YOUNG AT HEART: Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry are the Knicks' future for better or worse, and Thomas is starting to transition to the younger players.

If you ask Crawford whether Thomas is making a wise decision, he'll give you a "what do you think?" look. If you ask Quentin Richardson that same question, he'll want to know why you are not including him as part of the Knicks' younger generation.

"You guys kinda forget that Jamal's not young," Richardson joked. "Me and Jamal are the same age. People are always thinking that Jamal is younger because they always put him in the youth movement. I'm not old, either."

In fact, each player is 26, but Crawford is 23 days older than his teammate.

Richardson certainly acts older and has taken on a leadership role in the locker room. He also serves as a mentor to both Crawford and Curry.

"Those guys are going to be huge," Richardson said.

Curry's defense leaves a lot to be desired, but on the offensive end he is becoming the Knicks' main option. When asked if he is getting the ball more in the fourth quarter as opposed to last season, Curry said: "I don't even see the fourth quarter (last year), let alone the ball." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/story/476195p-400586c.html

I guess we have to include Q in the youth movement too!

He's both a young player and a vet. He's a vet because he's been in the league long enough and because he plays like a vet - a smart vet.

I'm so glad Q is taking on a true leadership role on this team. I was so excited when the trade happened, I was disappoitned he was injured last year. He's always been one of my favorite player with the Clippers, and we're starting to see the true Q on this team.

I'm quite happy with the nucleus of players we have in Q, Craw, Lee, Curry and Balkman. I hope Isiah improves his coaching abilities as well, and we'll start to have a nice team, built for the future with speed, athletism, and youth.

People think Jamal's younger because he plays like a bonehead rookie

Ive been saying for a while Qrich is part of our youth movement. So is Jcraw. When our other youth are in their prime those guys will be the old vets. :)
Qrich is our captain regardless of who Isiah names
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

It is funny to think that not only are Craw and Q the same age...they have been in the league the same # of years.

Craw seems younger beacause he weighs 122lbs.
Let it be known: I believe in the Knicks this year-- deep into the playoffs, I swear to you my brothers...

Q rich got a bad rap last yr from knicks fans, but the injury and the deaths in his family and his own social life was too much for him.

Last yr the guy was actually trying to be a leader but his play on the court was limited.

Now he's fulfilling one of the many holes the knicks have.

BIG UPS TO Q RICH ^5
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

you guys say it like you're on the team, lol.


but yeah...I believe they were drafted the same year....I remember Crawford was a lottery pick that was traded to Chicago. Not sure about Q.Richardson. I know they both just played a year of college (St.L and Mich).

qrich was my favorite player on the team last year b/c he was one of the few that busted tail all year. plus he was about to lay a beat down on tommygunnbury.

this year, his game has definitely surprised me and he's a throwback to the 90's knicks. and i like seeing him getting in everyone's faces and making it hard for opposing scorers to get their points.

i don't know if he keeps up these #'s based on his career tho but he is entering his prime.

Was that the same year we signed crawford?

Translation: he showed his undying love and support for LB, and even tho he was probably thee worst player on the roster, I had a man crush on him for that.
