Man, I can finally post after a game, I did my best to not post the usual after a loss ramble so far this year, and it has been 5 losses, you gotta give me credit lol.
Seriously though, Marbury might have played his best game as a Knick. He is looking more and more like Billups out there ever day. He is finally learning when to shoot and when to pass. If he can GET IT, there is no limit to how far he can take his game.
Frye is awesome apparently, IT may have really thought he was the best big man. He is def PF though. And you know what, at PF he is an insane mismatch. He is faster, taller, and for many, stronger then your average PF, since he has played C all his life. And he has a seemingly limitless array of moves. And to top it all of, we finally have a pick and roll PF who actually JUMPS on his JUMPshots. So you know, a freakin PG can't block him if he is withing 6 feet of him. Good riddance to KT's dumbest lookin set shot that needed 10 feet of separation and a minute of setup time lol.
Ariza is def best of the bench. Say what you will, but having a guy like that coming of the bench is key. He is like Camby during the 99 playoff run. He comes in and you know something great will happen. This team def needs an energy boost of the benc once in a while, and thast what Ariza is. Starting him would just put to much pressure on his yet underdevloped offensive game. He has to develop some kind of range first, to at least keep the D ohnest, and hopefully a go to move in the post like Prince. Untill that you gotta protect his confidence by keeping him as a 6th man.
Rose, well, I'v said it before and I'll say it again, he BLOWS! I dunno why he is playing so much. Maybe he is playin really good D and we are not noticing. I dunno. I hate to argue with Brown. I'm sure he knows more about bball then all of us combined. Maybe he is trying to show IT how bad Rose is. I just don't know what to say about this one.
Good to see Q hittin open treys. We need that from him. Actually thats the only thing we need from him. Hopefully the hamstring is gone and he will return to his usual form and will the outside thread in our starting linup.
Craw with an awesome game. This is what he was supposed to be. A 3rd guard of the bench, instant offense. Keep running plays for him, he is seems to be using the screens better. If he can conintue to hit the open 3 as well, he will give us a 2nd outside threat, which is huge.
Final suggestion, since we are missin out on shooting, why not play Frye more? He is prolly our best midrange shooter. Just like KT was. We should use him with Curry to spread the floor. I'm tellin you Curry and Frye together if each plays to their potential is gonna be that tandem of a postup center with a shooting PF who can rebound and block shots ans run the floor.
Lineup of the future: Curry/Butler Frye/Lee Ariza/Barnes or whoever Qrich/Craw Marbury/Nate
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?
