How to Stop Negative Self-Talk in Its Tracks

Did you know that you can stop negative self-talk in its tracks with a simple gesture?

Larry Brown has to take some of the blame for this season. He we are 50 games in and players still don’t have defined roles or minutes. You can say that’s because of the players but it is the coaches job to set the substitution pattern and to put the players in a position to suceed.

Why does Brown insist on putting in Malik Rose late in the game for Curry or Frye? Yes Rose plays defense but he always misses the game tying shot.

Why isn’t Frye the first player off the bench?

Why doesn’t he insist that the guards continue to feed Curry in the low post throughout the game rather than just in the first quarter?

Does Jamal Crawford or Nate Robinson have any acumen for basketball at all? At least Robinson’s a rookie, Crawford apparently will never have a clue. He isn’t a started and I’m no longer sure he can come off the bench and provide a spark.

Finally the team has quit on Brown, which is the biggest 10 million dollar a year disaster in league history.

Actually, if the attendance figures of Yahoo Sports are to be believed, the last five home games averaged 19431 attendees and the first five home games of the season averaged 18142 attendees, so it seems like more people are seeing the Knicks now-ish. I think if we boycott the Knicks, Dolan will start to lose money because of these outrageous contracts, and will be forced to actually use a sensible GM instead of trigger-happy Isiah.

“Dolan might be unhappy for the extra $30 mill or so he has to fork out next season for Rose?s contract and the matching luxury tax. But I am not unhappy, seeing as I?m not Dolan.”

Actually, this will also come out of our pockets in the form of raised ticket prices, and more expensive cable packages. Dolan doesn’t spare the consumer in case you haven’t noticed. Anyone beside a rich celebrity going to Madison Square Garden these days?

The team just lacks total direction; its totally inconsistent. Management and Coaching clearly are not on the same page. Either Isiah has some genius plan up his sleave that will all make sense one day or the knicks will be set back another 5 to 7 years. Its like Zeke is taking a page out of the Yanks play book with even the suggestion to trade our young players;
Whats next? Ariza and Frye for Kevin Brown and Randy Johnson? David Lee for former Badboy Standout Dennis “the worm” Rodman? C’mon!!!

I actually like Jalen as a player but him being on the roster stunts the development of the younger guys (Robinson, Lee, Ariza and even Frye). I’d honestly prefer to lose with younger guys and see them get better than to lose with over priced veterns who can’t fit into the chemistry that LB is supposedly trying to create, i.e. BALL CONTROL,DEFENSE (thats another subject for another day).

Kevin-

Normally I would agree with you except for a few things.

#1 Malike Rose and Maurice Taylor are playing whereas David Lee is not.

#2 Quentin Richardson is playing whereas Nate Robinson and Ariza are not playing.

To me it sounds like the Knicks are not 100% committed to the youth movement.

I mean today they are talking about trading Frye, Lee, Ariza, and Robinson in various deals to get players who are shot like Kenyon Martin or Darius Miles etc..

At least in the Rose situation they addressed a need. Take away minutes from Q Rich and Malik Rose and give those to Lee.

Lee in my opinion should be one of the top guys right off the bench. Why have the Knicks gone away from what got them that 6 game winning streak? During that streak Malike Rose was a bench fixture. Now he is your first option off the bench.

Ammad –

you are missing what the Rose trade really means -Woods and Ariza are not the answer. Isiah didn’t pay $30 MM for a mid first round pick. Jalen is going to take time from Woods and Ariza.

So after next season when Jalen goes away you have two guys who sat a lot and in a lot of time in the NBA have accomplished nothing.

I can’t believe someone highlighted Antoine Walker in a comination of the Heat and The Spurs. Antoine is just the worst good player in the history of the NBA. I like to call him the BLACK HOLE, because once he get’s the Rock you know no one else is going to see it, because he’s definitely shooting it. I’ve seen him live twice this year and in both games he AIR BALLED two three pointers! And where’s Tony Parker at in the Heat/Spurs combination? I mean, he’s only leading the league in points in the paint!

After watching tonights loss against the Clippers, I think LB should start Jalen at the point. Marbury is too dribble happy and cannot front any point gaurd in the league. Jalen presents matchup problems and his wingspan and height block the clear view. Hell, it can’t hurt!

My starting 5:

Curry/Frye
Taylor/Rose
Lee/Woods
Marbury/Crawford
J.Rose/Nate

Q is the backups backup…
