The Knicks Fix

The Celtics will start Brian Scalabrine in place of Kevin Garnett, who is suspended for tonight's game against the Knicks because of his altercation with Andrew Bogut on Saturday.

Doc Rivers was furious with the NBA and called the suspension "ridiculous" and said that Shaq's hit on Rodney Stuckey, which drew a Flagrant 2, was more worth a suspension than Garnet's swipe at Bogut.

The Knicks will take it.

The starting lineup remains the same for the Knicks and Wilson Chandler can rest easy not having to deal with KG all night long. Rivers opted to go with Scalabrine over Leon Powe because he wanted to leave his second unit intact and not disrupt his usual rotation.

Quentin Richardson will get his usual assignment in guarding Paul Pierce, but Mike D'Antoni said he might throw Chandler at Pierce now and then.

Enjoy the game.

Interesting controversy brewing in Cleveland, where fans at the Q actually booed LeBron James. Seriously.

He dribbled out the clock on a win over the Bucks. Fans were angy because the Cavs were one point away from 100, which would mean free Chalupas for everyone.

In New York, the Knicks will buy Chalupas for all fans who don't boo LeBron.
