Imagine the trade went through yesterday. How fun would that have been if Artest could've joined the team quickly and played tonight? He might have scored 40 and endeared us to him forever.

To the lineups.

NEW YORK
PG – Stephon Marbury (Maybe. Haven't been keeping up on the Knicks' injury report.)
SG – Jamal Crawford
SF – Trevor Ariza
PF – Channing Frye
C  – Eddy Curry

SACTOWN
PG – Michael "All-Star" Bibby
SG – Kevin Martin
SF – Francisco Garcia
PF – Kenny Thomas
C  – Brad Miller

The line: +5.

Fun bet o' the night: How many people will actually listen to/watch the game for the on-court action?

Sideshow most likely to be entertaining: Ha ha.

Best matchup: Brad Miller vs. Eddy Curry. B-52 can't go 0 for 8 again. Yikes.

It's on at 4:30 on CSN. Enjoy it, if you're not out buying an Artest jersey.
