We haven't showed enough against teams with healthy rosters that we will pull it thru. Lenny's hair is starting to become more gray after last night. Low post guy is needed in the worst way, plz sign Vin and let him become that 2 time all-star again in the post. Close games won't be won on the perimetter all the time.

he's better than Kurt Thomas.

You answered ya own question. He will stetch defenses just like having KVH, BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY FROM THE POST

The knicks need all the help they can get, Vin Baker would help the knicks make the playoffs. Dude is sobered up and ready to help somebody come playoff time. Good competition in practice is just what our roster needs. Lenny better snap it out and get this team hungry again soon.

Sweetney is looking good lately , but isn't it to late for him to be put under this kind of pressure and asking him to be flawless in crunchtime in big games we need to win. He should have been playing all yr but didn't get a chance until zeke came aboard. Marbury needs some rest now, is penny now our back-up pg, has Frank played enough minutes to re-gain the confidence he once showed under Chaney? These are critical situations that need answering. I hope sweets does play almost flawless ball and makes his free throws and Frank gets over his mom's death last thursday. Sweets didn't fair to well when his dad died.

No need for this thread anymore. I opened, and now I offically declare that the playofs are over. We have failed miserably during the critical strech. Nothing we do now will save the season.

I wish the did, but the I'v watched the games, and it looks about as bad as it can get. It is like there is a curse on them. Which is exatcly how things look when players stop trying. Luck favors the hardworking, a lucky bounce is really just the result of pursiuing the loose ball all night long. When a team keep loosing on tough breaks consistently you know they are not hussling. And that is the worst thing to happen to ball club. At this levle of competition the only thing that seprates these guy is how hard they try, aka heart. We got none. KVH had more heart then TT, and the rest of the team is soft as paper, Houston???. Marbury is still immature, showing his age, you gotta remember he is 26. Mohammed is also struggling under pressure. In a way we got what we asked for. A young inexpereinced team that does not know how to win yet. I guess I can't complain that much.

Truthful? Well... maybe from the heart, but there's no truth in opinion. Besides, it can't be the truth when Marbury is 27.

Anyway... almost all of our prime competition for playoff contention continues to win. Cleveland is SOOO on fire. They have the perfect team to knock off the Pacers or Pistons-- more size on the inside, and more athleticism and talent on the perimeter.

The loss to Philly was tragic... but we made up for it with our win today.

Next 5:
Washington
New Jersey
at Chicago
Atlanta
Memphis

4 home games, 1 road game. Going by the numbers, we should be able to go 3-2 again. Washington could pose a personal matchup problem for Marbury, but if we keep feeding the ball inside to our power game, we should be able to win.

NJ seems to own us... but we're more equipped than ever to match up to them. No one on our team can run end to end to stop K-Mart or RJ... so we'll need to execute on offense and play a prevent defense.

Chicago has all sorts of athleticism at guard and all sorts of talent at the power positions... but somehow it still hasn't come together for them. Anything can happen on a road game...

Atlanta now lost Pryzbilla for a while with knee inflammation. Now they stand absolutely no chance against us.

Memphis plays a high energy game... always pushing with fresh players off the bench. They use their depth better than anyone. While we have arguably more talented players (after all, isn't TT a top-5 talent?), as a collective they play hard and execute well.
