Milwaukee Bucks [11-20] @ New York Knicks [26-3] Knicks Win Behind Streaky Shooting By Korver And Buike After This Free Throw Jenning Hitted A 3 Pointer That Tied The Game [Read More On The Last Paragraph]
Korver got off to a great start by hitting those shots early, But unfortunately D' Antoni took him out for the @nd Quarter as he was already missing shots and forcing them and pretty much hogging the ball. Same thing in the 3rd Quarter but Azubuike filled Korver's shoes and started the momentum as he had 2 And-1's in a row! And also Patrick Ewing Jr. got off to his best game in 2 Months after not showing up in the past games.
In the Fourth Quarter, Kyle Korver heated up like he was in the First Quarter and in the last minute, The Bucks could have a chance to win it but the Knicks second chance points and rebounding got them pownded by the Knicks. Jennings shooted a 3 Pointer and it went in that tied the game 104, But on the other end of the floor, An And-1 made by Kelena Azubuike in which he didnt make the free throw and so the Bucks took it to the other end of the floor and missed the 3 pointer.

Boston Celtics [24-11] @ New York Knicks [26-4] Celtics Overcome Knicks Again Behind Pierce's 4th Qtr.
Yet again Paul Pierce became quiet in the First Half but yet again exploded in the 2nd Half to once again steal the win from the Knicks.
Kyle Korver lead the momentum with a awsome start but the bench was really the main factor that kept the Knicks in the game in the 2nd Half with their lineup of Curry,Randolph,Azubuike,Farmar And Ewing Jr. but Ewing would go in and out with Danilo Gallinari. But despite John Wall playing hurt, He became the Knicks top scorer but not top performer, Top performer from the Knicks was Amar'e Stoudemire, Because he was everywhere on the court he was rebounding scoring defending and really was the leader. But the Knicks really needed more on John Wall as they would face the Celtics again tomorrow and the Raptors And Heat after their game with the Celtics, So they would have 4 games straight, this would test the Knicks toughness.

Boston Celtics [25-11] @ New York Knicks [26-5] Fatigue From Knicks' Starters Caused The Blowout The Knicks Could Still Have A Chance On Winning It Or Making A Comeback, Only If Korver & STAT Drained All Of Their Free Throws
Once again the Knicks still couldn't get pass the Boston Celtics because now they are starting to fatigue a lot and Knicks Head Coach also have noticed that but D' Antoni said they should be more focused and ready because they still have 2 more straight games before they have their peaceful rest and those 2 games are not so easy game and they are against the Toronto Raptors and the POWERHOUSE Miami Heat on the following day.
Both the Knicks and Celtics got off to a very quick start but the Celtics came up stronger than the Knicks in the First couple of minutes, Then the Knicks bench powered the Knicks and fought their way back to top the Celtics but still couldn't really stop the Veteran Studded Boston Celtics, John Wall didnt have much playing time and spend time on the bench in the First Half and also gave him some rest to reserve him for the crunch time in the 2nd Half because he is still hurt But again, Unfortunately John Wall got injured early in the 3rd Quarter and after that, The blowout was already starting even before Wall got injured.
And so Amar'e Stoudemire was their Powerhouse against the Celtics and he did great but one thing that downed the Knicks was they were allowing too much 3's from Paul Pierce and some from Ray Allen, But the NBA or the whole world should give credit for the Celtics Rookie Guard, Avery Bradley had his breakthrough game and was one reason on how the Celtics overcomed the Knicks in the 2nd Half and also Bradley stepped up for injured teammate Rajon Rondo who would be missing some games for the Celtics, Rondo got injured in their last meeting against the Knicks last night.
The Knicks could have gotten a chance of winning the game if not only for the poor free-throw shooting for Amar'e Stoudemire and especially from Kyle Korver who got to the free throw line several times but failed to make the shots and this shows on how really important free throw shooting is for everybody.

Good luck on your team though on this,hopefully you can be the Lakers' of the school!
School championship starts in Greece in 2 months.Last year we couldn't make it far so now we have high expectations(our captain and a friend and classmate of mine plays at Panathinaikos BC and practises with the men's squad!).So our target is the late knock-out,despite playing with really strong opposition
Yesterday we played for the Team's Youth championship.Currently 1st on our group with 3 out of 3 wins on the second division.
I'm not the scorer type though,even if i play SG.My strong point is the rebounding ,stealing and the assists(averaging sth like 8 apg this year)
Back on the dynasty,it would be nice if you finished the season,even if simulating some games.

Toronto Raptors [15-22] @ New York Knicks [27-5] Mike D' Antoni Talks To Eddy Curry About His Game
Stoudemire Powers Knicks Over Raptors
- January 10, 2008
After 2 devastating losses against the Veteran studded Boston Celtics in the past 2 straight nights, The Knicks finally find them selves take a win despite the players are in fatigue.
After the game the media caught Mike D' Antoni on the hallway near the Knicks Locker Room and he was interviewed about the win against the Raptors and D' Antoni said that, "We know that our roster is in huge fatigue and im very proud that they didnt let that fatigue bother their game tonight and we still have one more thing to handle tomorrow night, It Should Be Big."
The Raptors actually took charge early in the 2nd Half which gained them a 11 Point lead early but early in the game Jose Calderon got fouled out, The Knicks wasted no time and the bench for the meanwhile took some momentum away from the Raptors' side and carried that momentum up until the 4th Quarter ended. Azubuike had some red hot shooting tonight finishing the game with 11 Points off the bench and Anthony Randolph still showing signs of him being useful as a Knick, Even thou Powe wasnt scoring much, He gave boost to the Boards and had 5 Off the Bench.
Early in the 4th, Amar'e Stoudemire, Kyle Korver and Danilo Gallinari gave it their all and had a great showing of teamwork in the game but it seems that Amar'e Stoudemire would end up scoring the basketball with power in him and the Raptors couldnt do anything about it until Linas Kleiza hit 6 consecutive points that powered the Raptors over the Knicks by 3 with only 1:30 minutes left in the game but then Amar'e Stoudemire had alot of trips to the Free Throw lilne, This time he was able to convert most of them, In the end Amar'e Stoudemire ended up the hero.

Game Time Preview: Miami Heat Vs New York Knicks
With all the pressure and fatigue with New York now after 3 straight hard fought games, The Knicks are now on their biggest challenge this January, Facing the Miami Heat is almost like taking a early view at the Eastern Conference Finals, The Miami Heat are seeded no. 2 in the Eastern Conference and the Knicks are seeded no.1 in the Eastern Conference.
NBA Commissioner David Stern said in ESPN that this Game should be one for the ages as he said he will be at Madison Square Garden to watch this game and he's pretty excited according to he media. With the Big 3 now 100% healthy, The Knicks should really put up a fight and really put more focus on this game. But the Knicks are having fatigue now according to the training staffs but they said that the Coaching Staff have to rotate the player better to give the starters some rest and get back to work and get the job done.

| A.Randolph | L.Powe | P.Ewing Jr. | J.Farmar | K.Azubuike | T.Douglas |
IR
| John Wall | Landry Fields |
Key StartersAmar'e Stoudemire - If you leave him on the offensive end of the floor 110% STAT will burn you and he can be dangerous down low in the block and can also kill you with his aggressive defense.
Danilo Gallinari - Sometimes he's very quiet early but for sure he can do some crunch time shooting when you leave him comfortable with his range.
Kyle Korver - Deadliest shooter in the Knicks Roster today and really has a dangerous stroke when you get him going but lacks stamina and and could slow him down by ragid defense.
Key Bench Players
Kelena Azubuike - More like a Kyle Korver type of player so far but very much alive on the defensive end of the floor and really a boost of the bench and can deliver in crunch time.
Anthony Randolph - Really one of the Sixth Man Award contenders and really can grab the momentum with offensive boards and his long arms can really block shots in no time but at times he gets rattled much when the pressure is on the Knicks side.

IR

Key StartersLeBron James - This guy is said to be a matchup nightmare for the Knicks, Because he has now shown great strikes on his 3 Pointers that could really let you down in no time. But yet again he can slow you down with his reckless D and leaping ability and speed to block you one by one.
Dwyane Wade - He is called "The Flash", Really super fast like Flash Gordon, now that he has CB1 and LJ6, he has now proved that he is worthy to be called a Combo Guard, He has now shown his amazing passing ability that gives larger scoring opportunities for his teammates and also make them better. But he his also a deadly in crunch time.
Chris Bosh - He is like STAT that is very dangerous down low now tht he has enhanced more on his post moves and also worthy to be called he Best poster in the league, But also he has the strength to grab the ball in no time.
Key Bench Players
Mike Miller - He has now shown that he still has it, Averaging 6 Points a game but with 2 3's in a game can make a difference in the game.
Udonis Haslem - Has shown some muscle on the boards but so far this year he's lacking playing time due to Chris Bosh but the Heat Head Coach said that he will rotate his players better than ever, So that he'll give exposure to the players.
