Game 75: Portland Trail Blazers vs. New York Knicks

Blazers Analysis Knicks
PG
In the last 2 weeks, as New York has all but given up on the season, first round draft pick Toney Douglas has taken over as point guard. He's had a few nice games, and a few of the growing pain type games. Apparently he's the Knicks PG of the near future so they'll continue to roll with him. Former Blazer Sergio Rodriguez gets some run too, but he's not very good, so no worries there.
The problem for New York is that Andre Miller is actually a very good fit for Portland. Lately he's been amazing, helping Portland make their push towards the playoffs. I think Andre along with a little Bayless should be more than enough to cramp New York's style.

I'm not even sure what to say about Tracy McGrady at this point. He's on the way out of the league, making a ridiculous amount of money and not really trying in New York. I'm sure Eddie House will give it a good effort but don't expect much.
With Brandon Roy getting back on track offensively over the weekend, he will cause a lot of problems for the Knicks who aren't about defense. Roy will put on a show at the RG, I have no doubt.

SF
I don't know anything about this Bill Walker character, he seems like a decent shooter and only plays limited minutes as a starter. The majority of the minutes at the 3 will be from Gallinari who can certainly score in bunches and will cause problems on the perimeter for Portland.
No doubt this should be a good game for Nic Batum to get his offense going again. He should have no problems slashing, cutting, and running the break against this Knicks team. He'll also keep Galo under control.

Gallinari will apparently start at power forward for New York and then most of the minutes will come from the always aggressive Al Harrington. Al has been hot lately, so I expect him to give LaMarcus plenty of trouble.
Aldridge has been good in 2010, but not necessarily great. Against a player like Harrington who can grab a ton of boards and push people around inside, LA will have to make his mid-range jumper. I see Harrington winning this.
PF

David Lee is a freaking stat monster. The guy eats up rebounds and can score at will. Normally I'd just give him the edge, but a healthy Marcus Camby will want to thwart Lee's physical efforts in the paint.
The problem will be when Lee is out, Al Harrington will play a little 5. Both Knick players can score and rebound, causing plenty of problems for Portland. I gotta go with the Knicks front line here.
