I’ll put up a 2nd half open thread for the Orlando game.

Let me get this straight. The Randoluphagus is out v. Orlando and Isiah starts Jeffries instead of say, their best player.

Wow.

Maybe Isiah really don’t trust whitey.

(That’s meant to be a joke, just to be clear)

“Eddy Curry blamed this season’s mess on the media. “The season could’ve gone very easily the other way if we stayed together and not let the media tear us apart,” Curry said”

Is he serious???????

yeah, that’s what I was talking about a few weeks ago. if you’re still paying for tickets, you’re part of the problem. this might not have been crystal clear coming into this season, but it certainly is now, so you have no excuses going forward.

This is pricless…

“Until fans stop filling the Garden, Dolan could be stubborn. Thomas has often talked about his success in terms of the bottom line. (Forbes ranked the Knicks as the league’s most valuable franchise). Thomas disagreed the fan base is disgruntled, touting the Garden’s decent attendance. The Knicks average 18,974 (96-percent capacity), ranking 11th.

“Our fans have been tremendously supportive,” Thomas said.

Despite the gaudy stats, Zach still had major issues on D and made some poor decisions on O down the stretch. I think an on-court leader at PG could help him, i.e. he could be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, IF he gets into better shape and has a quarterback on the floor to reign him in. That is worrisome if we go the draft route for a PG, are any ready poise-wise to boss the veterans around? Rose? Mayo? Or are we ging to have to wait 2-3 years for one of these guys to develop? Would Bibby have been a good guy to go after or is he to much on the way down? He looked good last night!

Atlanta is horrendous defensively and provided a good opportunity for Zach to exploit, but with that said he clearly played like an all-star last night on offense and the boards.

Well, if he played games like that all the time, you wouldn’t be hearing any complaints. He was terrific last night. Played 45 minutes and was a +1.

That bad outlet was a killer, Lee’s 4 turnovers really hurt. But that was a bad game from him and he was still very productive.

I can’t believe Jamal played 44 minutes without a rebound….

Nate seems to be looking to find space for a long jumper as opposed to driving his man toward the basket. In other words, he’s not being as aggressive as he used to be. When he penetrates, it opens things up for the bigs down low and creates easy putbacks for Lee. Re: Zach, it’s amazing that a guy can go for 29 and 17 and no one is a believer, including me. I guess he has always had a reputation as a stat machine who does nothing to make anyone else better.

Nate still needs to learn when to find his shot. Don’t get me wrong- he’s much more intelligent at that than Crawford already, but he needs work. And his passing has come a long way. He could still execute the pick and roll better and try to get to the rim more… I mean, he’s a friggin’ cornerback! He should hit that lane whenever he can.
