Personally I hope Balkman and Jorts tear it up for the next week. I just can't stand to see those missed layups, even though he helps on defense...

Hmm. Anything to keep Novak at the end of our depth charts.

Yeah people make fun of Jared, but I bet he helps make the defense better. In the end that's what we're gonna need. We'll have enough scoring when Davis gets in there. Jared fills a need for more defensive minded players.

6'11 Jeffries and 6'9 Jorts could be a funky fun frontcourt combination.

Jeffries can guard the perimeter while Harrellson does the grunt work inside.

The problem comes at the swing positions. The Knicks are missing a dependable player (preferably 6'6+) who can create off the dribble - pass effectively and intuitively - and make 44 per cent of his shots.

Three point shooters need not apply.

Yeah - Jorts can airball threes and JJ can brick layups - we can be on ESPN bloopers every night

Jefferies is even more valuable now with a talented team. He doesn't ahve to do anything but play defense and occasionally shoot a jumper to keep defense honest. 3 shots max per game lol

I don't mind JJ at all, as long as he doesn't shoot, sets screens, and plays D.

He would have done a better job on Diaw than Amare did.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

Play Shump and Lin with them. That would be an excellent defensive (and unselfish) team with Chandler in the middle.
