New team: never coached these players before.
Okay, well I guess that part is on the coach. One would expect the team to get better, but after the 6 game win streak where LB played his best players in a style that suited them, he backslid into crazy rotations and an incosistent game plan.
New players: players who haven't played together before.
And they still are not allowed to play 'together', becuase LB flips the minutes/starts/game plan constantly.
New system: players learning a new system and way to play.
What is the system? Come on, stop avoiding the question!
Injuries: Curry, Q, Marbury.
The team was TERRIBLE before Marbury got injured, and he only got injured a few games ago, so I don't see how you can factor that in. Curry was hurt early on--but they did not start winning when he came back! Q: When Q does have a good run, LB sits him and doesn't let him back in. But overall, he is serving the team better when he sits.
Rookies: Just too much to learn so quickly. Make alot of mistakes.
Rookie do make mistakes. And if they could get some consistency from their coach, maybe they could put it together on the floor. (Like when he did play them consistent minutes/style for that winning streak a while back.) Instead, they are playing with one eye on the basket and the other on the bench.
New York: Are you saying playing in NY is the same as playing in Charlotte?
Are you answering a question with a question because you have no answer? It makes me think you don't know anything about NYC. I'll ask again: How is NYC causing the Knicks to play worse?
Lawsuits: AD, Isiah, Marbury, just a distraction.
Again, the Knicks were TERRIBLE before there were any lawsuits.
Hmmmm, I don't remember that gem, must have been forgettable.
Actually it wasn't one gem, it is a discussion that has spanned weeks and many threads. You probably missed it because it was a basketball discussion, and not really a place for snyde remarks and nasty comments that are totally unrelated to basketball.
oohah
