OK... at the end - With Melo on the line... All we need is a rebound to win it, why did we have Eddy Curry out there? He was slow to the ball all night and check this:

DAVID FUCKING LEE

10 REBOUNDS in 22 minutes!!! All we needed was a board to win.. and he was on the bench????

Honestly, i LOVED the game.. what a thrill.. but wtf is up wit that???

Curry was rested for a looooooooonnnnng stretch. And its a foul shot, and Curry is huge. Its not like he had Nate in fo rLee or something. The uy is our center.

Don't be a hater -- we're only a half game out of the last playoff spot --

But yeah, you'd think our best rebounder would be in the game during a situation where all we need to win is a rebound.

That play they run where you have two post players near the elbows and the wings both flare is aweful. They run it too slow and the pass is too easily intercepted... they need to remove it from the playboook. I liked Curry passing out of the double teams though... its obvious that he needs to touch the ball every time down the court.

That's not a big question. The big question is what are the knicks gonna do about channing frye. Rose is in there when he should be. Rose has filled in nicely.....

....but he aint no zack Randolph!

Am I wrong but wasn't Lee in the game at the end? I thought I saw him.
I thought he was the one the rebound went over his head. ??

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

I dont get why he's in the SL. I was saying all offseason he was a terrible fit next to Curry as neither defend or rebound well. Lee may not be a stopper but he gets boards.

Put Frye on the bench and let him be the focal point of the offense, where he can get the ball in the post

All we have to do is score 109 or more points a night, as we average giving up 108 or something like that.

Curry wasn't the problem at the end with the free throw. Balkman didn't box out Smith, who tried to pull a Jordan.
Can't remember if Lee was on the court, but I do think Lee needs to start over Frye. Frye is choking under the pressure of starting. Knicks need defense and hustle in the starting lineup to offset the slackers in Marbury and Curry.

I can't blame balkman too much- smith is just quicker and faster. Someone on our bench - it was in front of our bench?- should have perceived what the plan was- and called out.

I think Curry should come off the bench- that way when he gets his second foul its in the 2nd q.

Agreed- start lee- think frye would be better as starting c.

Can't blame balkman. It looks like that was a set play that worked perfectly. Took everyone ny suprise.

How bout the fact that the knicks let Denver dominate them all night? Knicks should have won by 10.

Good win regardless. Knicks should be 0-5 and would have been last year.

If Frye keeps playing like this, he'll have to be benched for his own sake. This must be hard on his confidence.

If Curry can master passing out of the double team, this team cannot be stopped. Marbury and Q both look like they have improved their 3pt shooting. With Nate and the streaky Crawford, we could kill teams with 3s. Curry is the key to this season.

Curry has look MUCH improved from last year with patience in the post. I did see a few instances where he was doubled and guys were just standing on the perimeter. The other player have to help him by cutting and moving.
