Do people still think Q is our best defender?

Notice our starting lineup is getting us back in the game. This is the main reason why Lee should not start over Zach

What do you say during the infinite amount of times the starters start off slow?
Do you think if Lee was in there the Knicks would have started off fast?


BigC you can only judge the known not the unknown, bottom line the starters have dug us in more holes to start than one can count. And this dates back a couple seasons.

Holfresh youhave a guy you cant pay and he can help you get something we need a perimeter defender. Balkman can do what Lee is doing and then you get a big time SF.

I'm sorry, did you say the Knicks can't pay Lee?

QRich is useless right now. He does not need to be playing starters minutes.

The defense really REALLY needs to be addressed. I don't care what team it is. You don't give up near 70 points at home in 24 minutes.

Name one team in the NBA that has to 65 million dollar players and a 45 million dollar player it doenst make sense for them to do that. We need someone that can guard on the perimeter

We have to be patient with Q...If his back is good, we have to let him play the rust off...The season is young...let him play...tough to watch tho...

Why let him play if he's hurt and hurting us on the court. Let him sit so we can get him healthy.

Q's rust will wear off just in time for him to shut it down again.

Name one NBA team that has the payroll of the Knicks...Lee isn't going anywhere...He is good for the team for what he brings to the game..He is good for the corporate because he is a fan favorite...I really believe if Lee desires to play defense he will be an allstar....Be he is more worried about his offense and his 15 footer...

Q back is only good 20 times in a 82 games season. NOt to mention Q has yet to play 55 plus games for us. Unless Q has bionics I doubt his back will get better.

I'd rather see Balkman instead of Q. Previously Q was at least semi decent offensively, but now he just hoists up 3s. Most of the time they don't go in and he gets burned on Defense because he has slowed down. Q can defend in the post, because he has the size, but on the wing he is worthless. The position he guards are almost always the best player. Balkman needs more time so that he can learn to play aggressive without picking up fouls.

Unfortunately we're pretty thin at the 3. Our backups at 3 dont have 3-pt range. Teams would still respect a gimp q at the 3 rather than Balkman.

When it comes times to talk dollars, believe me Lee will have options. It is not set in stone that he will remain a knick especially if he can't get playing time, when many in the league feels that he should be starting.

With all that is said about the Knicks lack of play in the first half and most of it I agree with, the Knicks are a different team this year...Looking at the first half, the Knicks can play with Denver...Last year at the Garden, Denver was clearly a superior team...Denver is still better but the gap has closed...I think it's because of Zack.....

Looks like a 250 point game. We're already 126. Still, though, too many points to surrender at home in one half.

Zach is the difference. He is also 3 out of 4. With all these turnovers and the Knicks are still in the game. If Denver wants to win they should just let Iverson score all day and let Camby and Nene rebound.
