New York at Cleveland

The Knicks have made some deals that give them a much stronger interior presence than they have had in a while. The addition of Zac Randolph, coupled with the emerging Eddie Curry, gives the Knicks two 20-10 guys under the rim. This is going to be a much better offensive team than we have seen from the Knicks in quite some time. The Cavs were hammered by the Mavericks at home and look like a team with a "success" hangover from last year. LeBron played about as bad as it gets, barely reaching double figures with 10 points, and had more turnovers than assists. Gibson, Hughes, and the like just looked like no-shows. We have seen this from teams in the past. They have some success and then have trouble getting the motor going the next season early on. The Knicks are a hungry team that can score some points, and go deep on the bench for shooters. This may be the perfect place for the Knicks to steal one before the Cavs wake-up.
