no doubt, Steph was playing the best ball of his Knicks career during that stretch... too bad he got injured on that Wally Z pick... this team was really beginning to gel... but it's been a while since then & so far he hasn't shown any signs of returning to that form... right now i really like what i'm seeing when Jamal & Nate are running the backcourt... i think the Knicks should run w/that more & see where it takes them.
You really don't, cuz there's a reason why Steph is out there so much. Nate and Jamal is good in stretches, but they do have flaws that would be exposed the more them play. This formula is best for the team. Steph could play like he did during the streak, but that's not what is best for the team. We have so many guys that need to gain experience and get meaningful burn that it's better if Steph isn't the dominant force all the time. Let these other guys get comfortable running the offense as well and well have a much better team. That's what we see happening. The young guys are learning and able to do so without the burden of the extra scrutiny that comes with being one of the leaders as Steph is. He's tough enough to take the beating, having done so for MANY years now. They can just go out and have fun and help us win. Trust me it's best for all that Isiah does it this way.
