The Outlook on HDTV Ready LCD

If you want to take full advantage of your HDTV, or high definition TV, then you should get a HDTV ready LCD television. The traditional TV will not give you the best viewing experience because the HDTV is in higher resolution. At the current time, the…

I think Isiah needs more control of the franchise. He clearly has been handcuffed so far. I would recommend the Knicks take off the shackles and let the man work his magic!

Q’s obviously going through a lot of personal problems, but he isn’t doing anyone any favors by playing.

Watching him play the Hawks, his poor decision making led to about 10 easy points for the Hawks, just in the 3rd quarter. He looks scared to shoot threes, he’s bricking most of them, turning over the ball, his defense still sucks despite his increased effort, and he isn’t doing that little devil horn thing anymore…it doesn’t look anything like the Q that we saw last season.

Best wishes to him and his family, but that Kurt Thomas trade is looking worse and worse by the day.

Don’t even start with me about Nate…dunk dunk dunk, yeah yeah yeah. When’s the last time he actually made one of those stupid attempts…in a game??? At this point, I would be happy if Isiah traded him for Tyronne Lue with another future draft pick…and you know he’s just going to embarass himself at the dunk contest.

I think he has a bad back. I think that’s half the reason Phoenix ditched him. I mean you’re right, he averaged 17ppg and 6rpg in his last year in LA, then drilled 226 3-pointers last year (including 7 against the Knicks one night!).

That’s why no one would insure his back either. Obviously it doesn’t appear bad enough to stop him playing but seems to limit him. Otherwise his brother got shot, relationship issues with Brandy, NY nightlife…its probably been a crazy time for him.

is quentin richardson injured? what the hell is going on with him? the guy has done with thing since he came into the league five years ago — put the ball in the hoop. now, he’s shooting 35 percent.

any insight? i don’t think guys just forget how to shoot, and slumps don’t last 42 games.

While hindsight is 20/20, this was slightly obvious at the time but the Knicks should have used their Houston rights on James. how ironic would that have been.

I realize that turnovers/possessions may be a more effective stat with respect to turnover rate, but 23(!!!) Knicks team turnovers to Atlanta’s 11 is just terrible. The Knicks’ turnovers/game is highest in the league (17.4). On 82games.com, their turnovers break down like this:
Knicks Opponent
Off. Foul 145 109
Bad Pass 300 260
Ball Handling 263 241
Other 39 23

This team just looks like they have stopped trying altogether. After the worst team in the league scored 23 points higher than their average ppg, I think Kobe has the moxie to break 70.

Maybe its due to the fact that Lee has gotten low minutes and a lot of rest lately, but he didn’t look like he had hit the wall last night at Atlanta (8-11 for 18 pts including a nice ally-oop dunk in the fourth quarter). Much of this came in garbage time with the Knicks down 20+ though, as LB took out Curry and Marbury for the better part of the second half, going with Robinson/Crawford/Lee/Frye/Butler.

“Does anyone know why David Lee has not gotten off the bench the last few days?”

I asked this a few days ago also, and since then I’ve only read a few random notes on it from NYK beat writers. Evidently all three rookies now, not just Frye, have hit the wall — mentally and physically exhausted.

I follow the Knicks closely but not so much the rest of the league. And since the Knicks have not had a rookie play significant minutes since Mark Jackson sometime in the 1980s, I don’t really know how this works. Can we expect Frye and Co. to get a second wind? Will they come alive again after the all-star break?

I was looking around the league and other rookies logging big minutes, like deron williams and charlie villanueva, have also fallen off some in january. (chris paul, however, is still going strong.)

re: woods, i think the guy can play and could be a long term solution at SF, as long as they don’t expect him to be a bigtime scorer. national columnists bashed the move when zeke signed him, but could be awesome role player with the right pieces around him.

Yeah you’d think he’d be worth at least 10 mpg. Having said that, Woods looks pretty decent, I honestly think he could be a huge find.

A Larry Brown find too, not Isiah’s.
