Duhon's just plain tired. The guy is just out of gas. Pretend he's injured and sit him for a week, and then limit his minutes. He's a much better player than what we're seeing now, but he's too burnt out to play his best.

What is the point of sitting him now, the season is over and right now his poor play is a welcome sight. Its all about the draft and draft positioning.

gallo and wilson looked good again.. gallo displayed a nice escape dribble into a pullup jumper that is sweet..

wilson played with a lot of poise and took some really nice shots..

duhon looks like trash..

Hughes was a mess late.

2010 can't come fast enough....

Its obvious Duhon has hit the rookie wall.

Honorable of MDA to try and let him fight thru it but the pro schedule is just too much for him right now

Chris Duhon...Dookee for life!

the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

Duhon has hit the Rookie wall... that's a good call.

He should sit for a while honestly. When the season's over, I'm sure we'll hear that he's had some kind of injury for a while.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

LOL. D'Antoni has a lot to learn about substitution. This is all on the coach.

Don't you want them to tank? How do you know this isn't what their doing.

MDA is not looking to tank. Some fans may want the Knicks to do this, but all you have to do is look at MDA's face to know that he wants to win these games.

He has some major issues with Nate, though, undoubtedly about his decision making process. The same goes for Harrington, I think.

I do wonder how long it will be before he wants to strangle Duhon, who seems to have done a complete Jekyll and Hyde on us from the beginning of the year. It is OK for a rookie center like Lopez to have 5 turnovers in a game- it is not OK for a starting PG to have 6.

Bro, were you watching the game? How was that not a thrown game?

We had the Nets down, had the momentum, and then, oops, Nate and Al ride the pine for the rest of the game.

When have we ever not played Nate and Al down the stretch of a close game?

Playing QRich is not an indication that we're trying to win a game folks. It indicates just the opposite to me.

All of those empty possessions down the stretch... we would have been pretty likely to score on those if Nate and Al were in there.

We lost the key game to the Bobcats and now we're tanking... makes perfect sense to me.

If we stay in the top 9 of the draft we're guaranteed to get a serious player, if we get to the 15 range its going to be a crap shoot. I get it Donnie.

MDA is doing an awesome job of managing rotations right now... every loss helps this team more than any win does at this point... it's frustrating to see the team lose but when u look at the big picture u'll realize it's for the best.
