I don't even remember if it was on offense or defense, but the ref called the foul on Frye, when he was against Nocioni, and he went crazy against the ref. I never saw him so angry before, and I do notice he complains every now and then.

Call him soft as much as you want, b/c his rebounding and defense need a LOT of improvement, but I still say he's a pretty intense player, who just doesn't really have many physical gifts.

His rebounding has been fine with me this year. Especially next to Lee.

He's starting to block more shots but he really needs to develop into a better man-to-man defender as does the rest of our team.

Frye's defense has a long way to go, and he does sometimes forget to box out, but he's seemed to atleast be fighting for the rebounds more. Always room for improvement, but it's satisfactory for now.
I definately wouldn't call him soft.

that is the thing that is a joke with the league right now- flops. And nocioni flops with the best of them.

I think there ought to be a deal like with the NHL for diving- and if its a flop- call a technical against the floppee- just like an illegal defense.

he was running the break. He would have had a open dunk but Noc flopped

I don't agree. I thought frye clearly shoved nocioni. His elbows were too high and he pushed off on it. Noci did flop a little but that whistle was blown before the acting job. Me and my son were watching that play and we both were pissed at frye for carrying on like he did. He was wrong and he needs to stop getting so pissed at the refs and play the game. He is always whining and throwing tantrums about stupid fouls that he is without a doubt guilty of. On this particular play his elbow was up too high and he pushed off. At that point of the game the knicks did not need him to get a tech or fouled out so he was stupid for how he reacted.

Laimbeer was at least a tough guy himself, Nocioni just flops. And in the 90's, Laimbeer might have been decked as well. Those were the times.

Well, now that we're on the topic of violence and NBA fights, anyone notice how quiet Camby was during and after the brawl, besides when he tripped Jefferies? I think he's learned his lessons after experiencing some fights as a Knick.
