We are going to miss Frye. He was really starting to play well on offense and defense. He still has a way to go, but he was definitely playing better than at the start of the season and he and Lee play decent defense together. The good thing is that Balkman should get 25+ minutes a game until Jeffries comes back. We will see what he can do. Balkman and Lee should create havoc for opposing teams.

who's backing up Balkman at the 3 while Q is out i'm wondering? he didn't look good at the end of tonight's game. i think he may miss a few games too. how about bringing Qyntel Woods back?

We're in trouble now. Without Frye, we're very small up front. We'll probably be sliding over a SF, like Balkman, to PF at times, and we're going to have issues. I wasn't the biggest Frye fan, but I do see a gaping hole there with him out. The rest of our C/PFs are Eddy Curry, Cato, Cookies and Malik Rose. Hmmm...

Larry Brown had to deal with numberous injuries last year to his best player (Marbury) and Frye for extended periods. Nobody in the Knicks organization, meaning Isiah and Dolan, let him use that as an excuse so there's no reason to make excuses now for these injuries.

But I know Isiah will be talking nonstop about how unfair it is that they aren't "whole" and that you can't judge them until they are.

This is horrible news. I like Lee, but giving him 30 plus minutes a night in a starters role might expose him a little.

I expect a few things from Isiah now. Expect some four guard line ups and watch for James and Curry getting more minutes on the floor together
