Tim Legler

That's the best they can possibly play at exactly the right time.

That's where the Knicks were heading into the other night.

They were able to win that game, but OG Ananobi with that hamstring, that doesn't sound too serious, but it's going to be very delicate and tricky going forward.

I would suspect that no one has said this, but I would suspect

They sit them for game three tonight.

If they win the game, I think they sit them again because they'll be up 3-0 on Sunday.

And even if they somehow don't win that game, you're then going home to close it out.

Maybe you see them then.

No one has said that.

That's just my personal opinion.

If they lose tonight.

And he's really feeling really good.

Maybe you see him on Sunday so that series doesn't have a chance to get to 2-2.

But, you know, New York right now is playing, at least they were prior to this injury, they were playing the best version of themselves, which is all you can ask for if you want to be a contender.

I don't know why, because I've seen it enough throughout his career to think it's going to be different this time with James Harden.

You understand, by the time he's done, he's going to be only the second player in history with 30,000 points and 10,000 assists.

The only other guy is LeBron.

And yet, James Harden, for a guy that has accomplished that much, he seems unsure of himself.

And it seems like it happens almost every postseason.

It certainly looked that way in the first two games of this series, really badly last night when they were right there in a position to win.
