The New York Knicks are bad, they are really bad, and for some reason the the Utah Jazz can't seem to win at the MSG. The last time the Utah Jazz won in MSG  was 25 pounds and five years ago. The Knicks are giving up 110 ppg and the Jazz are putting up 101 so expect the Jazz to score some points tonight. Could tonight be the night when Deron Williams get a standing O at MSG. Maybe, he would have  to land somewhere in the range of 40 and 15, which is possible. He has been playing with a chip on his shoulder his entire career but even more so this year. Chris Duhon and Larry Hughes can't stop him, and they Lee isn't really a shot blocker so he should have his way everywhere on the floor tonight. As a team can we keep David Lee of the Boards? I hope so. Boozer, Millsap and Okur have to play solid for us to win this game, not spectacular, but good. Here are the individual match ups  for tonight.

Yesterday in the Podcast I predicted a loss, a lot of that was due to anger over the Kings loss. After breaking down the stats and looking at the match-ups I think the Utah Jazz will win 114-103. TV -FSN 5:30 RADIO 1320/ 98.7
