Now after not playing Murry all season it's gonna be harder for the kid to feel comfortable. I've been saying all year that Woody should give him some real minutes to get a feel. If he wasn't really happy with Beno early, he could've slid the kid in a bit every game just to get his feet wet and shake any nerves. Then just increase his minutes gradually. Now the kid has almost no experience to go on.

Just unfreakingbelievable how bad things go for this franchise. If there's a way to suck this team will find it.

Where was this outrage about not developing young players when others were complaining about lottery picks and first rounders not getting minutes on a 29 win team?

Come on man....

It's not about playing Draft picksand developing players right now. It's more about the fact that Felton sucks, Priggy is old and Beno isn't even being given a chance....

Toure Murry is supposed to be this good defender. The guy can finish too. We need to see if he can do it to help the team. All the bull**** about the past doesn't apply here. We have guys in the wing that deserve a chance to see if they can do better. Cole Aldrich is in the same boat. Dude can't get off the bench and we are missing kmart and tyson with amare out every other game

People wanted Lin back didn't get that. People wanted a second superstar to pair with Ewing in his prime didn't get that either.

Do you believe in Santa? Let us have our dreams. Don't take or innocence away

If we had protected our draft pick this summer, this all would be a blessing in disguise. Too bad we have no foresight in our mgmt.

How, oh HOW! do they continue to trade picks without any protection?!

Did lin tear it up in garbage time? No
Has Murry ever played in the D League? No

Lin only started to play well in the nba the first game of Linsanity. It seems like you forgot that he was close to be getting cut. Players tearing it up would not be close to getting cut. Please let us not try to change history.

garbage time is not a way to evaluate anyone. The reason is because they are not playing the same role they would with the normal players. This is the same mistake people make when drafting. For instance people did not like Tim when he was drafted because his shot selection was bad on the scouting reports. His shot selection is bad but it is not as bad as advertised now because he is getting wide open shots off doubles from players like melo.

Murry in garbage time will not be getting easier shots because people will not be doubled. No one will be doubling Cole. If he played with Melo the kind of shots he would get would be easier. He would be in a more advantageous position to take advantage of defensive rotations.

If I remember correctly, Knick players at that time were going on-and-on how Lin kept killing all guards during practice before he got his first shot at the rotation.

You are correct, they did say he played well in practice. Gun said he played well in limited(garbage) time and that was totally inaccurate.
