Mismatched: No true PG, no SF that can consistently hit an outside shot.

I'm not saying that Larry doesn't make mistakes. But fire him in December? NFW.

Rich Someone has to hold him accountable...especially the press. He keeps making them look stupid. plus his players will rebel soon.

this is what I see as the biggest problem: Steph. He is the best guy on the team and the default leader. The team takes his tone. He came out fired up against Detroit and PHO, but nothing since really. He sulks. He doesn't take over a game. He has been OFF offenesively the whole year really. His D has SUCKED in the last 2 game. Zero effort. If he was a rookie, he would have been benched a LONG time ago.

Steph just makes dumb play after dump play. I have never seen a PG throw so many dumb passes. He doesn't know how to feed the post. He doesn't know how to recognize defense and mismatches.

I think it all starts with him.

I think he tried in the beginning. You could see how active he was on defense and even tried to be a leader. But Brown keep asking him to be a pass first PG, he felt out of the team when he wasn't helping them with his normal 20-8 and got frustrated. Went back to playing no D and stopped caring for his O. Losses keep mounting. He doesn't get to play his game. Can't play SG because there is no other PG. More losses. Larry keeps ommitting him as a contributor on this team. He passes and most people don't make the baskets. "All alone" all over again. He doesn't care anymore. LOst hope. Doesn't even care that he is playing for the Knicks. Doesn't care anymore about being a leader. Doesn't feel part of the team and wants out.

Maybe its that, maybe its another thing. The thing is that he doesn't seems to care anymore, and thats what's more frightening. This is getting uglier every minute...

You're seeing frustration. I also see that Steph is showing lack of interest-he is going through the motions. When did ever have asst/to ratio like he has this year. Reluctantly-Steph should be packaged-maybe part of an Artest deal.
