Signing a 34 year old Iverson to a 6 year deal with no market competition is something Isiah would do....Donnie just had to extend a vet minimum for the rest of the year. Chris Duhon is starting no matter how bad he plays and no matter how many points Toney Douglas averaged for that 4 game streak...Toney Douglas was rewarded with 12 sporatic minutes against Indiana.

Lies I tell you!!!

Douglas is getting minutes. And I think you will see Duhon's minutes drop even more when Nate is healthy.

Regardless they both have held on to their starting jobs....Duhon hasn't had one good game all year...Toney Douglas has had 4 straight and was rewarded with a benching and then sparatic minutes against Indiana....Jordan Hill has brought more energy and toughness inside than any big man ahead of him in the depth chart. He's rewarded by watching Jared blow layups and dribble off his foot in key moments of the game.

How can this be explained???

Agree and there is no explaination.

At least he seems willing to play Curry, who is actually playing better defense than Lee. That is how bad it has gotten folks. EDDY CURRY IS OUR BEST LOW POST DEFENDER!!! I am going to pull a Walsh and forget this team until next year.

I thought that they should have brought him in but I understand why they didnt.As for Duhon, expect for him to ride the pine if he doesnt come out of his funk in the next few games. Changing the starting lineup every game is an Isiah move. Its clear that we dont have Isiah as a coach or a GM anymore.

When you are a real bad team like the Knicks any bad player will look kinda good in spirts. Until I see them play well against Philly or Cleveland , or Orlando , Or even Charlotte, don't tell me that these young guy are NBA quality players. Good players brings it every game. The Knick may bring it maybe one quarter of a game.And of course so of our vets may have a good game out of every six games. Thats the law of average. Other players in the league see how we treat players and beleive me they will think twice about coming to New York. Thats why it was important for us to keep our first round draft pick for 2010 Curry was not worth us giving up that pick. If he plays well the next 30 games with out any injuries I may have a second thought and maybe he is worth keeping because a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush.

Toney Douglas is such a scrub he went toe to toe with Deron Williams and almost beat Utah by himself. Starting Duhon ahead of this kid or next to the kid destroys team chemistry....I'm proud Larry Hughes hasn't said a word...or Al Harrington...people trash them but they have never stopped playing and neither is in the way of any youth movement.

As far as Eddy Curry.....He's only playing cuz Donnie is gonna try to trade him. Eddy could average 50pts and 20 rebounds for the rest of his NYK career and he will be traded as soon as he can get an expiring contract.

Dude I can't deal with that.

BTW, I hate you DJsunyc!!!! You told me so!
