Before Brown got here, he was known as a coach who constantly nagged GM's and whined about his players. I think, Brown is taking a SHOW not TELL approach with the Knicks. Brown knows this team is seriously flawed, so I think he is sabotoging the Starting line-up on purpose, as a way to SHOW Isiah what this team needs.

Why else would he start Nate at the 2? Think about it. Its absolutely no reason why Crawford can't start over Nate. But I think Brown is just that coniving and ingenuis to pull something like this. Nate and Marbury are the smallest starting backcout in the NBA. This makes it obvious that the Knicks need a legit Shooting guard (with legit Sg size and can actually shoot.)

Browns refusal to put Craw in the startig lineup is SHOWING Isiah that Craw is indeed a sixth man. Craw is too incosistant to be a starter. He's the perfest sixth man. When he's rolling, leave craw in the game, when he's not, you put him back on the bench.

Also, Brown has 2 legit Sf's on the roster yet neihter of them are playing. Ariza is 6'8 and Q2 is 6'8 220. Instead, Brown insist on playing an undersized Pf at Sf to highlight the need for a legit Sf. By not playing Ariza, he's SHOWING Isiah that your precious gem that you thought you found in the second round is years away.

Lastly, why else has he put Frye back on the bench? Davis isn't doing much. Well, its because he's showing everyone that regardless of all the hoopla surrounding Frye, he is waaaay behind defensively, and may never turn into the Allstar Pf everyone thiks he can become.

I wouldn't put it passed Brown to pull something like that. It's ingenious if you ask me.

It's mind games that I was worried about with Larry Brown before we got him.....it's just Brown is on a roll this season.

I like Craws role to tell you the truth......I wish Q could get healthy cuz he is the answer at the 2 spot. Dude just can't make a shot right now.

As far as the 3 spot.....I think we all knew that was our main weakness. David Lee is a nice player but the Knicks need a more offensive player to man the starting three. David Lee is a combo forward off the bench.

The Knicks have the chips but what was taking Brown so long to get the starting line-up together.....by now Isiah could have made the right changes to the roster. Since he did it late now we have to wait till Feb or till the off-season which sucks.....

i think larry doesn't like q1 at all. i mean, even with steph injured, he's going with craw and nate starting, effectively leaving the bench without a ball handler.
