We went a legit 10 deep in the rotation and it really worked well. We actually played 11 (Kuz got a very short run). There isnt a ton of redundancy in our bench. Everyone does some different things. Lance picked up his poor shooting where he left off, but at least hitting those corner 3s was a great sign. Btw Lance is shooting 43% from 3 and 33% from 2. Ouch. Just bang and hit the long ball kid!
We have some muscle. I think the OKC game really lit a fire under these guys. Just because they are pros doesnt mean the cant lose focus. Since then our bigs have played big. With KOQ, Noah, Willy and Lance we have some real muscle. When you consider some of skill around them its a nice mix. We have a nice balance of size, speed and skill on the roster.
Coach continues his pattern of letting players play and not making quick subs. It seems to be working really well. Guys look comfortable and are playing hard and look like they can play through stuff without looking over their shoulders.
When was the last time a Knick bench outscored an opponent by more than 20 points? How often does that happen?

Oh, but both Boogie and Gay are probably much better, economically speaking, than Me70..., and neither of them gutted Sactown, or forced their way in, or are only one-dimensional dinosaurs or are always fat or have stupid smiles on their faces or rode the coattails of the likes of Jkidd/Rashweed or drove megastar players like Lin away...
Somewhere, the Melohating contingent are busy flagellating themselves while praying to their Mardy ColLins/Gallonari shrines...
