If we win this one I'd be so happy. Been kinda let down lately by there play, but at least they closed out that Indiana game best they could. Go Nuggets!

[3iverson3]

stoked for this game. Hopefully we win and JR Smith doesn't go crazy on us. This one is going to be tough. Must play perimeter D to win this one. Kidd, Smith, and Novak are great three point shooters. I think I am more excited to see Jr play against us than Melo. haha

Knicks are tired and without Melo you guys shoul win. Yet, perhaps Gallo takes the team to his favorite Italian place to eat and they have to much wine and Northern Italian food and are too stuffed.

There's a chance Melo plays.

But yea this will be a tough one for NY against a young, fast team like DEN.

With Amare/Shump/Camby & Melo out lately the other guys have had to play alot of minutes and this is the 3rd game in 4 nights.

EDIT: Actually the 4th game in 5 nights for NY -_-

I wish we played NYK at 100%. No offense to knick fans but tired of hearing their exuses of "well we didnt have shump or stat or melo" or "this is a back to back so we wont win"

In any event.... BRING IT NY

I haven't heard that at all, Knicks are 14-5, no need for any excuses, just stating the facts. It will be a tough game for NY... doesn't mean they can't or won't win.

NYers love the Nuggets since Gallo, Moz, and Wilson got traded.there.

[BRAVE KID]

^Yea, seriously. If anything Knick fans still get into an argument with themselves about Gallo/Ill Will, haha.

I had no idea that was such a big discussion over there.

[BRAVE KID]

If we come out and play with less energy than the Knicks...then the knicks deserve to win. I was incredibly disappointed earlier in the season where we let Miami IN THE ALTITUDE (and without Wade) come in and out-hustle us on the second night of a back to back.

You got to want it more. This is a big game for Denver. It would mean a lot for this club if they could take it.

[nycericanguy]

I wonder if Gallo will be less up for the game if Melo doesn't play.

He seemed to take it personal playing against Melo last year. Had the best game of his career.

Well we wish your team success, just not against the orange and blue. The Knicks can be ripe for the Nuggets tonight. A win against D would be impressive for us.

I wouldn't think so. It's still in New York...you can pretty much guarantee whoever he is playing against, he's going to bring something extra.

At least..that is what I would think and hope.

[Ty_Lawson]

I would start Brewer,Iggy and Gallo in this one if there is Melo,Faried can't play D on him...

Not you or this forum in specific but i've seen knick fans making tons of excuses for their L's. (last season included)
