Just after watching the first two preseason games there are a few questions that need to be answered.
1. Is Jeffires going to be out awhile with his injury?
2. Will the two rookies get in the rotation this year
3. What big man makes the team will it be Brown or Miller?
4. Will Jalen play any this year and if not will he be a cancer?

I have a feeling Jeffires may miss some time, and who knows when Snacks and Malik will be back. The rookies have a chance for clock because they both will play defense. I think Brown may be the guy that makes the team and I dont see Jalen getting any clock this year.

Oh man! Jeffries looked great in the first game and I was flying high since I was one of the very few people who was happy about the signing. I mean I had been asking for the guy since summer of 05, cmon Jared get back and play well for us!

What's wrong with Jared? It could just be pre-season injuries. Same ones kidd, Vince, dalembert, and webber had. Nothing serious I hope.

I think balkman will get a lot of time off the bench. He is everything that we wanted out of ariza. Balkman absolutely fits everything that isiah is trying to do this season.

The knicks should really go with a 10 man rotation. Should be frye, Jared, curry, marbs, Franny, Q, lee, Nate, craw and balkman. With the running style 10 guys are gonna have to come out to keep everyone fresh. Knicks do a lot of running around even in the half court sets. Awesome man. Can't wait till it counts.

kinda like the Bulls? I would be one board with that for sure... guys gotta play 100% while they are out there. Skiles doesnt have to deal with some of the personalities Isiah does. Should be interesting

Does any website have an official update on Jefferies? I checked nyknicks.com and they had nothing.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT!!! It's so clear that a 10 man rotation will be great for this team. It allows some of our better hustle and defensive guys to get more run and limits the Steph and Francis combo. Not that I don't like them, but it's probably our weakest backcourt combo defensively. Since we are so deep why not make full use of that. With 20 back to backs and those Western Road trips being deep and playing 10 will be a good thing for this team.

There's really no need for Jalen, Malik or JJ1 in the rotation at least not on any regular basis. It's almost a GOOD thing that James and Malik are hurt right now. It kind of forces us to go with our best players.

Collins, Malik, and who ever we pick up (Miller or Brown) will be on the inactive list all season. Jalen will probably be the 11th man, and JJ1 will be the 12th man. We go with a 10 player rotation and try to run teams off the court. Forty-eight (48) minutes of h*ll needs to be the game plan. Make teams work chasing us around on offense and apply pressure on defense and force teams to put their second unit up against ours. Our second unit will dominate 90% of the second units in the league.

Nothing. I just think King thinks Curry will eat him or something during the season.

Now for a dose of reality he done gone and went and broken his wrist.
