FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY: New York -2.5, 205.5 o/u

PREVIOUSLY...the New York Knicks beat the New Jersey Nets 105-95 in Newark on Saturday night without Amar'e Stoudemire but with 30 points of the bench from Toney Douglas and Bill Walker.

The Hawks beat the Knicks in both previous meetings this season: 99-90 in New York on November 27th and 111-102 in Atlanta on January 28th, a game wherein Marvin Williams flat lost it and Amar'e Stoudemire might well have gotten his feelings hurt.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
