nyk4ever...

we've been seeing a lot of that from him lately.

that first play he got called for a charge, he faked a jumper and went to the basket.

he has clearly made adjustments to his game since the terrible start.

We have some pieces and obviously adding LeBron on this squad probably puts you at range of being a 50 win team, but that won't be enough to entice LeBron.

In a perfect world I would like to trade Jeffries, keep Curry's contract for one more year, and then sing LeBron and Joe Johnson in the offseason. Sign Lee to a hometown discount (hopefully)with an extra year, and go in next year with Duhon, Johnson, James, Lee, and Gallinari as your starting lineup. Hope Hill develops and he and Chandler are you first two off the bench and then either trade Curry's contract next year or sign a point guard in 2011 with the additional money you saved.

no doubt Ike. I absolutely love the way Chandler is playing the last 2 weeks, he's taking a lot of midrange jumpers and taking it to the hoop ALOT more and is even playing much better defense. I don't know who gave him a talking to, but someone did and they deserve a raise lol.

I agree with you for the most part. I don't know if we're going to have enough cap-room to sign 2 MAX FA's but I do think we'll have enough to sign LeBron and then a very good player. The key will be Jeffries/Curry and I just don't know what's going to happen there.

Recovery Room

Chandler took a cortisone shot yesterday for his ankle which is still not right.

Doris was right. The more he gains reps, the more The Mayor adds to his scoring average.

i don't think any of us fans know what will "entice" lebron to come here right now.

it's too early in the season to know much. a month ago we were a league wide joke at 1-9.

what will we be like at the end of the year? i have no clue, but that's when it becomes a bit clearer. even more so after the playoffs.

there are so many other factors to consider, and none of us know jack.

we'll just see what happens.

i know that won't stop from the assertions, but i guess it won't stop me from trying to ask folks to give it up.

If we have enough to sign LeBron and one of his buddies (Johnson preferably, or Bosh but that would mean Lee probably goes bye bye) AND have Curry's contract to come off the books as well to show to him, I really think he would find it too tough to pass up.

jeffries has a much better shot of being traded...

Professionally Speaking

PresIke - In separate comments, Doris noted how strong Gallo was to the rack, that he was more than a three point shooter and added rhythm to the Knicks offense.

She talked about David Lee in glowing and intelligent terms. No overhype. Just the facts about his adding to his game gradually with the jump shot being the "finishing touch". Outstanding knowledge of Lee as a rookie and where he is currently. You don't get that brand of sophisticated analysis from Cliff Notes. She has done her homework.

I want to marry her tomorrow.

yep yep, earl.

you can tell she's actually done her homework (i wrote that without even realizing you used the same word..haha), versus what we hear from all too many other announcers in the league.

"I honestly think if we kept this team in tact and just added (add star here) we'd be pretty nasty."

Exactly. This squad is becoming a team with a playing personality.

Jonathan Bender was tripped. Nice to see him back and attacking the rim after his hip strain/ bruise.

i should have watched msg for halftime...

i'm guessing it would have been much more informative

other than espn's hype for the other games today and pretty empty comments by jalen.

i miss steven a. smith (if you can believe it).

tnt is clearly much better at halftime reports
