They played all the vets the whole game--after 73 games can't they just come to a reasonable agreement that the team isnt very good as is? It's the same thing every game--the other team gets out to a 10-20 point lead--they let up Knicks come back team B gets the lead back out again and that happens roughly 3-4 times.

What comes of not playing Chandler Morris Collins Balkman 30 minutes? We will only win 25% of the time no matter who is in there on the current roster so why not give those kids a chance to play the last 10--the vets played most of the first 73 and we stink. Why change the evaluation process?

the only thing I can think of is 2-3 Knick vets went to IT and said play us because we want ton win[yeah right 70 games to latye?] and now IT trying to save atleast is bench position is kssing their arses.


Let me be frank with the Knick players if they read the message boards[which they probably don't

You don't have the personell to protect the hoop you don't have a player who can pressure the ball--you dont really have a solid go to player or STAR your not very fast or quick and overall look at your record over the last few years--we sck! Now we need different direction--we need a new focus some players must go and that is that. Get a grip---don't try to be selfish to the fan--we dont want you to win one more game--and while you may say FU--no--the Knick fan has already been fcked quite hard and we DESERVE a great chance at getting some HOPE for the future and it sure isnt with the most of the players we have now.


Just figure this--we lost and were behind double digits again most of the way--yet Q Rich and Jefferies had season best games--I mean what does that say? It measn we sck as a team!!~

blah

Isiah is trying to win every game now to prove he is a great coach.

what's amazing is that this team is on course to break Larry's record of 23 wins. I didn't think that would even possible, but now it seems likely.

Isiah trying to prove to Dolan he can still turn the team around next season so he might be retained as coach?

This kind of got me going tonight. I knew they would lose this game no matter what--but that's not the problem. What exactly is the benefit to the team playing Lee Crawford Q rich the whole way through with the other major minutes to Jones? Jefferies Im OK with because at 33 he's still developing. Seriously all of a sudden we are vying for the 7th game of the Eastern finals here? Give these guys run
They started last week--why the change? Is somoene coming after Collins with a max contract? It would be smart and a real nice finisher if one of these guys get hurt--that would really be smart. Jamal blows out his knee in the 47th minutes of game 80. Who is making these decisions?????????? Two units 24 minutes each--bring up a D leaguer or two for the last 10 EVERY other frikin team has done it--were the only SPECIAL team who doesnt!

The absolute number 1 killer problem--the coaches AND the players THINK this team is better than they really are--and its been that way for awhile. Like MR T said in Rocky 3 paper champion

you know at this point i really could care less how they lose, as long as they lose... ideally playing the kids max minutes the rest of the way is the logical way to go, but the end result needs to be the same... we need more ping pong balls in the draft... if it takes guys like Q or fishlips having career best games to do it, so be it.

Well for a tanking team --and it's in our ABSOLUTE bets intersts to tank it--they changed strategy from the last two weeks. They were playing with all arms to win like it was game 7--I would if nothing else improve the value of Balkman Collins and or Morris--it wont happen if they dont play big minutes.
We already know what the main guys do--but they do have a better chance of winning than the younger players. On top ofn that is it really good business to play your main guys extended minutes for fear of injury? If Jamal s knee buckles it minute 47 game 79--well we havent had good management and we will continue to work with brainless wonders.
