JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Posted by TMS: I'm still wondering why anyone thinks Crawful will dominate under DAntoni. He might, but, last time I checked, low percentage shooters who stagnate the offense with too much dribbling, who turn the ball over as a result of too many fancy moves, and call their own number 75% of the time that they have the ball... are not will not excel under DAntoni's system and will also prevent the system from succeeding at all. ************************ Although 4949's enthusiasm and optimism is through the roof in fact helping inspire my "nut busters and angry hordes calm down" thread I agree with him: Why not give this situation a chance, GKF? Why not? Why automatically continue the "this sucks, we suck, this wont work they suck, fire them all already" march of misery? I think Walsh and DAntoni deserve time to prove themselves. Since you can't work miracles over night in the NBA they're going to deserve more than just this offseason to prove themselves. Unfortunately there are people that won't even give them that....

i don't think anyone said Jamal's gonna dominate in D'Antoni's system, only that it's more well suited for his skillset & athletic ability... who knows how he's gonna play? we'll just have to see it on the court to see how it plays out.

Posted by TMS: I don't know...but...eight years worth of the same sad product pulls some weight into speculating doesn't it? As to Jamal...if he's ever going to be a halfway decent player.... he needs to: *Play less minutes, preferably off the bench for 25 a game. *Play defense. I don't care how poorly, just try, and I don't care if you rack up fouls, just try to disrupt your opponent at least. *Stop with the And-1 Garbage except if you're on a fast break and you're going to use it to GET TO THE RIM --- and --- you can use it when you've been tasked to take the final shot of a quarter or game and you want to use it to get separation. *Stop with the desire to take your shots in the 18-30 foot range. You're a good FT shooter. Get to the damn rim. *Learn to handle the ball like a fundamentally sound player. Driving the lane half way then giving up the ball like you're playing "kill the guy" because you're afraid of contact in the lane is not acceptable. Doing 12 crossovers and then passing the ball isn't helpful for any offense. *Stop running up to 18 feet out, then dribbling, lazily going over a screen rendering it pointless, only to wind up 18 feet away again, then doing 5 crossovers, only to still be 18 feet out, then faking a drive to the lane only to do 7 more crossovers before finally launching an 18 foot fadeaway brick. *Learn to move without the ball, come off a pick, and hit a jump shot. Don't run around, get the ball, dribble all over, crossover 7 times, only to launch an 18 foot fadeaway brick. See, if Jamal can stop doing all that garbage, and play fundamentally sound basketball, and use his skills properly, which we all know he is more than capable of doing he could be a valuable bench player. He could be shooting 43-44% from the field and getting 10FTAs a game. But, well, ya know...there's 8 full seasons of anything but reason to believe he would change. He better, otherwise he needs to go. If he doesn't change and he doesn't go then why even bother.......'cause we're going to suck as we've had ever since he got here. http://popcornmachine.net/ A must-use tool for NBA stat junkies!

in those 8 years of play Jamal's shown more than a few times that he could be a premier scorer... i think he at least deserves a shot to see how he does in a new system that is more catered to his skillset & ability... in CHI he struggled to learn the triangle system under Cartwright & had a hard time dealing w/Skiles' more structured style... in NY he played well under LB & showed he could be coached, & then Isiah completely undermined everything Jamal had learned under LB the year after by letting Jamal be a chucker again... i think under a run & gun style game he'll be more comfortable & his instincts & ability will take over... i've seen Jamal make some incredible passes off the dribble & in the flow of the offense that few other guys on this team are capable of making... i've seen Jamal collect multiple double digit assist games & put forth a better effort on defense at times with his ability to get steals in the backcourt using his long arms... he's never going to be a good defensive G, but like u said if he can put forth the effort at least on a more consistent basis, that's all i can ask for... IMO Jamal is 1 of our most talented players & i would not throw him away for garbage just yet... he's provided some of the few brightspots during all the games we've watched since he got here, certainly more than most other players on this roster.
