Hopefully it\'s not as serious as it sounds. I kind of thought that I would insert Balkman into the starting 3--we already have enough o and Balkman was the perfect glue man for the first unit. With Balkman out--q maybe not ready? Looks like JJ2 starts 3 for now?

Balkman's injury didn't sound too serious to me. I don't think there's any major issue for a couple weeks. I was hoping Balkman would win the starting job also, and he still could when he comes back.
In the mean time, we get to see what Chandler can give us, even giving Nichols some SF minutes early could certainly help his cause on this roster.
We should be fine for the handfull of games Renaldo has to sit out.

Well don't that just beat all? He was the last player that did not have a serious enough injury. Now all Knicks, young and old have had at least one bad injury. I'll say it again. What the hell is going on with these conditioning coaches? I suspect they are all from chicago. Don't give me that 'its part of the game' thing. It doesn't happen to other successful teams. Bad signs starting already and just as usual, just before the season of training and all starts. I'm afraid this team is just going to prove me right. LOL
