Albeit the Knicks' primary concern remains the 2010 free agency bonanza, the franchise is still hoping to see some improvement in the remaining month of regular season. Trying to clinch their third straight win, Tracy McGrady and the New York Knicks will make their way to Arizona to face the Phoenix Suns on Saturday at 2 a.m. GMT.
Considering that the Knicks have been rebuilding for no less than three years in anticipation of this year's free agent class, it is no surprise that GM Donnie Walsh moves were merely motivated by cap relief. That said, the performance of coach Mike D'Antoni's squad has still been somewhat disappointing, even though the acquisition of former All-Star Tracy McGrady has brought some excitement back to the Madison Square Garden. Ultimately, the Knicks appear to be bound to miss the post-season once again as they are just 10th in the Eastern Conference with a mediocre 24-43 record.
The Suns' front-office on the other hand is fairly content with the way the coach Alvin Gentry squad has performed thus far. Albeit Phoenix did not invest any money into their roster during the off-season, Steve Nash and company improved by leaps and bounds and find themselves on the fifth place in the Western Conference, posting a solid 40-25 record. Hoping to secure home-court advantage down the stretch, the Suns still rely entirely on their offense to win games and remain one of the worst defensive teams in the league. That said, Phoenix also averages nearly 110 points per contest and is a tough match-up for any team in the league. Franchise cornerstone Amare Stoudemire is having another great year, putting up 22.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
