Suddenly there's one thread that thinks suckbury's having his breakout year next season and now this. Next, curry will be said to have a dominating year as a center.

Crawford has no D and is turnover prone. He'll score about the same though.
I'll never trust this' team again.

i predict Jamal will go back to playing more like he was under LB & looking to create shots for his teammates more... i think if Eddy Curry comes into camp in shape (big IF) then he could also benefit from this... i think the guys who will be phased out completely are Marbury & Zach & i think those are the guys that Walsh is gonna look to trade before anyone else.

that 52 point game vs miami as nice, but that clip with Ben gordon trying to guard him... ROFL, he was cleaning the floor with Ben...

a lotta guys get on Jamal for his lack of D but i defy anyone to find a guy who can guard him 1 on 1 when he's got it going... i like Jamal & i hope he has a breakout season next year to prove some of the naysayers wrong about him. (i hope)

jamal is a guy i have a lot of faith in for whatever reason. i hope he can click in d'antoni's system. i think he'd be a lot better if he didn't have to carry so much responsibility for the team - he needs help.

a shotblocker & a swingman who can knock down an open J would do wonders for this team IMO.

Crawford should be traded- because we can actually get some value back for him, like & first round pick and ending contract.

No matter how well he might work in D'Antoni's offense, he is fundamentally a bad shooter. Some discipline would help. But the fact is there are some players that will knock down 8 out of 10 open 20 footers any day of the week. But not crawford. One day, he'll miss all day, another he will knock down all 10.

Its better to trade him, possibly now on draft night so we might be able to get a late round pick and add a big man and then have our own pick be a PG type player.

I predict roughly 1 point per 2 min played on 40% shooting

Can anyone see him runnig the point in a motion offense, i mean steve nash was pretty good before he became sun, but his numbers went up after becoming a sun. Even without amare he was still dishing and swishing with less help.

crawford is a bad decision maker. when he gets on those streaks, he can hit a bunch of shots. but those streaks are few and far between. there is no "constant" when talking about him. he is a career 40% shooter in 7 years of service. not good any way you look at it. the guy is a 6th man/role player. breakout season will be 25ppg on 22 fga. he has worked the media perfectly - only criticism he gets come from fans. the guy the past 3 years has said "i have to work on my shot selection and my defense." i haven't seen any improvement in either area.

steph is still the best guard on the knicks...even gimpy. asking him to take a back seat to crawford was one of the dumbest things the franchise has done the past few years.

Jamal is not a good ball player. He loses games he rarely produces wins, everyone is all over him for his clutch shot making, but the guys always takes the last shot and he is bound to make a few. How many eerrant 3's does he take to win games when he should be driving.

I don't care how good he is one on one, he is a dumb player that tries to make the highlight play is out of control and plays zero defense is never back in transition and is responsible for 6pts a game going the other way because he can't discipline himself to make the smart play.

Since he has been here playing 35 minutes a night we have been in the lottery all fours years and won 34, 23, 34, and 33 games.

Cut ties with the guy. Trade him to the Spurs they need some offense.

this is true too. but the last time the team made the playoffs is when he had the keys to the offense and was surrounded by players that suited his style.

I hope Jamal does well. He was one of the only guys that played hard for LB, never quit and improved. He also did everything Isiah told him to do. He clearly has some skills, but like someone said is not a very good BB player right now. We have a good coach that will put him in a position to suceed. I hope he does.. I think JC is one of the few class acts we have on this team. I do not have high expections to be honest, but I do hope he thrives and will be rooting for him.

The Leastern Conference was at an All-Time Low Boston got in with a 36-46 record and we finished 3 gms better than them as they truly backed in losing 5 of their last 7 games. He didn't do anything special.

he's a streaky player no doubt, i never said he wasn't... i also think Marbury's PG skills are more advanced than Jamal's, but in terms of scoring ability i will have to disagree w/u... Jamal is in fact, a SG is he not? his job is to score the basketball... his orchestration of the offense needs work but i think he's shown the ability to set up his teammates well also... i think if he gets back to the way he was playing under LB, he'll be fine... i just wanna see him get more aggressive & get into the lane w/that sick handle of his... i know he's got the skills to get off his shot anytime he wants & has better court vision than people give him credit for... him & Curry work really well in that 2 man game & he's had some nice moments dishing off to D Lee & Balk also... i think Jamal will do well in an uptempo style personally... keeping my fingers crossed but IMO Jamal is not 1 of the biggest problems w/this franchise right now.

as for Marbury being phased out being a mistake, i dunno what to tell ya... if u think we'd be in better shape right now w/that psychopath leading this team, that's your call... i beg to differ... the day Marbury is finally off this team is the day this team can return to some semblence of professionalism & stop putting personal agendas ahead of the interests of the team.

btw, i get a kick outta all the fans who knock the guy & downplay his clutch shotmaking skills as if that was a bad thing... yeah, we got a ton of guys on this roster who can make a clutch shot in crunchtime, who needs a guy like Jamal?... gimme a break... other than Nate i don't see 1 other guy on this team who i'd be confident in w/the ball in his hands w/the game on the line, & it's not as if Nate's all that great a decision maker either.

Im not sure what some of you are talking about. Our offense will soon be shoot when open, quick ball movement and pick n roll. If that ant JC then I dont know.
