Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Seattle native Jamal Crawford is playing well in his only game back home, finishing with 14 points in the first half as New York leads 38-34.

Both teams are playing a lot of zone defensively right now, and neither team is shooting very well. New York is shooting 14-of-38 from the floor (36.8 percent), while Seattle is shooting 16-of-41 from the field (39 percent).

Seattle rookie Kevin Durant has struggled offensively, going 3-of-10 from the floor.

Seattle holds a 28-19 rebounding advantage, but hasn't looked to push the ball on the break, with just two fastbreak points.

With New York's Eddy Curry out, Seattle needs to drive to the basket and look to get inside more and stop relying on scoring from the perimeter.

Seattle rookie Jeff Green will sit out tonight with a sprained left ankle. Damien Wilkins will start in Green's place.

Wally Szczerbiak is a go tonight, along with Kurt Thomas and Nick Collison.

Two Seattle natives also return home with Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson back in town.

The Knicks are 0-4 on their trip out West, and looking to go home with a win.

Robert Swift also is suited up tonight, but Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo said Swift will not play until he gets a few practices in.

Robinson and Crawford are both starting for New York tonight. Eddy Curry is out for New York. David Lee will start at center.
