Monkey's off our back: Wizards vs Knicks

Got to ride the momentum wave coming off the big win against the Celtics. Very entertaining game to attend with the plethora of Celtics fans there. Good to send their asses home with the bitter beer face.

On to the Knicks...A lot of monkeys to get off our backs this game. 0-2 against the Knicks this year & haven't won at MSG since 2006, on top of the 0-20 road losing record this year. Perfect time to jump on the Knicks as they've struggled these past few weeks.

5 Keys to the game

1. Get Wall going. He has struggled against the Knicks this season shooting 8-25 with 10 turnovers in 2 games. Wall shook off one of his more poor assist performances against the Celtics to lead the victory.

2. Blatche's intensity. I'd have to say Blatche played his best half of bball in that second half of the Celtics game that I've seen from him. Didn't back down from KG & played a smart game. Good for him, keep it up against Amare.

3. MUSTAFA. What a pleasant surprise he was in the Celtics game off the bench. 5 pts. 5assists 2 blocks & 0 turnovers in 10 minutes of play. He looked better than Hinrich & if he keeps it up it really makes Hinrich expendable this year. Just get him a real jersey this game.

4. Nick shake off that bad game. Nick shot 1-13 in the Celtics...shake it off Nick & don't let it turn into a slump.

5. McGee! Keep guarding that paint. Teams are starting to take notice of him as I saw Ray Allen & Rondo think twice about driving the lane against him. We need that tonight especially against a PG like Felton that likes to drive.

Remember 0-2, 2006, 0-20...lets erase those three things tonight.

LOL @ Nick Young getting Cornrows
