Not Exactly

>>Sprewell was an all star at the peek of his career.

fish,mike - Spree was Public Enemy Number One coming off a suspension and tons of negative national press

>>Mo Taylor's career has been going downhill every year since he signed his big contract.

Mo was sat down by JVG the same way Camby was glued to the bench WITH Spree as sixth man. I can live with that. Let him play and lets see him in the context of orange and blue.

>>Mo Taylor is just a fat guy making tons of money with a lousy work ethic.

fish.mike - they ALL make tons of money. Besides, it ain't your money. What you got against fat people anyway? Mo is 20 pounds lighter than Sweetney and I don't see you calling HIM fat.

Especially to his face.

the one advantage mo has more than any of our other power forwards is his versatitlity on the offensive end. he is an awful defensive rebounder but a pretty decent offensive rebounder. he is arguably our most athletic power forward (tim thomas is our sf technically). he also demands doubleteams in the post. big key for our team.

Oh please, you guys are ready to jump on a bandwagon even when it has 3 wheels.

Mo Taylor is a guy who can score in the post, and thats where his game ends. He doesnt rebound, play d, and his outside shot is inconsistent. He is also fat and out of shape.

For the last time, he IS NOT an above average athlete. He cand dunk, so could Fatspoon, he is 6 8 you know, its not that hard.

Also, for going 4-1, thats bs, we have been playin some awful teams.
Our defense is still pathetic, we just were lucky enough to outscore some teams that did not seem to care.

The one time we ran into a decent team, they killed us.

So stop actin like you know more then the "media garbage", cause you know what, sometimes even they get something right. Especially considering they write a new point of view every day lol.

Teams get blown out in the NBA, that's just how it works. Riley's Knicks got blown out, Van Gundy's Knicks got blown out. I think the 90 Knicks had a knack for losing games right after a long rest period. So to make that your center point about whether the team improved itself is quite foolish.

Frankly, I will take the output he had versus the Warriors every night if he can provide that.....TT had 8rbs, that is a major story...

here is an advise to Mo: take the first half of games to do the dirty work (rebound and try to play good d), in the second half, dedicate it solely to scoring....By the time the game is over with, your stat will be 15/8rbs, no one will complain about that...

lol...unfortunately sports don't work that way...some games he'll get his #'s off the bench, some days it will be someone else...i know what you're trying to get at in terms of how he approaches the game, but you can't break things down in such simple terms.

I am not going to use the Magic game as a barometer of what our knicks truly is now. We are a much improve squad. What happened in Orlando happens to many teams. Most of us know that the Knicks have always underperformed after a brake. We came out and didn't execute our plays as we should have. We didn't get anything from our inside players, mainly because Marb and Crawf were so consumed at rushing the offense instead of trying to make the extra passes that have gotten us pretty good scoring...They went away from what has been successful. They forgot that TT was on a roll. Marb failed miserably to make the game simple for himself and the other guys....That is the reason we got embarrassed. We are a small team up front, and that is well known. However, 5 out of 17 shots from down range was definitely not called for...Blame the loss on poor shot selections and lack of energy from our boys....

Start Taylor and Sweetney PLEASE!!!

Reezy! Reezy! Reezy! I'm serious, I want him starting.

I did too but TT has recovered quite nicely from that vaginal injury!

i'm just really afraid that Taylor is going to start for Sweetney eventually then we'll get outrebounded every night.

but right now it looks like Taylor and KT will play the 4th quarters and not Sweetney
