One Game We Were Definitely Going to Watch Tonight: New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic

The Knicks game has been cancelled this evening due to "asbestos-related material" falling from the MSG ceiling during overnight maintenance after the Rangers game last night. WTF? Anyway, here's what we were thinking about before we found out about this madness...

What's up with Gallo these days? The Italian sharpshooter has looked far from impressive in the Knicks three games so far. Is all the trade buzz getting to his head? Is his wrist bothering him? Is the express subway line to Little Italy currently under construction? Whatever the case may be, patience is running thin in Knickland. They need him to step up his game, not only because he was pinned as their second best offensive weapon but also because his trade value is in serious decline. The marquee match-up tonight, though, belongs to two of the best big men in the game in Stoudemire and Howard. If the Knicks want to be a playoff team, they'll need to start beating some Eastern Conference superpowers at the Garden. Tonight will serve as a good measuring stick.

Tune in tomorrow to find out what Andrew Abides watched instead. Maybe it will be this game...

One Game We Probably Won't (But Now Might) Watch Tonight: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzles

I really hope that I watch this tonight. Some on my favorite non-Boston games are when either the Gasols or the Lopezes face off. Marc has been solid so far this season, dropping eleven against Minnesota, and Pau has been typical Pau: silky smooth around the rim and always prolific and efficient in terms of offensive production. The Lake Show look to remain perfect while Memphis hopes to have a 3-1 record by the end of the night. Keys for a Memphis victory: slow down Mamba and win the battle of the Gasols. Keys for a Los Angeles victory: slow down the young Memphis backcourt and win the battle of the Gasols.

Team Dreamin' 2011: LA Lakers

At No Regard, we love basketball. We love the spectacle and strategy of the game, but sometimes the league's lack of imagination confounds and disappoints us. Call us optimists, visionaries, or kids who watched too much Space Jam, but we have ideas. Damn are we gonna share 'em.

Pau Gasol and Brook Lopez are two of the best big men in the league right now. Pau was dominant all year alongside Kobe to help Los Angeles win it's second title in two years and Brook looks like he might someday be a 25 and 10 guy for the Nets. What do they have in common? For starters, they both have brothers who are big-men in the NBA.

How cool would it be to see the Gasols and the Lopezes on the same team playing with the Black Mamba?
