I hope the return of Steve tonight means that Nate will not get any playing time. It seems that the Knicks play better when Nate gets limited minutes.

YOu know Nate played like like 25 minutes in our two wins before the DNP against the clippers????

In our last 2 losses, Nate has played 22 and 24 minutes
In our last 3 wins, Nate has played 11, 18, 1 minutes.

Less minutes for Nate PLEASE.

ugh. I don't trust Francis as far as I can throw him. impending disaster...


again: 7-14 when Francis plays, 15-14 when he doesn't.

ugh.

I'd rather wait to see if Nate can understand how to play bball than ever let Francis play again. course, it'd be nice to be able to give marcus williams these minutes...

Why you guys always want to pick on nate!!!!!!! He makes 1 million and is a sohpmore!!!!!!!

I'm joking because I forgot that Nate got big minutes in the last 2 loses and not the wins before the Clippers game. But Francis can Blow up the whole season..... 50 games can go down the tube with this move. I how he gets nothing and shows he can handle being that 28 minute per game guy. If not, SIT HIM FOR N8!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact is Nate is not needed. Francis atleast can rebound and knows how to set up the offense. Nate is a 5'7 guard that can't even run the point. Do people think that's normal?

People can say we have a better record without Francis but the truth is, Francis was not the problem in the beginning of the year. Curry was not the same, Marbury, nor Jamal. So it is kind of unfair to throw the loses on Francis. However it is true that we play better without Nate. Nate not playing allowed Marbury to get more minutes to get his game back.

The first month or so of the season, Frye and Marbury had horrible starts. Also, Isaiah hadn't yet forced the issue of getting the ball to Curry. Francis played out of position in the 2, but considering played pretty well. He's easily an upgrade over Nate.

Nate allowed that???? SMH............ So Francis leaving the team didn't have an effect on the team, but 15 minute a game nate did.
Stop hating on NATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMHO Francis is a upgrade over Nate. The only question with Francis is can he accept playing 20 minutes a game. If he can, our second unit should have a clear advantage over every team we play. It seems like Francis has matured and understands the situation and is playing the role of good soldier. Hopefully, he keeps it up for the rest of the season.

I dont know about Frye, but I think Francis had a LOT to do with Marbury's horrible start. As well as Crawford's bad start. Once Francis sat, both players played much better.

No Marbury continued to play horrible long after Francis was placed in a suit and tie. Remember Isiah had a habit of giving Nate heavy minutes that use to cut into Marbury's playing time. As far as Jama,l he plays better when he is a starter. I think right now he might be shooting like 43% as a starter.

After 3 periods, Francis has more rebounds than any Utah player.
