Jeffries is a fragile one, isn't he?

Uh-oh Spaghetti-O!

And NYK4EVER was just guaranteeing us a good season from Jeffries!

NYK's Jared Jeffries guarantee is starting to become like Ewing's yearly: "We will win the Championship" guarantee. Time to give it up boss!

***

So red-Cru, I thought you got into practice yesterday, it seems like you were there today. Is that right?

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

How does this factor into the roster...does he still have to count as one of the 15...or does this open up room for someone else to get a shot for two months?

Jeffries was just using up valuable time that can now go to Chandler and Lee.

He counts for one of the 15.

Damn.....

D'antoni when out of his way to praise the dude and he goes and gets hurt. Sheesh can't win huh?

So this at least gives Q-rich a definate role. Hopefully as back-up to Chandler. I'm gonna be mad if THE MAYOR doesn't flat out win the starting job.

I think the Knicks should try to get Odom. He's dangling.

From what I am hearing Q is a starter. Apparently he is shooting the lights out in training camp

There is no IR since they expanded the roster to 15 so he doesn't open up a spot. However, it might make Ewing jr. more valuable and give him a chance.

This honestly sucks, this system is tailor-made for Jeffries game (yes I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.) With the way D'Antoni makes rotations, Jeffries will never have a chance to crack it once he returns. Sucks.

It depends, look at Kurt Thomas. He worked him in the rotation based on the need. He did struggle working in Shaq but he didn't have an understanding of how he will fit exactly. I think Ewing and Jefferies could be slotted in the same type of role. Ewing will make this team for sure now.

I think you're right about Ewing, he makes the team for sure now, because as you said, he can definitely fill the same kind of role that Jeffries did.

I agree about the Kurt Thomas thing too. I think with that scenario, MikeD had championship aspirations and knew he had to play Kurt so Kurt was able to crack the rotation. Here it's going to be different and when Jeffries comes back, I don't see it making much sense playing him over a young player since this team obviously has no championship aspirations right now.

D'Antoni first team in the scrimmages were Duhon, Crawford, Quentin, Lee, and Jeffries. Im assuming this injury puts Zach back into the starting line-up. I hope this knucklehead can play team ball.
