We stink on Christmas.
Yeah, Gasol may have trouble finding minutes during this game. Melo will torch him
As a Knick fan I have no idea who is going to guard Gasol. If dantoni was smart he would start both Metta and Gasol. Gason can hide on Brewer since it's been like 3 weeks since he scored a point. Melo would probable get in foul trouble guarding Gasol in the post.
Then again i'm not sure at this point in his career Metta can guard Melo effectively. It should be a fun game I expect both teams to play well.

Just give the ball to Pau on the block, try and get Melo in foul trouble early.
How about this? Instead of Howard drawing a few ticky-tack fouls in the first quarter, tell him to go in and knock Melo's block off the first time Melo drives into the lane. Nothing "flagrant" of course -- just a good, hard, honest blow the head, face and chest while following through on an attempted block.
Anybody can put up numbers if they're not afraid to go inside. And I think it's about time that other teams think twice about driving on our bigs.
We already started MWP against Melo and that failed miserably.
Don't you think it would be wise to throw a different guy on him (Gasol) and see how that works out?
How will Gasol guard a faster much more athletic Melo
You mean compared with whomever was guarding him in the last game, when he went insane and torched us for a million points, before getting hurt and making it look like we didn't get completely destroyed, when in fact we got completely destroyed?
I'm guessing Pau will probably have as much trouble guarding Melo as everybody else does. But because he's Pau and plays for the Lakers he will be excoriated for his performance, no matter how well he does relative to the norm.
