Knicks would be very much competitive with better guard play. The missed FT's also are making it look worse. Raps are not that much better. It's Lowry vs Jose that is the only real difference.

If my aunt had.....

How about trying Jose/AA off the bench and giving them one long stint like that. Neither seems to play well when they get 2 stints in a half. The other thing is unless KP is in foul trouble, we have to play him at Center when Lopez is sitting. We need that speed.

Lopez/Porzingis
Porzingis/Thomas
Melo/Williams
Vujacic/Afflalo
Galloway/Calderon

Yes, I'm at the point where I'd start Sasha and Gallo, just because the two of them are more balanced in their shoot/pass mentality. Jose is all pass, no shot. Afflalo is all shot, no pass. Ironically neither Afflalo or Jose are great at shooting or passing. Then defensive effort, I like what Galloway/Sasha do more on that end as well.

Rambis needs to make a change in the rotation and lineup. Too much narrow minded thinking going on. This is a team 9, 10 games under .500 - changes in the rotation and starters are necessary.

Heck no; it's always open season on our pointless point guard.

Calderon has 0 points and 1 assist... He has 2 turnovers that led to 4 points. Plays zero defense... Why is he playing 24 minutes a game but JG can't get on the court?

Oh boy another one that just doesn't get it.

Please explain .. what part of a 2-12 record in the last 14 games i dont get?

Since Jose came back in at the 5 minute mark, Lowry has gone on a rampage and they have pulled away. I just hope Rambis learns from his mistakes, unlike Fish.

Here's one.

Hahahahaha this is so funny to me. I want Jose gone as much as the next guy but you're acting like K.Lowry....the all star only plays good when he's playing against Jose......am i in the twighlight zone or do some just not understand how good Lowry is???

Are you serious, man? Jose made Donald Sloan look like an all-star against the Nets! He makes every point guard in the league look good. He stinks. He can't defend. He doesn't shoot. He doesn't penetrate. We are garbage when he plays big minutes. Get off it already.

You were the biggest Fish supporter and apologist and now he's gone. Now you're stuck on Jose like he's any good. He's terrible. Do you want the knicks to win or what?

WTF are you talking about??? Please show me the part that i said Jose was good?? I'll wait. All i did was defend your stupid post that you made it sound like Lowry only plays good against Jose and that's all i did. Jose is the worst defender at PG in the NBA....SHOCKER. Do you think anyone that watches the game of basketball doesn't know that??? SMDH

Where did I say that Lowry only plays well against Jose? Who doesn't know he's an all-star caliber point guard? But when he goes up against the worst defending point guard in the NBA, he will have a much easier time having his way and getting to the rim. What's so hard to understand about that?

And if you agree that Jose is the worst defending PG in the NBA, (there's no way anyone sane can argue that one) then why is he still the starter playing starter minutes? Gallo is not a point guard but is infinitely better defensively than Jose. Even Grant with his size and athleticism is much better. Jimmer, who can't defend a lick either, would at least be aggressive--try to break down the defense and look for his shot--thus being a threat on the court (something Jose hardly ever is) and would be better.

You have argued all year that Jose is the best option we have as a starter. This is just inaccurate. He's not. He makes us worse. Nothing against him personally, this is where he is in his career.

But ,then again, you were the only one making excuses for Fish's putrid coaching all year up until he got justly canned, so it just shows how much (or little) you know about basketball.
