Fish,,,,,you like Crawff don't you? forget about Crawff for a minute and think about the team. Crawff will be a decent player one day, but he is not ready now. If you are a true Knick fan, you will value Ws over acrobatic plays. Our best logical lineup is Marb, Q, Ariza or Lee, Frye and Curry....
And if you have watched the Knicks since they made the Marbury trade you would have noticed something. The reason they got Crawford in the first place was teams were doubling MArbury at half court and takingthe ball out of his hands.
The 2nd ball handler was a bad option and didnt do a good job to initiate the offense. It resulted in lots of turnovers. It took the ball out of MArbury's hands and forced him to work harder just to get it. That how Frank Williams wound up playing next to him in the playoffs.
You put that line up of Q at SG and Ariza at SF out there and you will see more of the same. Until the Knicks get a forward that can really handle the ball like a Walker or Pippen type then your stuck. So Crawford starts in the backcourt with him. If you are a true Knick fan you will realize we need Crawford to take the pressure off Marbury and keep the offense from stopping at half court where it does when you only have one ball handler. If you hate Crawford that much put Nate out there. Or if you want the ball walked up court then go with Q, but your taking the ball out of Marbury's hands. I would think any true Knick fan would see this :)
