The clock struck midnight and our scrubs are back to being scrubs...LOL!!

Yeah and when they won, you and I both said that it was great and we hoped it would be the turnaround. In other words, we gave an honest assessment of a 4 of 5 streak. Where is the honesty on a 3 game losing streak?

Don Chaney said yesterday he was moving closer to making a change at starting point guard. Howard Eisley, who had five of the Knicks' 23 turnovers in Wednesday's 95-87 loss in Seattle, has started the past 15 games, displacing Charlie Ward. Chaney could go back to Ward or make the era-defining move of installing Frank Williams as starter."
---------------------------------

"Chaney believes Antonio McDyess' return has disrupted the team's rhythm. "Guys are going out of the way to get him the ball," Chaney said. "Five turnovers a game because guys were trying to get him the ball. We have to stop force-feeding him."

Chaney that motherfuker. DOES HE NOT REALIZE THAT MCDYESS ONLY PLAYED 20 MINS A GAME MAX IN THE LAST 3 GAMES!!??

Im a lil disappointed in McDyess's rebounding ability. In the games I watched where McDyess was the main PF/C (no Deke or KT), the opposing team would get the offensive reb 2-3 times on one possesion and 2-3 times in total.. No one else saw this?

Also, i havent really watched McDyess play on the Nugs but are all his shots just 4ft away? He was VERY hesitant to shoot a jumper from like 8ft vs the TBs.

Some of this could be rust, but a guys playing style always sticks with him.

Dude its his third game back and shot 7-12 and had 6 rebs in 20 minutes. With time he is going to give 18-10 a night easily.

Yes I remember that sequence that you mention about the Balzers picking up offensive rebounds. Those were result of long rebounds. Besides I didn't see KT getting them either he is the teams leading rebounder. Give, Dice sometime, he already has made great progress game to game in limited minutes.

thats exaclty why Dice and KT shouldn't be in at the same time. Especially against a west team. Where the **** was Deke

Deke scored his first basket and right after that Chaney pulls him from the game. I was so pissed when he did that. I don't like KT at center and I definitely don't like the idea of Dice playing center. Chaney has been screaming for height for the last two years and when he gets it he doesn't play it.

We don't suck, The F--kin Coach can't coach this team. Dyess is back, Williams will eventually get the starting PG duties,Houston is clicking, Mutumbo is palying like he's 25 again, Thomas is having a career yr but overall, this coach named Chaney don't know his substitions patterns, rotations and getting his team to close out games or even hold on to huge leads. CHANEY NEEDS TO GO!!!!

It's just a poorly constructed team. Who in their right mind would put this group together? We have a lot of players who could contribute on a good team (with scaled down salaries). But together they just don't make up a team. You can just sense that the chemistry isn't good.

I think it is interesting that the Knicks played so well without Houston and KVH. You didn't have the worlds greatest players on the court but you had better chemistry. You had some team work. Part of the problem now is trying to work Dyess in. If winning is the goal, would we see these lineups? Why not go back to what worked?
