if only houston had hit just ONE or TWO jumpers

I don't care if it's Lenny's fault or not, fire his ass.

Marbury had to take control of the game at some point...and he didn't. Houston didn't help either.

yeah it might not be lenny's fault but we need a coach who is not afraid to bench guys for not coming in ready to play. It's not about lenny, it's about needing a different STYLE of coaching.

Unfortunatly there was no one else to put in tonight.

and another thought: we couldn't even stop dickau + nailon tonight, that goes to show you the state of our defense

h20 shot us outta this game.
marbury didn't takeover when he needed to.
jyd is solid but you can clearly see he was tired by the end of the game - he can't keep up those type of minutes.
kurt and nazr - ZERO impact.

bad loss.

oh well - another game saturday @ the suddenly rejuvenated chicago bulls...doesn't look good.

btw, this is the first time in a while we alternated wins and losses.

With Crawford, the Knicks win this game. He can have and X factor effect on games. Marury cannot be on every night and neither can Houston. But One of 3 can be.

The Knicks are not a very good team right now.

it goes to show you how important crawford, sweetney, and tim are to the team and how h20 is just not ready yet.

But if injuries are the factor here, what about the Hornets? We need a leader (that can think), starting from the coach.

Houston & Marbury go 10 for 30.

Our problem is a productive SF and a gimpy SG. Once Houston is fully healed we will be OK. Once IT gets a SF then we will be cool. Nazr is not the problem. KT is not a problem. Right now our 2 and 3 is a problem. Our SG has a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of Allan and/or Jamal. JYD is a great bench player. As a starter he is not the answer.

Ha ha ha! Should Marbury and every other Knick that talks about how NY isn't a .500 team and that they are trying to win a championship please shut up and start winning? Its a great thing that this team lost a game like this because they believe they are so good they don't have to perform, but a sorry team like the Hornets comes in ready to play and defeats them. You don't believe you are a .500 team? Then show it! You can definitely win games like this one without Craw and TT. There is no excuse to this loss only that this "team" isn't really caring for winning. They talk a lot, but if they performed as much as they talk, they would have a really better record. Who wouldn't have low expectations with a team that has the guns to be better but does nothing with them because they don't try their hardest? This gam,e would've been a loss even with TT and Craw because they didn't care to stand up to play the Hornets.

Maybe its like Lenny said: "A .500 team? Maybe we are worse..."
