Honestly this whole gig is---did Nike say Lebron we will give you 200mm if you play in NY and DW knows it?? If we dont get Lebron James--he gets classified in there with Layden and Thomas.

Who exactly is our PF or C? Im still confused with this? If I say D Lee 4--who is the 5?

I believe he could grow into a good big for us but he's not ready to handle that role. We all know this team has issues but there are no solutions on the roster and acquiring help won't happen if it eats cap for 2010!!!

Let's just be real about this. We tried to ride out the last 2 yrs hoping to get by with a team with big holes. Everything had to workout for this team to have a shot at the playoffs. We'll see if maybe DW can get some help.

nix - when it comes to young players, they will be inconsistent. but they will be even more inconsistent and have their development stunted if they get ZERO burn. hill gets ZERO burn.

the knicks are functioning like a very very very bad expansion team. think washington nationals.

Okay David we want you to score 20 points, be the only rebounder on the team, set 70 drag screens, play 40 minutes and guard guys 4 inches taller and 25 lb heavier than him. Dont get in foul trouble because we dont have anyone we trust to put in and play behind you. That is why I have been saying Gallo or Chandler has to go to get a center or a point guard.

was it unfair to ask Lee to play defense vs. the Bucks the other night when Ilyasova & Warrick were dunking all over us in the paint in the 2nd half? Bogut was out of the game early in the 1st half so enough w/the excuses already... truth is Lee needs to step up & play some damn defense if we ever want to be a good team... stop waiting for other players to come & give him help & be accountable for your own deficiencies.

who was the Bucks' C the other night when Bogut left the game w/migraines? u telling me we can't expect Lee to check guys like Mbah A Moute or Ilyasova?

I think a conventional coach would try Lee and Hill together--it's not Lee's fault that we dont play a C. Lee is a PF. Who is the C and PF on the starting unit--ot sems like just Lee and no one else has culpability. Funny but if every player played as good as Lee did 12-18 32 points 15 rebounds--we would win 60 games. Right? How is it David Lee's fault that we dont play a C? It's MDA's fault--or Walsh's fault --the coach doesnt play Hill next to Lee and Walsh couldn't get a C in two years other than a guy who didnt wanst to be here--he certainly had his chance to get a decent guy???

Jefferies and gallinari is not a good match---one of those two is considered the C or PF and neither are at this point--they are 3's masquerading as 4-5.
