobcats have been playing good ball and that we can't take them lightly. especially on the heels of the Heat loss to the Wizards.

the reason i say they matchup we'll with us is because they have good perimeter defenders and a few guys to throw on melo. honestly, we matchup well with every team in the league.

they have good guard play, which ALWAYS hurts the Knicks, they have Knick killer ben gordon off the bench and good defenders overall... how do you think they've been winning games? by staying close throughout the game and defending at the end... we just struggled to beat phoenix... you'll see though...

This. They have no one to stop Melo.

The Bobcats are a much improved team from last year and have been playing some good ball with a few teams here and there. We can't take them lightly and have to key in on Kidd-Gilchrist, Sessions, and Gordon.
