As a Knick fan what are you really happy with looking at the team......
I am happy with 1. Qis a warrior and I love his leadership and the way he competes, but he has a serious back injury, and who knows when it goes out for good, and the team is stuck with another contract, but we need his locker room presence.... 2. David Lee has been amazin one of the main reasons to watch the knicks, you couldn't complain about anything he has done, epitomy of a winner, improved his moves around the basket, added size, worked on his free throws, improved his outside shot 3. Balkman-has no offensive game to speak of, but is always challenging shots, getting rebounds and coming up with big plays on defense, great finisher on the break, much needed attitude. 4. Cato-been solid at backup, yet another reason why isiah is brain dead, cato for 1 million, brings more than james at 5 year 5 million.
Jury is out 1. Curry: improved moves around the rim, he is in a little better shape, but still came in grossly out of shape again this year, needs to realize his body is long and consistently get his hands up.
2. French Frye: His jumper is rounding into form, but his willingness to pain and get garbage points is alarming, misterearl what does Frye do other than shoot jumpers? His hands are horrible and weak, he is limited athletically and has trouble finishing around the basket, can't guard anyone. Needs to be more of a force defensively, and play harder inside. He occasionaly has a nice hook shot in the point but other than that what does he bring. Curry/Frye you need to pick one. 3. Jefferies 4. Nate is still a huge ?, needs to be under control and stop acting like a child
Here is whats not to like 1. Steve Francis, the guy was a problem everywhere but Isiah brought him in there is no question, when he was suspended in orlando for causing problems, something he has done everywhere. He is a child, complains after every call and could be finished with knee problems..... 2. Big Snacks, just defies logic how stupid this signing was 3. Crawford, continues to play like a bonehead, and Isiah continues to give him the greenlight, never does he take crawford out of the game and sit him down after he creates transition baskets for the other team. 4. Isiah unwilling to put his best team on the floor and relegating the teams most important player to the bench 5. If Eddy don't score Eddy don't play its that simple, he has been average against the best centers in the league, aside from Ben Wallace. He is never going to be a consistent player unless he is the focal point of the offense because he doesn't do the things to win.... 6. Isiah had the luxury of getting rid of two players something maybe no other team in basketball could do, why not just send them home and see what was out there didn't make sense, Dolan could approve all trades besides 7. Uneeded depth at redundant positions that take away a players ability to define his role Isiah just doesn't get it: 1. Insults the fans 2. Tries to raise expectations every chance he gets, ie Jefferies is the guy, all defensive first team player after one victory against an atlanta team missing two key players, we are building towards a championship.
If the team would just play, instead of worrying about the crowd, larry, excuses, embarrassing the franchise they would be much better off
