Manhattan KNICKERBOCKERS vs the Motor City PISTONS

PLAYBOOK

The Knicks come into Today's Action trying to get back to where they were in November in playing Solid Half Court Defense and Rebounding as well as sharing the Orange to get everyone involved as that's what got them to a 18-4 Record early on. Since they have struggled with Team Defense, Rebounding, and some Players with their Roles. They are still right there in the East in the Mix right behind the Champs 305 in the #2 Spot in the East.

The Pistons come in 14-24 and next to last in the Central. Pistons GM Joe Dumars has a Nice Young Nucleus though and look for the Pistons to start making Noise as soon as the 2013-14 Season as they are about a Year away.

The Knicks and the London Crowd know they will get a Showtime Outing from 'Melo as he always plays to the Crowd. Can the Pistons contain the other Knicks like "Get Shots" J.R., Ray Felton, and J-Kidd? The Best Match Up of the Game will be in the Back Court where the Pistons can be Explosive with Brandon Knight aka the Knight Rider and Rodney Stuckey aka Stuck. Can the Knicks contain these Guards enough to slow down the Pistons?

The Knicks haven't been shooting the Orange well of late and can they they get it going across the Pond in London's O2 Arena? Tyson Chandler will have his hands full with Pistons Young Bigs Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond. Knicks PF Amare Stoudamire will have to play Big and produce in order for the Knicks to have an edge in the Front Court.

Watch the Knicks SF Chris Copeland who has played extremely well of late including a 22 point Outburst with a couple of Triples a few games ago. The Pistons will unleash Pint-Size PG from the Chicago Crane Tech HS by way of Ramblin' Wreck GA Tech...Will "the Thrill" Bynum and his "Bucket a Shot-Clock" Mentality and he is a Load and will Flush on the Bigs if he gets in the Paint.

It will be #KnicksTape vs #MotorCityPistons from the Land of Fish and Chips...London, England the home of the 2012 Olympic Games.
