It's called desperation! He's not really focused on what would make sense, you just fly by the seat of your pants and feel your way to a win. It's not about the rest of the season, it's just about getting that win.
After they get a chance to view film and so forth they can reassess the rotations and all that.

...The Eddy Curry Renaissance...

The Knicks might lose two or three more games this season but with Curry back, it's obvious that the Knicks will be in the finals! We'd go undefeated if James was still around.

The first half was lame but they kinda played basketball the second half. It's too bad that Hughes looked like our most promising player. Argh. I didn't think it could get any worse than the last couple years but this season I feel like a Clippers fan, minus a team filled with first round rookies.

all i know is I have never seen anyone pass an inbounds after a made basket by opposition worse than Harrington. How many times does it turn into a TO?

also: Gallo certainly has to find himself more shots in the offense and/or move better without the ball, but when you got Hughes, Duhon, Lee, Harrington, Chandler, Jefferies (and now Curry) taking the worst decision bad shots known to the NBA (15-20 seconds left on clock, defender right in your face, out of your range, 4 feet behind 3-point line, 2 guys on you, Gallo wide open in the corner), it's gonna be tough.

how dumb are the pacers... Granger gets 30 in the first half and then disappears. It's like the whole Pacers team was taking notes on how the Knicks play and then executed it.

So, just so I understand: We won, but we're disappointed by the win?

i missed the 2nd half cuz the atdhe feed cut out. Do we give no credit for the coaching holding Granger to 3 points?

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

i am not rooting to tank and play rookies. But to give zero minutes to those guys in the second half is strange. It's not like Harrington, Lee, Duhon, JJ were having good games.

They have to run some of those high picks for him and let him react to what he is given, or just set some simple ones to free him up for a J.

I love the guy, but this was the first game where I was a little annoyed with him on offense. He also should have been used to attack the basket when Granger picked up foul # 2 early in the game. Might have changed the complexion of the game at that time.

he only trusts the vets. that's why it makes sense to add iverson.

also, to be fair, toney was -17 in 12 minutes, jordan hill looked lost (and curry looked good) and gallo looks like his back stiffened up and he's not showing any aggressiveness with the ball. the kids have to earn it.

2nd half he put up only three points though. Was he just out of sync? Foul trouble? Double-teamed?

Missed the game but looking at the box score..this is just stupid. Gallo, TD and Hill getting limited minutes. I hope to god it is because they are showcasing somebody.

Didn't Harrington basically take over the game and put the team on his back down the stretch?
