I.Thomas has to realize that this is the team he needs to run with from here on out.

insert Jeffries, Francis and Balkman in the 8 man rotation has subs and he's good.


If after the suspensions, he puts Jeffries back at the 4, I think I'm going to start calling for his head...

The Knicks could have quit after the way the media and some segments of the supposed fan base came down on them after the brawl...they haven't.

Agreed about Jeffries.

Lee should be starting with Jeffries. I just don't get it - what else does this man have to do to get his starting spot back?

I think IT's going to play Marbury, Q, JJ2, Frye, and Curry as the starting lineup once everyone gets healthy and off suspensions. He wants Lee, Balkman, Crawford, and Nate as his bench.

If IT is dumb enough to do that he derseves to lose his job. When they had the bench the first 15 games they went 5-10. JJ has started three games and we got torched for about 115 points in two of the games so he has a 1-3 record. Doesnt that make Lee 5-4 when he is starting?

Didn't we try running at the beginning of the season and that system totally negated guys like Curry, Frye, Stephon......

Problem-half the team is better at one style than the other. The other half is better at the other style. Major problem-Isiah can't seem to get the 5 guys that like to run together and the guys that like to pund together without disrupting flow of both styles.

I like this line-up. Substitute JJ2 for Balkman just because I think JJ2 is better at what they do at the current time. Use Q to fill in the minutes at the 2 and the 3. Leave JJ off the team. Leave Nate on the bench. Trade Francis for a need. Shorten the rotation and stop catering to every player on the team so they don't feel bad.
I just hope that people will like me

I agree they needed to shorten the rotation. Addition by subtraction is big with this team.

The 9 I'd play are:

Curry
Frye
Lee
Balkman
Marbury
Q
Crawford
Jefferies
Nate or Mardy (for spot minutes at PG).


Lee has to start.
