I was quite impressed--although any time I get this feeling we lose to a bad team the next game.
7
My opinion---if we let the frontcourt take 65-70% of the shots--we have a very good chance of shootinga very high team FG%. Having Jerome James at C is much more effective defensively than having JJ2 @ 3. We have lived and died to much with Crawford marbury Q and even Frye[when he is a jumpshooter out of the play] taking way to many shots. When Frye is inside and we are pushing the ball constantly into the paint with D lee curry Jerome and Frye---we are going to score well and consistently. The extra size is also a shock on the defensive end--we seemed to bully the Magic last night --we were just to big and strong for them all over the place.

I didn't see the game. It looks like Jerome stole minutes from D Lee, though.

this completely explains your opinion...you couldn't be more wrong, actually starting James was extremely beneficial, and the refs were calling ticky tack fouls on Lee.

But, atleast now we know why your opinion is so biased.

It was a good game. Jerome did well against Dwight Howard. Lee got his minutes.

The knicks really tried to give away the game last night by shooting way too quickly and turning the ball over. When they are up by 16, the knicks should have changed their mind-set. A win is a win though.

yeah--there is no doubt about it--we need a 8changing of the guards* so to speak--when you rank 30th in TO's--you have to face facts that the guards don't have quality basketball IQ to win big. That's is why I still cannot believe we passed on Marcus Williams--he could've been the *future* guy here--he can pass shoot run the club with size at the 1. Now we have to get in position somehow to find another PG that has that type of talent? it wont be easy.

I missed one game, RV. I had something better to do than to watch a .400 team on a Saturday night.

^^^^ You said point guard right???? THe postion that is like 5 for a dollar in the NBA is going to be hard to find??? Hell how many teams have two or three they might want to keep and it's going to be hard to find another? I would beg to differ. And Marcus ain't that great. His Jamal Tinsely/Andre Miller it's not like he is Felton/Pau/Deron Good.

Lat night was a very satisfying win. Now they have to follow it up on Tuesday with a win. If starting James means more production out of Frye then I am all for it.

I bet money on the Knicks winning last night... the payout was 2:1 with no point (straight win/loss).

Why?

Because the Knicks ALWAYS play very well and usually win immediatly after blowout losses. Look at our game log. Our best wins of the year against good teams come after embarassing losses. This is our pattern

We play our usual half effort and win some lose some usually based on whether or not we get a great shooting night from someone

We get our asses handed to us by an inferiour team or a team without their best players and get embarassed.

We come back the next game and actually play with max effort, especially on defense. This usually = a win

Immediatly following we are back to our sloppy half effort type games for a few until the next blowout loss.

Result? about a .400 team

Isiah's learning its awfully tought to coach effort every night

I like the fact that they won and I like some of how they played. The thing that I don't like about the Knicks is whenever they get a comfortable lead, they just coast, they don't try to pull away further. They don't have the "killer" instinct, if they did, they would have at least 5 to 7 more wins.

I think the key is interior defense...I think the tone was set early in the game that Howard wasn't going to bully the Knicks on the interior...It was a gamble by IT that worked...He has to find a way to get JJ mins at center with Curry at the PF against big front lines..I have alway thought if the Knicks could play interior defense this team can take a step to the next level..Curry was able to get two centers in foul trouble and he had his way...I really hope this defensive presence can be build upon in the second half...Wow who would have thought JJ was the shot blocker we needed up front...We need to get JJ about 15 mins a game...Frye and Lee's mins will suffer but the Knicks need the interior defense...

I like the way we played last night to. However it's seems like we show up for the good teams and get blown out by Junior Highschool teams.

the key is effort every night. Its nothing more complicated than that. Doesnt it bother you when you hear Curry talking about making a statement against certain teams and opponents? I thought good players and ALL STAR players look to do that every night, but thats just me. Until these guys and this team realize you have to "bring it" every night every minute they play they will never be a winning team

Balkman got a DNP-CD
None of last year's rookies started and all got fewer minutes than usual.

If Larry Brown had done that, some of you would have vilified him for it.

Are we building for the future or are we looking to win games with Jerome James getting more minutes than he deserves?
