That NO loss was a killer. I'm never thrilled playing anything NY or the Lakers are part of but I think we are in a great spot tonight.
It was pretty obvious in Cle that Marbury was just trying to fit in. Now tonight will be his chance to show the New Yorkers what he can do. Also, if NY ever had to win a game it's tonight. Thomas has his neck stuck out a mile but with a solid win tonight, the ticket office will start doing a brisk business. I capped this game more like I would if Hou was playing in Phoe. The group that Marbury has around him in NY is a better defensive team and a better group of shooters than the one without Stoudamare in Phoe. This team could really click. If Marbury will be a point guard first and a scorer second, Van Horne keeps playing up to his potential, and Houston gets his stroke back, this can be a dangerous team. I like their supporting cast but Mutumbo is not the center they need and Thomas is too small to play the spot. Love him in the power forward position. With that all said, I'm going with
NY -1
o 172'
Don't like the lines dropping but these middle of the day moves haven't meant much this year.
Good luck everyone
