is davis that answer?

this year, at least.

Pres - Baron Davis is in a suit. You gotta dance with whachoo got and what we got ain't much.

These refs are really calling the little ticky tack fouls and nothing when we drive and draw contact!

WALKER!!!! He's got to stop turning the ball over. He makes more unforced TO's than a little bit. Shump has to come get the ball faster tho. He's not taking charge enough.

earl, true.

yet, that's part of the problem.

we are running a very inexperienced bunch at guard, outside the ghost of mike bibby, nor guys ready to consistently run a team.

we sadly will need davis i suspect.

i think it's very fair to say that since melo has returned from injury that he has looked like a different player and the knicks offense has looked 1000000X better. i don't think that's a knock on the way melo was playing pre-injury, dude was trying to carry the team because he's a gamer. i got no problem with that. glad he took a step back and figured out better ways he can get his offense going.

See how good JVG is. Criticizes Shump but also points out that he's been put in a tough spot. No summer league, no training camp---starting PG

Smartest move MDA made tonight is to bring Lin in early. Knicks looking good so far.

Come on, Knicks, let's GO!!!

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

I've only seen Rondo get into the paint twice...and both times missed the layup. I can dig it.

Count Melo in that and Chandler too. That's it.

If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

definitely.

this is what im trying to get you to understand about d'antoni.

i'm not a d'antoni apologist, i just dont think it's really fair to blame him (and that's what you'd be doing by firing him) for this early season mess. without a training camp to get these guys playing together and no pg to run the team, it's been a very steep uphill climb. the team looks like they MIGHT be starting to get it though.

I agree people who just blame d'antoni dont ealize that he is not the only problem

Of course. First guy to dive on the floor after a loose ball gets a standing ovation.
