misterearl wrote:The Recipe To Regroup (ten reasons to take a chill pill and enjoy the rollercoaster)

1. Until Carmelo slips a Knicks jersey over his head, stop coveting and salivating over his services. Chill people. Enough with the trades.

2. John Havlicek made a living by moving on the offensive end. The fact Fields is non-stop is a good thing, not a negative. Enjoy watching him grow. Did anyone notice that Landry is shooting 56 per cent from the Fields?

3. Amar'e has the most difficult adjustment of all. The spotlight is much brighter in New York than in Phoenix. Forget the pick and roll. Pick and pop him like Kurt Thomas.

4. (part 2) Amar'e needs help inside. Let Mozgov play until he fouls out. The young Russian has more size, quickness, intensity and desire than any center since Marcus Camby.

5. Danilo Gallinari is putting up Chris Duhon-like numbers @ 35 per cent from the floor. He can only improve.

6. DWTDD

7. The Mayor played despite having a tooth knocked out, but David Lee is the warrior? C'mon Son! GTFOHWTB

8. How can anyone be disenchanted with yoot Anthony Randolph after 60 minutes of playing time?

9. We miss Ronny Turiaf more than we admit

10. Mark Jackson is still available

I hear ya, but just because we didn't do the right thing for our players in the past shouldn't mean we should continue with that trend. I have no issues with Lee getting a little love.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

"Despite everything, the Knicks have shown promise. They are among the league leaders in steals and blocks, and at times play inspired defense. Although they fell behind by 19 points on Wednesday, they just as quickly erased the deficit. Had the offense been better down the stretch, they might have won the game." - Howard Beck, NYT


loweyecue - totally agree. A little love is never a bad thing but C'mon Son!

That slurp fest on Wednesday was WAY over the top and you know it.

As much as Al Harrington made his wish to return home apparent when he was with he Pacers, embraced the city when he finally arrived, and played his heart out when he was on the court wearing a Knicks uni...there is not one ounce of remorse for his departure. Not an ounce. And I loved David Lee from draft night, when nearly everyone was scratching their heads about Isiah's selection at 30.

It's time to let go of the less-than-glorious past with good guys David Lee, Malik Rose, Jared Jeffries and good guys Frank and Scott Layden. Sure Lee was a great citizen, but if we are giving out citizenship awards lets not overlook the new Knicks who make appearances, sign autographs and who are good guys off the court.

Want good citizens?

Let's start with Ray Felton, Amar'e, Landry Fields, Timofey Mozgov, Toney Douglas and Gallo. Let's talk about Anthony Randolph.

Correction: As of 4:48 PM, November 12, 2010 The David Lee Slurp Fest Is not, I repeat, NOT over

NYPost:

"Warriors' Lee out two weeks with injury suffered against Knicks: report"

Brandan Wright, who started in Lee’s place in a loss to the Bulls, is expected to continue to play in place of the former Knick.

Meanwhile, Landry Fields continues to show signs of being a legit NBA baller

Earl I agree David isNt a knick and I think everyone is happy. I am glad Walsh wasnt smart to offer 5 hrs 40 million when David was a REstricted free agent because he would taken the security. Knicks were classy the other night and right now lee and the knicks both have bigger problems. lee is in surgery and the knicks improved defensive team just had Kevin love get 30 rebounds.

8 mil per year? I am sure Lee and his agent woulda had a nice laugh over that offer.

King,

What I don't understand is why Lee did not go to the doctor the same night he tore up his arm. reports say he woke up with the infection much worse the next day. It was obvious that he was hurt badly and he was bleeding through all those bandages. Insight please.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Thats sick that the Knicks couldve had Lee for 8mm per and declined. This is just turning into round 3 of Layden Thomas and now unfortunately Walsh. I think Isiah still has caused problems but Walsh is the man in the seat.

RIP Crushalot😞

Why would I do that if I can just get 80 per 6 years instead of 40 per 5 ? From what I remember 12-13 was Lee's price last season and last summer he got it. Not very surprising.

If you get bitten by another person where your skin is broken you are given shots to prevent hepatitis, hiv, and other things. It is a big deal and the infection is extremely painful.

Returning Mozgov to the starting lineup is a start.

Amar'e Stoudemire is closer to a small forward than he is a center and should never, EVER play center again. If there is any alternate lineup that should be considered when facing large frontlines it could include the following shiftline:

6'2 Douglas/ Ray Felton, I don't care which one
6'7 Fields
6'10 Stoudemire
6'10 Turiaf, until 6'11 Anthony Randolph finds his groove
7' Mozgov, the 7' Jamaican Jerome Jordan would make a spicy backup if he matures

Eddy Curry, please please pick up he orange courtesy phone

They should at least let Mosgov play in the fourth when they need a big man in the paint.
