or all of the above lol

ignore the other poll

Now you are gonna be sceraming to kill Crawford everytime he touches the ball!

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny.

Defense was about what we should expect from this team. They got some stops down the stretch. Craw played tough D on Hamilton 2 possessions in a row. KT did a good job boxing out Wallace at the end. This isn't a team that will shut anyone down for a whole game. If we get some stops in key situations, that's about as much as we can hope for.

To me, the key was not calling a timeout w/ 28 seconds and setting up a play to isolate someone -- I'd choose Marbs, not Craw -- at the top of the circle. It's the same end-of-a-quarter play everyone runs because it's the best way to use nearly all of a shot/game clock and still have a good chance of getting a good shot or getting fouled. Plus, you'll have floor balance to get back on D. Or we could of run the pick and roll,w hich was working for us. Anything better than the chaos and standing around that led to Craw's stupid shot.

Then, we run the same lame out-of-bounds play twice in a row even after it didn't work the first time.

What was Lenny thinking?

Why do we always have to have a face to blame? They win and lose as a team. We get heroes and goats, but its a team game.

The process of a young team not having learned yet to win is to blame.

ANd its games like this that teach them those lessons!

its not like the ball went thru buckners legs, or Cweb called the phantom time-out!

me, personally, well i blame gunsnewing for the loss.

Question?

Why did Lenny keep taking Houston out?

Yeah He's trying to spare Houston's knees but damn.....if the guy is hot don't take him out. He was getting it going twice and Lenny just took him out for Timmy......

Craw still should have held the ball. The Knicks were up 1. I don't know what he was thinking. Even if it's a shot clock violation.

This is yet another win the Knicks could of had. My total for the season is about 6.......Knicks should be 17-5.

can't kill Lenny there. Just like Jason Kidd, Allan is strapped to being able to play only 20-25min a game. At least this time he put houston in late in the game for offense unlike the washington game where he could've had houston on the court just as a decoy in the final possession.

Then Allan drained a 17 footer in Prince's face and Tolbert says "a mismatch on one end is usually a mismatch on the other as well."

Bench TT

So cause he hit that one shot he will be effective as a SF? How many mins did Houston play at SF last night? Benching TT is one thing, playing Houston at SF is another.

Posted by gunsnewing:

Houston played 21min. I think more than half of those were at SF and he was the best defender out of TT, steph, & jamal

If thats the case then lets start him at SF.

I could blame Crawf, but Lenny is the one that should have taken control of that situation. Marb was wide open while Crawf had the ball. he should have simply motioned for Crawf to pass the ball to the PG. By the way, why didn't he take a time out to errase any confusions if there were any? We were ahead by 1 point, and Crawf rushed the shot with more than 4 seconds in the shot clock..

someone said the play was broken. If panicked, Craw's first instinct is to shoot. Marbs is to take it to the hoop!

Its not lenny's fault if the play busted and they panicked.
