Man, he looked good, didn't he? I didn't think he'd make the 15-man, although after last night, you figure he's gotta be in contention for that last spot. I'd like to keep and develop all of our end-of-the-bench guys but in particular, they need to hold onto Trice and TA imo. Tough decision all of a sudden -- TA won't accept a DL spot unless he makes the team and his contract is picked up/guaranteed for the season and now all of a sudden, I feel if Trice doesn't make it, we may lose him--I think some team would scoop him up as a backup or 3rd PG on their 15-man. May never even make it to Westchester.. Trice isn't Chris Paul or anything but he's an NBA player. I bet pound for pound he could give us more than Calderon could at this point. Too bad the amount players are owed usually dictates who makes a team and who plays. In a perfect world, I'd take Trice on this team over Calderon in a heartbeat. Dude reminds me of a poor man's Mike Bibby. Nice player.

I believe that Trice has one of those partially guaranteed contracts that allows us to stash him in Westchester but from the small sample that I saw he might already be our best pure point guard. As you can tell he really impressed me!

Pretty sure this is also true for Saunders and Atkins. I think Berman had an article that explained it a number of weeks ago.

Not able to see the second half (watching the Mets), but I'm going to have to check out his time on the floor.

How did he look in terms of size and on defense?

however, if kp plays with second unit, you have a lot of defensive length with galloway, grant and kp.

like i said, i think it's a win-win.

Nope KP should NOT start.

A. He has NOt earned to start
B Oquinn has and right now hes the much superior player--maybe better than anyone thinks

I think we might be best pairing Admundson with Kristaps on unit 2. In fact I know it.

He may be the best fit with the starting unit though.

Trice was tenacious on defense. Agressive and stayed with his man. Fought through picks and is a strong young man. Very aware and in position. If he goes to Westchester I predict that he will make a triumphant return.

It probably won't happen but that's what I saw

I can agree with this. It's all on Fisher. If he is coaching without prejudice this is how it should be. If he's placing any type confidence in Lance Thomas I will be infuriated

Can't say he was an unknown because of his tournament performance, but I'm surprised he was not picked up at the end of the second round.

Interesting player to watch if he stays with the Knicks and plays in Westchester.

Think I'm going to check out a replay of the second half now.
