The chucking hypothesis seems likely. He was out there for 11 minutes and put up 6 shots, and only hit 1 of them. Over 40 minutes, that's roughly the equivalent of going 4-24. In other words, taking lots of shots while you're on the floor and not hitting most of them.
I think when you are the NO Hornets, you won 18 games last year, you have an aging PF in Brown and another C in Magliore who wants to leave, I think that if Lampe puts up 23-12-2,he earned 35 minutes the next game. Just like Channing, as a Knick fan I believe both HE and Jackie Butler EARNED time in the next game, and I dont mean a cameo. Channing should get 30-35 and Butler atleast 20. Like Isiah said, best 5 play. So far Butler Frey Curry and Taylor and have been the best 4 up front. I really believe Butler has outplayed Lee. He is not flashy, but the guy is HUGE and knows where to position himself with long arms, and a nice touch. He's definitely a guy who I would be locking up on the cheap for a few years.
