Tonight in Atlanta, the Knicks (1-0) will take on the Hawks (0-1) in what should be an interesting game. The Hawks open their home schedule tonight and hope Joe Johnson can lead them to victory. He scored 25 points and dished out just 4 assists a few nights ago. Big man Zaza Pachulia had a double-double to back Johnson up. However, the story of the game will likely be how the Knicks play after their triple-over time victory a couple nights ago. They will have the opportunity to start the season 2-0 as they head back to Madison Square Garden over the weekend.

Will Josh Childress, Johnson, Pachulia, Josh Smith and company protect their house?

If the Knicks focus on winning and don't take their eye off the gold, they can easily win this match-up. One of the biggest problems last season was the lack of focus from the organization and underlying scandals regarding president, Isiah Thomas. In conclusion to last season, the New York media quickly used legendary coach, Larry Brown, as the scapegoat.

I just want to follow Jamal Crawford. He is from my town of Seattle and have watched him grow up. He is a real down to earth young man and I hope he has a good season. I do not know how Crawford, Fransis and Marbury and share the ball but we will find out. And the big fella Curry has to get mean and rebound much much better. I know Stephen A. Smith is always blasting Curry on his NY talk show and Crawford gets beats up pretty bad too for his shots he takes. I even told Jamal he needs to drive to the hoop more... Well getting ready to watch the Sonics and Lakers.

We always speak about the Knicks here, since a significant amount of members are from NY.
