but KVH has averaged a lot more minutes during his career. If Tim got his kind of minutes he would average 7-8rebs a game. And he's because improving each year.

He's getting 30+ minutes this year and he's still not getting more than 5 boards per game. The guy just doesnt do a good job there. They're gonna have to preach to him that he needs to hit the boards. And about his improvement, you have to remember this guy has been in the league since 1997. He was supposed to improve last year since he became a starter, but he didn't. He's basically the same player he always was.

There is always the chance he can get better, but he's just as maddening as Van Horn. I just hope his D proves to be an upgrade. We can't afford to hide 3 players in the zone anymore.

The big upgrade is Nazr Mohammed. I liked Doleac but Mohammed is a very good offensive rebounder and he's a solid performer when given the minutes. At 27 he'll be a pretty good young center for us. Doleac was probably gonna want to walk next year anyway. Hopefully Mohammed starts. Mutumbo has helped, but you can't play him against every team.

Hopefully the adjustment period for this trade won't be too long. We are playing good basketball right now, and I don't want that too change.

You should post a link where he was quoted saying that. It's always a good thing to get players that want to be a Knick. I always said that if Stephon ever came to the Knicks, he'd play better than he ever has in his career. If TT said that, then the same prediction applies. Watch him step up BIG TIME in NY. That trade is gonna look like a steal. Some are already calling it that.

I understand why Hardcore has not been here in a while, but he should come back and join the misery. We all have suffered in our own ways. No gloating, just cough up the feathers and rejoin the back.
