My sense, which may be off, was that Zeke was disciplining his players- something along the lines of “if you quit on me, I’m benching you and playing the scrubs, because they try at least.” I don’t think it’ll work, but if that’s what he was doing I can see why at least.

NEWS FLASH: Malik Rose is NOT going to get better. There is no reason he should get playing time. Ever. He’s a mascot on the bench.

Here’s the thing — I understand Lee had a bad game. But it’s going to happen. Lee’s future potential is about a zillion times > Malik Rose’s future potential even if he ends up being the third player off the bench at the peak of his skills. It’s not like we’re scrapping for a W any we can get it late in the playoff hunt. For the love of GOD — give the young guys 30 minutes every damn night! That’s the only way they learn anything and the only way you can objectively evaluate them.

Develop the talent you drafted otherwise what good is your skill at spotting late draft picks? I swear, Isiah could drive me to commit murder…I don’t think I’ve ever hated anyone as much as I hate him.

Coming down hard here from my mancrush. Nine offensive rebounds in 24 minutes is pretty good though…

the most important thing would be making trades. i could see us trading away marbury curry and randolf for players who fit in the system. my favorite would be tradin for pau gasol and juan carlos navarro, but we’d probably have to give up some good young players. if we did it with our pieces though we COULD have a lineup somthin like
1nate
2navarro
3balkman
4lee
5gasol

which personally is a great rotation. we would have lots of options too. move lee to center, balkman to pf and bring in Q-Rich to have more shooters. theres lots of options. if we kept marbury he would probably do alot better in a quick game pace because of all his driving to the hoop.

we would have better defense just because we lose our two centers who cant block a shot, and they turn the ball over all the time.

i dono if all this would work, but i would love the knicks to go uptempo. my favorite teams are washington, golden state, and the knicks. i just love watchin them play, and i just like the knicks because.

I like the way that Charlotte’s building their team, Gerald Wallace seems to kill us every time. also, Ryan Hollins looked great, he totally abused Lee at least once. #50 pick in 2006, add him to the list drafted after Mardy Collins, along with Daniel Gibson and Ronnie Millsap. that whole “best drafter ever” thing has taken a pretty huge hit recently.
