Sasha plays 18 minutes, seraphin gets a DNP.

Do you really think this is how you build chemistry

When the whole board knows why there's a lack of prep, lack urgency, lack of sense of role, lack of rotational sense...points to one dude.

Roster sucking is one thing. That'll be addressed at the trade deadline and off season. Just laying down and dying against Utah, and showing signs of the same complacency in Sac is whole other story.

These first quarter deficits aren't just having a bad team, it's lack of readiness and energy from the starters. Direct reflection of players not knowing the gameplan or lack there of.

Grant has a major confidence issue at this point. He's had moments this year where he's been a pretty good performer, so you know he can play, but he is the type of player who is going to less aggressive if he thinks his performance will hurt the team- thus, he shies away from shots he would have always taken in college.

I've seen KP pull back on some open 3's, too, but he is clearly a more confident player at this point than Grant is.

I've seen more deference to Anthony, recently, especially when he puts himself into position for an entry pass, even he is in a midrange position or beyond.

Calderon, Gallo, and KP all dump it in to him without thinking. Our spacing also looks terrible at times when we are looking to force feed him, too.

I just think that Grant, a guy who is used to running the show, is having some issues at this point, and until he can be confident on a consistent basis, his minutes are really going to be limited.

Not sure what games you've been watching while the Knicks were playing in Utah and Sacramento...but it was clearly not the games I was watching if you are implying that Grant was worthy of more time on the court than Sasha.
