Why does everyone hate Taylor so much? I really don't think he is as bad as some of you make him out to be. I have been watching the games and Taylor has had some nice moves in the post. This team doesn't have too many good post up players. The guy is not the answer but he can easily give us some important minutes if we need. I would rather see Lee or Frye in there but just because Larry plays Taylor that shouldn't mean we have the right to bash Taylor all day. Larry obviously has his reasons for playing the guy. Not asking to show love for the guy but no need to bash him. If we get a bad injury to one of our big guys, Taylor can become a very important piece to fill in and help us maintain in the standings.

Taylor played very well in the second game against Dallas. He was even referred to as unstoppable at one point. I have always seen the potential in him to be a good player and he showed it in that game by scoring (which we already knew he coudl do) but by also grabbing some rebounds and putting forth effort on the D. I was waiting to see if someone was gonna comment about his game, becuase he definitely played well out there, he has some nice moves.

Mo can play, but at this point we need our youth to have a chance to play. Between he and Rose, one of them has to go

B/c Mo Taylor makes Brian Gumble look like Malcolm X.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

bryant gumbel. Just goes to show that you don't know anything about the man to be dissing him.

There always has to be a scapegoat in New York. it's never personal

Maurice Taylor isn't that bad. He is a very skillfull offensive player. He's had some problems with injuries and some of them have been created by himself, like gaining lots of weight that isn't muscle. It just happens sometimes that players are maligned because they are "supposed to be better" or because they have big contracts. Similar situations are Juwan Howard and Keith Van Horn.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Taylor drastically underachieves relative to his skill level and deserves any bashing he gets

Maybe whatever skill level you have him at is just way too high. Who do you think he is supposed to play like? Kevin Garnett? Give the guy a break. Has he been completely outplayed at the 4 spot in preseason by the other knicks power forwards? What do you care how much money the Knicks are paying him? Is he making Juwan Howard or Van Horn money? I was not aware of that. I didn't realize it was that much.

So are you saying that the entire NY KNICKS team should be bashed and bashed and bashed and bashed and deservedly so?

Anyone who's paid any attention to my posts knows that I don't care how much guys are paid. (Since you asked: Taylor makes almost double annually what Juwan Howard makes.) Taylor's an out of shape player who just doesn't seem to care about the game. He used to be in better shape and able to average over 17 PPG. He has the skills to still be a 17 PPG player and the strength, timing, and speed (when in shape) to average 9 RPG if he ever put his heart into it.
Who do you think he is supposed to play like? Kevin Garnett? Give the guy a break.
He has the skills, just not the desire, to play almost as well as Zach Randolph or Carlos Boozer.

So are you saying that the entire NY KNICKS team should be bashed and bashed and bashed and bashed and deservedly so?
No the entire team shouldn't be bashed; The underachievers, formerly led by Tim Thomas but presently led by Mo Taylor, should though.

Mo is a good player but he is not head and shoulders better than Frye, Butler, and Lee.....(geez I've been running that,lol)

Mo is like a black hole anyway. He gets the ball and gets tunnel vision....he never passes.

Why did San Antonio sign Rose for so long? That city loves him....and he keeps talking about them so send him back, wtf? We don't need him with Antonio Davis here to be the veteran leader.

We must put a face failure.

Taylor for being too fat and injured, and rose for being short.

Frye was soft. Not anymore. Marbs was selfish on the court, but giving away 500k and some suits make him a better player of late. Craw is no longer a moron now that he has larry screwing him up. Not hes just "in training".

Larry is a moron cuz he is not set on his rotations. Eddie is not in shape yet, so his defense is not there. Jerome has yet to fill any potential, but since Isiah got him, he too will improve with conditioning. Just the fact that Isiah has graced him with a contract will be the hand of god that he needs to fulfil his potential.

Aquire is a genious, except we all too stupid to see it yet.

Nobody wants Taylor or Rose.

So can you guys PLEASE stop with the "Rose, Taylor for Ratliff, Miles" trades. Jeeze.


And no..... I won't elaborate on why Mo makes Brian Gumble look like Malcolm X. Go watch the Chapelle Show dummy.
