I know last night was one win but it was a big one bc of who we were playing and how we won it and who won it for us. If we got Marbury going, we've got the other star player to compliment Curry. Frye is just coming back and once his jumper is hitting consistantly - watch out.
When everyone is back from suspension or injury this is our line-up

Pg: Marbury, Crawford
Sg: Q-Rich, Nate/Francis
Sf: Jefferies, Balkman
Pf: Frye, Lee
C: Curry, (Frye)

This 9-10 man roration can be as good as any rotation in the league. I'm confident it can happen and I think this brawl was the best thing to happen to this team. Go Knicks !

i want to see Cato get some minutes in the rotation... he's a better shotblocker than anyone we have right now.

I think a 10 man rotation hurts our cohesiveness. Shorten the rotation to 9(Curry, Lee, Jeffries, Q, Marbury, Frye, Balkman, Crawford, Cato) bascially keep Nate, Jerome, Francis away from the team and you will see every player pick up their play because and know their roles

I agree about Cato he showed last night that he deserves to play.
Too bad we have Jerome James taking up space.

I just love the athletic front line of Balkman, Lee, and Frye combine with Nate & Crawford in the backcourt. To me this could be the best 2nd unit in the league.

I agree!

Our team is very deep if we ever get everyone back healthy and from suspension.

Craw needs to go back to the bench where he can be on a second that includes Lee and Balkman so if he's cold we can have those 2 guys sweeping the offensive glass!

Hopefully Cato made enough of an impact last night to earn a shot at a little more PT.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Big Turd can take up space on the bench in his nice custom suits all year long... Cato needs some burn as he showed last night.

i wanna see this:

C - Curry
PF - Lee
SF - Jefferies
SG - Q Rich
PG - Marbury (as long as he's playing well)
6 - Crawford
7 - Frye
8 - Balkman
9 - Cato
Nate comes in for Marbury or Jamal if 1 of them is having an off night
Malik comes in for Lee or Frye in the same type of scenario

no use for Big Turd, & who knows if Francis will play again this season w/his knee condition? if he has surgery u can pretty much count him out for the rest of the season, which is fine because he doesn't have a role w/all the players they have as it is.

I hate frye at power foward he brings nothing to the table, can't make a shot vs anyone with muscle or someone that pushes him way out, never get the garbage points either.....

He is much more effective off the bench, Curry is defensive black hole, and frye is right there those two together will put us in a huge hole.......

I would give all of james minutes to cato, as we don't need any scoring for James, this just proves why the knicks have sucked for the past 5 years, because instead of merely renting a player like Cato they lock them in to long term deals.......

Balkman needs to get nates minutes he is far to valuable to be put on the bench, Isiah needs to ****ing wake up, he is so long that he is going to cause problems for opposing guards

We get everyone back, we could be worse.

Sorry to be such damp, but really we can suck also.

Marbury seems to be doing well, but then Eddy has dropped off.

Shorten to 8-9 players and let it be.

We needed a miricle last nite. Maybe the holiday spirit has gotten to JesusBury and was elevated to see the light.

That was a hell of a play to end the game!

having depth is only good for injury reasons. it hurts the teams cohesiveness. Guys sit longer and cool off etc. It works when you're being coached by hubie brown

i think we'll always have a couple players who'll be nursing injuries, so having depth can only be a positive... i don't think Francis will be back this season to be honest, & who knows when Q Rich will be 100% again? good thing Isiah drafted Balkman, cuz he gives this team some good depth in positions of need.

We can not have Curry cooling off while Marbury is starting to heat up. Steph is the most inconsistent player there is. I know eddy isn't MR. Consistency himself but he's not 29 and hasn't been in the league 10 years either!

Curry has to be our featured guy EVERY game!
