crawford has no role on this team other than to do what lb tells him. just by seeing how we're NOT running plays for him offensively tells me more and more that lb WANTS to use him as a pg and as long as steph is here, he won't be able to. so now, crawford, currently, has no role. and if you noticed, it was AFTER the sonics game where he decided to go inside/out almost everytime down court. he doesn't want crawford shooting. he wants him playing the point and setting up plays.

for crawford to be 100% comfortable here, he will have to START at pg, but lb won't do that b/c he can't play steph at sg. it sucks to say but ultimately, one of them will have to go and chances are, it'll probably be steph.

I think all of killa's points come into play but i think the greatest is the lack of a defined role. On realgm his sister (who doesn't give out much inside info at all) was sorta insinuating that something was gonna have to give. it would have to be whatever was best fr the team of course, but the implication was that jamal was not happy as things stood.

I think jamal is naturally streaky, but I don't think he's naturally timid, which is how he's playing -same can be said for Steph- so I think they are both suffering from confusion, and from Brown breaking down their egos before building them up again.

I kinda think see these guys as something like playdough which has been in one shape for some time and developed a stiff outer crust which makes them rigid (old habits and patterns of behavior) but with a soft inner pliability, and Brown is trying to bust them up to rid them of the rigidity, then he will work with what is that which is pliable.

It's an easier process with the kids as he doesn't have to break off the outer crust to begin with.

if you haven't noticed.. Crawfords been limping for three games..
I think his knee is bothering him. His first step and elevation are gone. This is something I've watched, and speculation.. but I think he's hurt.

WOW! I sure hope thats not true.

Larry, Larry, Larry......

Guys need to know their roles and they need to get consistant minutes. Guys don't know what they should be doing. There is no game plan. I watched the re-cap last night........can anyone tell me what the Knicks game plan was? You can't tell me it was just try and stop the Bucks from scoring?!?!?!?!

All Larry talks about is defense and making the extra pass. How about running an offense where guys know they are playing and where they should be and who is going to get the ball and shoot? Defense has to do more with communication and chemistry. The team would play defense if they were clicking on offense. The Knicks have no clue.

Tell me why Frye should have had more than 30....more like 40+. It seesm like they stopped going to him. The f'ing guy was having a historic night. Then all of a sudden they stop going to him.

Craw? Poor guy probably don't even rememeber his name anymore. If Craw is comign off the bench he needs to be shooting the ball. They need to run plays for him and feature him when he comes in.

Larry is still playing mind games. He needs to stop playing around and go with what works on offense and attack teams. The defense will come.
