Not just one person, not just about Marbury or Frye or Curry or that we should have taken Marcus Williams instead of Balkman (Which we should have.)

But when I look at this starting lineup, I see a lot of talent, but get scarred as a Knicks fan, b/c the defense is poor at 4 positions, on help and man to man. You take our backcourt, and saw guys posterizing Marbury and Francis on a regular basis in the pre season and it makes you worry extra more about the frontcourt. Curry and Frye aren't great one on one defenders to begin with, nor help, and now they have to worry about blocking off the guys beating our guards. To me, I just have a feeling that Curry and Frye foul out too early in a majority of the games and we are forced to give our bench overextended minutes because of this.

To me, it only makes sense to trade one of Francis or Marbury or both AND one of Curry and Frye or both simply for better defensive players b/c I just don't see how that lineup can work. In the short term, you can change the starting lineup with what we have, but in the end, it's just too much talent.

On the other end, I think our bench is great and can be pretty solid defensively, even with the signing of Cato, b/c I have always liked him. However, your bench isn't supposed to be the lineup dominating the games for your team. It can only take you so far, especially if Curry and Frye are fouling out so early in games.

I just think that trades have to be made and it's ashame that it's come to the point that the owner doesn't even trust Isiah anymore.

I have high hopes for the season, but it's just too early to tell. With that being said, I DON'T think it even can and will work out with the starting rotation we have.

I think our starting lineup is really gonna determine where we go this season

Think so? I would even go as far to say that if we play better we will win more games than last year!

Jokes!

oohah

are you going so far or are you actually saying it? Holy ambiguity batman! The man says nothing! Once again nothing but mindless filler with no substance and no stance on ANYTHING. Keep it coming... its charming!

Good Ol' Fishmike...You're infatuated, always referring to me, trying to find a way to slip a shot in even when is no shot to be made...

I'll bet you even call my name out when you should be thinking about other things, if you know what I mean!

Nudge, nudge, say no more!

oohah

lol... dude I was joking.

I was actually thinking about boobs around that time.

Hey, I was joking too! I know it gets touchy between us Fish but I hold no hard feelings.

Today is a day for us to rejoice!

oohah

I htink the bench will determine where we go this season.

Crawford, Balkman, Lee and Nate.

i think crawford is our best back court player and Lee is playing the best ball of our front court players.

so the starting lineup is just that...a starting lineup...the finishing lineup will determine our fate.

and that lineup is led by crawford.

well, you know what they say...

the team that plays the hardest wins almost all the time, the team that scores the most points wins all the time.

is a win tonight over the depleted grizzlies cause for celebration?
