I have no problem with Jeffries starting but he should be starting at SF, with QRich at SG and Lee at PF. I knew Jeffries would play well and would add the things to this team that he added tonight with his defense and hustle offensive mentality. I'm happy he backed me up on that

They played the worst team without the top two players.

No doubt the competition wasn't there. I think Jeffries should be starting but not in place of Lee, Lee should be starting at PF with Jeffries at SF and QRich at SG.

You can't take a whole lot from this game because of the competition but I'm happy with the way Jeffries played.

I don't think it really makes a difference if Lee starts are or not at this point. Lee's defense has looked horrible for a couple of games.

It will be interesting to see what Jeffries can do. However I must say watching Jeffries all these years don't expect him to able to do anything but play defense and pass the ball.

I think Jefferies play so far tonight shows why he belongs in starting lineup. He kind of reminds me of Camby in that he is long a lanky and doesn't need any plays. It's not a slight to Lee to not start him or Isiah not seeing the bigger picture. It's just Jefferies is a better fit for the starting lineup. Besides Lee is prone to defensive lapses and turnovers.

Exactly. This is why I made my comments before the game. I thought it was ridiculous for people to start saying that Jeffries should not start over Lee, When the truth is Lee does not play d. He is a rebounding machine, but defense is something the Lee is lacking. With Lee starting it give our team some balance in the starting lineup. Now you have Q and Jeffries that can play defense.

The Hawks might have been a horrible team, however if you remember the Boston game Jeffries was really the main reason we got back into the game. The Knicks were getting blown by 30 until Jeffries played the remain of the game. Then the Knicks started coming back slowly.

no one ever doubted Jefferies should be starting... David Lee should be starting at the 4 w/Jefferies at the 3 & Q at the 2... that in most people's minds is our best lineup.

When are people going to stop buying into one game things? He looked good starting at the 4 tonight but that doesn't mean anything. Let him show this over a few games before being sold. Did you catch the line from Gus Johnson(I think) when he said "noone should expect this type of effort out of Jefferies every night."?

Do I hope he continues to play like this? Absolutely.(and preferably at the 3 next to Lee).

Speaking of "benching", did anyone notive Isiah giving Marbury the quick hook in the first quarter after his sluggish play?

Nate come in.

Marbury comes back in the second with the message received.

Jeffries gives the Knicks frontcourt variety of structure.

Knicks win.

isiah is beginning to coach again, whenever he is active in the play calling and animated on the sidelines, the knicks put in a supreme effort.

I think marbury is beginning to bring it back and it's Zeke that's pushing the right buttons.

I'd still like to win the all of next 3 games before I believe for sure.
Let's go Knicks. That's amare

win all 3? WOW. @ Pacers, Nuggs, Jazz? WOWOW. 1-2 and 2 close losses and you might call it a good 3 game effort.

So only when the coach is animated can the Knicks put in a supreme effort? WOWOW.

Marbury still looks like **** to me.

If we win 2 of the 3, that would be good. If we beat Utah, that would be fantastic. I just want the team to continue to improve. Jeffries really seems to help the defense. Hopefully, that can continue.

I didn't say I was buying into Jeffries because of last night. All I was saying is after all the "Savior" back handed remarks since about last friday, that was just about the prefect game to play. LOL

I hope he does it most nights and I whole heartedly believe that effort could have won the knicks atleat 3 extra games. But is there any sarcastic remarks left about what this,"Career 4 rebound and 6 point over paid bum" can bring to this team????
