Maybe if we started N8-Chandler-Gallinari-Lee-Harrington we wouldn't start every game down by 10 points. Wilcox, Hughes, Duhon off the bench. Q and Jeffries sit. Time to get back to an 8 man rotation.

I like the depth and I like Nate coming off the bench.

Hughes can't play until he shows something more than this.

Q looks great next to Hughes.

What's the latest on our new recruits?
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

I understand the idea that Nate is great off the bench.

But why must we routinely get in a hole...and then let Nate drive the heroic comeback effort. Why can't nate just be a part of the game from the beginning.

Nate is good coming off the bench. The reason is that Nate is a scorer and that is something that can be a positive or a negative ex. (Marbury, AI), especially if you want other players to get involved. Duhon allows others to get involved he is a distributing pg and that is why he needs to start. Although Duhon hasn't playing that great because he no longer pushes the ball up the court at a frenetic pace. He needs to start doing that because the Knicks fast break points are down since the beginning of the year. Nate is also best when Duhon is with him in the back court.

Nate is at his best when he is on the court period.

I been trying to tell you guys that Duhon sucks...Duhon is the back-up point guard we been looking for....Knicks still need a point guard. I hope Donnie and D'antoni are realizing this now...

"The last great night of Chris Duhon's Bulls career (?)

The first 20+ point and 20+ assist game in Bucks history was undermined somewhat by Chris Duhon's statline of 15 assists with 0 turnovers, along with scoring 22 points on 9 shots. All of this took place in 14 less minutes than what Sessions played. Had he played the same amount of minutes as Sessions (44), he almost certainly would have had better overall numbers than Sessions did.

And this is a bad thing, because this is Chris Duhon we're talking about. Chris Duhon, in his penultimate game as a Chicago Bull, no less. Duhon's tenure with the Bulls has always been highlighted by the occasional staggeringly brilliant performance, be it his triple double versus Charlotte, his eight made three pointers versus Atlanta, or his 38 point game versus the Warriors this season. Every four months or so, he turns in a performance so dominating that you can't help but wonder what it is that makes him so **** for the other 80 games of the season. And tonight, he has done this again. But this is no excuse for Sessions to let him put up numbers of such magnitude - it is, after all, Chris Duhon. At some point, you have to make him look like the ****ty point guard that he is.

...for Chris Duhon fans, you get one final chance to see your hero in action for the team that will probably constitute 80% of his entire NBA career."

We can't have Nate starting if he is going to do his Vinnie Johnson imitation every time. The ball does not flow when Nate is in and he tends to keep balls on pick-and-rolls. He is the perfect 6th man. Here is my fab 5.

PG-Duhon
SG-The Mayor
SF-Gallo
PF-Wilcox
C-DLee

Bench-Nate, Al, JJSkinny, Hughes

I like the Wilcox/DLee frontcourt tandem to control the boards. Gallo as the consistent outside threat. The Mayor the defensive stopper and Duhon to manage the game.

Nate and Al are instant offense and JJSkinny has his use. Hughes needs some burn just in case he gets his touch back.

100% with this lineup.
But Wilcox and Galo minutes should be limited to around 15. Both are not ready for big minutes for different reasons.
And Hughes should not get more that 5 min untill he will became NBA level player again, if he will at all.
