6-6 when Lee Starts and 7-15 when he doesnt start. Last year he was about .500 when he started. Is that pure coincidence or is the Knick closer to a .500 team when he is in the lineup?

amen. I'd like to see the difference in Curry's scoring average when Lee starts this year - I don't think it's a coincidence that Curry and the team plays better when Lee is out there. We need him to set the tone early in the game.

I don't see Lee starting this year unless Isiah is fired. Isiah is too busy trying to save face with Jeffries/Frye. And even if Lee does start we won't win because of the whacked out 11-12man rotations won't allow this team to ever become cohesive

I don't buy the theory that Isiah is starting Jeffries & Frye to get them going. Isiah is doing everything he can to not look stupid for putting so much stock into those 2 guys because he could careless about NY and its fans he only cares about his ego. If he is than he already has a deal in place with Dolan for an extension. If his job was truly on the line he would be playing his best players.

Dont you think Isiah would look even more stupid at seasons end by getting fired all because he 'as you seem to indicate' he's putting winning second in order to justify a FA signing and a lotto pick by starting them over better players?

Good points above by everyone.

David lee brings energy, hustle, and just a back to get most rebounds that come his way. As a new Yorker, that's what we love. That's what these knicks have lacked.

How is a guy averaging a double double off the bench overrated?

If frye was getting Troy Murphy numbers as a starter (cuz that's what Frye is) then lee would have to enjoy the bench. Frye is not Troy Murphy. He could be one day but he could also be Danny schayes.

Lee is averaging a double double in year 2 of his career off the bench.

I think its time to change the script isiah. Jared is your boy but is not even better than balkman. Frye is a puss and he has displayed that all through year 2. Q is damaged goods.

So what the **** is isiah gonna do about it?

clearly an ego trip, isiah went out and acquired jeffries given up on ariza, he's given jefferies the starting in hope to redeem himself and make the acquisition look good.

IT is delusionall...
