I would start Crawford at the point and Collins at the off. Collins is a big cat and him and Balkman would smother the perimeter. Nate gets a Barbosa-type role off the bench. I'd play Lee and and Randolph down low and trade Curry for a king-sized number 1, no mayo, onion rings, and a Dr. Pepper.

Curry is not your problem here. He shoots a high percentage on minimal shots. The problem is that he needs more shots somewhere around 15-20 shots a game and that is what Isiah was having a problem with is that his guards weren't getting him the ball enough. Isiah wants his guards to shoot less and a higher percentage and get the ball to Curry and Randolph, hustle back on defense and stick with their man if anything Isiah wants to help the guards on the defensive side of the ball Crawford and Marbury can't get that done. Thats is your problem. Isiah is finally taking care of the problem and finally coming around to admitting to mistakes made a little late but better late then never.

See, I disagree. If you NEED to get the player the ball, that's a problem. For example, it was typically pretty easy to get Patrick Ewing the ball, because he worked his ass off to gain position or would come 20 feet out and attack the rim or hit a fade away jumper.

Seems like a flawed idea to build around a one trick pony, or acollection of them. MSG is a stable chock full of these ponies. Isiah built the team like he was leading it... instead of properly identifying which players can succeed out on the court by themselves. There are a bunch of uneven players on the team with Randolph (and possibly, hopefully Lee... but not yet) being the possible exception, but I haven't seen enough to make that determination.
