“I think ?Jeffrightened? works both ways – when you think it?s Jeffries actually doing a competent offensive play, but it?s actually Frye.”

No, that’s known as Defryelighted

Marbury and Frye will both be playing tomorrow, Marbury said he could have returned against Dallas but the game was out of reach:

“Frye: Pending the outcome of an eye exam after practice Wednesday, Frye said two scratches on his right cornea haven’t affected his vision. He did light shooting Wednesday with protective glasses and said he’ll play against Portland.”

A Mavs game seems like a throwaway game for us anyway, but losing Marbury and Frye to injuries during the game is an extremely concerning thought. Do we know how serious either of these are?

If either one of these guys goes down for a prolongued period of time, kiss the playoffs goodbye. At that point, it?s just time to play fantasy or AirPlay NBA Live. Speaking of which – has anyone else tried the NBA Live game? The free trial looks pretty cool, and it actually works on my cell phone.

The free throws drove me batshit insane that game. We did so much stuff right – especially the turnovers and rebounding – and we even played some good defense and forced some turnovers (yeah they shot a high percentage but their shots were ridiculous, it is Dallas after all). If we had just hit them we could have kept it competitive down the wire.

This isn’t the first time Isiah has said Balkman deserves playing time. A month or so back he said Balkman is forcing his way into the rotation and then all we saw of Balkman was some end of the quarter foul saving time.

As for Lee will eveyrone get over it. Whta difference does it make if he starts or comes in at th esix minute mark as long as Jerome James isn’t starting? He was averaging 30.9 minutes per game which was most among PF or PF/SF and trailed only Q among Fs? There are Frye, Lee, Q, Balkman, Jefferies to divvy up 96 minutes plus some time at C for Frye. Should Frye just get thrown to the wayside?

Have the Knicks been better with turnovers lately?

he doesn?t go nearly far enough with either of those guys. it?s been clear since early on this year that Lee should be starting and Balkman should be playing 20+ minutes every game, no matter who?s healthy.

Right, which is why I mentioned that I was only giving him “THIS much credit”…hehe.

Just that he was better than LB in that department, which is good to see (although, as you mention, he could be even better).

?Jeffrightened?-a term coined by Knicks fans to describe the state of mind when one sees what they think is Channing Frye making an offensive move, only to realize a second later that it?s Jared Jeffries.

God, that’s so true. Thanks. After that second half I need a laugh.

Mavs coach Avery Johnson dismissed remarks made by New York coach Isiah Thomas over the last two days that the Knicks had little chance to win this game. “If they’re so helpless, tell them to stay in the locker room and forfeit the game,”

hahahahah
