God posts like this really annoy me, number one he shot 5-15 which is terrible against smaller defenders all night, he was forcing his shots and not looking for his teamates, he almost commits an offensive fall every time he goes to the hoop, not to mention he had 5 turnovers

He help seal the knicks fate with two terrible plays in a row, then the bitch doesn't get back on defense, he is a cancer, doesn't try never will.

And Isiah needs to sit Crawford down and tell him this isn't Chicago or the play ground, he is the worst decision maker i have ever seen in a knicks uniform, and that says a lot when childs was the pg, and starks who never met a shot he wouldn't take played here.

He messes around with the ball and then throws up off balanced shots having no regard for his teamates.

Lets not even mention the backcourt might as well not even cross half court because Steph, Craw play no D. If not for Kurt Thomas we might not win 30 games

He had 15 and 8. Isn't that like a typical Keith Van Horn performance? He even had 4 fourth quarter points. Isn't that like 4 more than Keith usually gives?

And as fun as Crawford is he doesn't know the team concept and would be better served as a point guard, so lets hope he continues to play well and then eventually we can move him, not giving up, put his style is to similiar to Marbury's for them to coexist

If I had family problems God forbid but I would have to suck it up and be ready for work everyday unless something tragic happened.

Its not as easy as you are making it sound. It can be hard for some people to "SUCK IT UP" and go about their daily business. If he has some family problems, move him to the bench and bring him back once he recovers.

exactly......

but we are talking about basketball here.

example from my life.....my sister passed out in school at the begining of October. She just blanked out on the way back to her dorm room after class. She spent 3 days in the hospital and is still going through tests because she keeps having these types of episodes. The doctors think it's her heart.

I haven't seen my sister since September. Why? Because my job would not allow me to miss time like that....I would have to call out sick and probably will not get paid for the time I miss. She's only in Long Island. Even on my off days from work I can't go see her.

After all that I still have to go to work.

here's another quick example.......my son's mother was in the hospital for 2 months after the birth of my son because of a staph infection. Do you think I got time off? I didn't get paid a total of 4 days because I just called out sick just so I could take the baby to see her.

this is the difference between 14 million dollars a year and 40,000.

Trade Tim Thomas.

You are lucky you can deal with misfortunes that well but not everyone is that good at it. My grandfather died a couple of years ago. My father didn’t show any emotion but my uncle was devastated. He couldn’t stop thinking about it for months. It’s just how different people deal with situations differently.

All I am saying is that if TT’s problems are stemming from some family problem, give him time to recover but once he does, he will be much better.

Last night I was both discouraged and encouraged by TT's play. Let's not mince words, the guy played horrible last night. He had a guy 4 inches shorter than him guarding him last night and he's trying to force drvies. Just get in the post and turn around and shoot over him. Unfortunately TT has never developed that understanding of his own size and strength. But I was encouraged by his aggressiveness on the offensive end(even with the bad results). All players have shooting slumps, his problem has been a lack of aggression. But last night despite all his flaws at least he kept at it. If he can continue that over the next few games he will definitely bust out of his slump. Problem with TT is that he has a hard time sustaining efforts like that.

let's not confuse simple effort w/smart basketball guys...Shandon Anderson gave all out effort every game he played, but he just wasn't any good...TT played a good 1st half & a crappy 2nd half...he needs to work on his consistency & not only play harder, but play smarter.
