The main thing this team needs at this point is a leader. When the team is playing like crap and they are completely out of it, someone needs to get in their face, kick them in the ass, choke them to death or does what needs to be done for not playing hard. I know Isiah said "they need to be afraid of me" but come on Zeke, they are not not afraid of you. I agree with TMS, djsunyc, joec, Solace and everyone else that Q Rich should be the leader.

IfF we had a strong presence in the locker room and in the game, we would not come out flat. We need the 2006-07 version of Charles Oakley and I say Q-Rich can do it.

Q is a good leader but I wa not pleased in his walking off the court deal last night. That leads via bad example and we have young impressionable guys (nate) that then feel its ok to do things like that. Q is our best leader followed by Malik but we need more.

Q's the guy who got into Nate's face when he was acting like a total idiot last night... Nate responded by shutting Q out & sulking on the bench for the rest of the game... leaders try to lead but you can't make idiots follow.

THe team has that kind of leadership. THe team needs a person on the floor who keep the TEAM IN THE GAME. One person who can drag the team on his back. Somebody when everything goes wrong they can look to. Paul perice did it for his team, He sparked them early and he pulled them to a win at the end. THat's what the knicks need, they have nobody to look to who knows what the hell to do. This sucks!!!!!!

I think the biggest thing we are lacking right now is players that know how to win. Isiah went out and grabbed a ton of solid players but none of them have any idea the commitment, effort and proper decision making in order to win games. And what's scarier is that they are teaching our young guys. There are obvious things you need in order to rebuild and Isiah for some reason has failed to target them. A 45 year old Avery Johnson would be a better PG for this team than any of the one's we have. We need winners.

You can't build a roster of guys that have never won on the NBa level and then be surprised when they can't figure out how to win on the NBA level.

I'm telling ya... Q is gonna go Mt. St. Helens and it ain't gonna be pretty.

I thought Marbury was our leader and captain?

Lemme tell you man, I was so wrong about Marbury in Orange and Blue. I don't want him on the same team as Eddy Curry. I want someone like Ben Wallace playing bodyguard. Bring out the mean streak in Curry. I really like David Lee next to Eddy. Man, Marbury is NOT working out in the city. FAILED EXPERIMENT!!
