Looks like KVH had a very good game, and the rookies minutes are getting cut down...at least Lampe's are. 3 minutes?

I don't think the Knicks have shot over 40% from the field all preseason.

ALLAN HOUSTON ABSENCE IS MISSED GREATLY. What Allan brings is spacing between knick players, when he's on the court teams must spread out to wherever he is on the court, when he's not there the knicks all bunch up just to recieve passes. Allan hurry up and get healthy.

Damn, take a look at our PGs shooting!!! FW 0-4/CW 0-6 thats scarry!!!

I sure hope Matt Carroll makes the roster. Shandon Anderson CANT SHOOT and we need someone to take that shooting guard spot when Houston needs rest. Being a shooting guard is all about legs and if Allan is pulling down major minutes hes going to tire out.


Let Shandon Anderson take a load off. I realise your trying to let the league see the worth of Knight before he is bought out, but we need to get Lampe some REAL playing time.
