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.
