The Rockets will come in off a back to back with this being the 2nd leg in New MSG on NBA on TNT. They took it on the chin last night 123-117 as the Sixers beat them in Extras. They had no James Harden but Jeremy Lin knowing New MSG was a night away set tonight' stage as he draped the Sixers with 34 points...LIN-Sanity is back in the KNICK of time.

The Knicks come in having beat the Atlanta Hawks as the Bull went for 25 points. His Ace in the Hole at least for now Andres Bargnani went for 20 points and eleven rebounds and he has stepped into the Five role as Tyson Chandler will be out until December. Bargnani needs to bring big boy pants tonight as the Knicks have to contend with both Dwight of Three Stripes and that Turkish Big Omer Asik. Made for TNT Thursday Night only...Rockets and Knicks.

PLAYBOOK

The Rockets have a decided advantage in the paint and need to milk both Dwight and Asik and force the Knicks to play Big...

The Knicks might counter that by going small and forcing the Tempo and make the Rockets play at the Knicks Speed...

LIN-sanity will be on point and rolling as Ray Felton and Pablo Prigioni will be responsible for his actions...

Chandler Parsons will get the Bully and the Knicks need to put 'Melo in the Post and you it's ISO all day...that is the only play Wood knows how to run...so give it some 2% and milk it...

Can 21 Shump Street and "Get Shots" J.R. get it going and take it to the Rockets Back Court if Harden is there or not?

To Do List for Both: 

Guard the ARC...No uncontested Looks as a lot of Money Ball will be fired...Run all shooters off the Arc

Foul Dwight and Asik...no Lay-Ups...

Double Melo on the Screen and Rolls and make the screener make a play...

Eliminate Transition Buckets as Transition D will be paramount...

Attack the Basket and get the BIGS in Foul Trouble...

Limit Turnovers and no Live Turnovers....they lead to easy transition baskets

No Doubling Dwight or Asik...can't leave Rocket Shooters...

Game Time 8pm ET on NBA on TNT....
