The comback last night was inspired by a lot of people on the KNicks. But the tide to the game didn't change until Sweetney came in and took a pathetic all jump shooting team and brought some post play to it. This was probably Lenny's best move of the night and after that every move became golden and he can thank Sweetney for it. Turning point to the game Sweetney jam. He got to the line to cut into the Sixers lead with the clock stopped. Before that it was just Marbury doing his thing but Sweetney came in and helped him out big time. Others worth giving props to: JYD, Ariza, Moochie and H20

Definitely, and we have to agree that he should be used a little more, especially for his post play...

I totally agree! I was sooo mad when he took Sweets out for Kurt. He had a huge defensive stop! and was the only one scoring inside or from the line

which raises an interesting question. Are we getting the most out of all of our players?

I personally think that Sweetney development is being stunted by Lenny. I think its reached a point where he take Sweetney's mistakes on the court personnally. Where other players mistakes he seems to tolerate. I personnally think that Sweetney should be in the starting lineup with KT backing him up. This team is all about the jump shot and with Sweetney he brings a refreshing low post game which is lacking on the Knicks. The knicks are a jump shooting team that is all to content with putting up shots from 15-25 feet instead of having a balanced attack.

that is an excellent point. Sweets need more minutes and more plays run for him. And we do the pick and roll so much let sweets big arse run some of thos pick and rolls he's huge and agile.

sweetney is pretty much unstoppable on the offensive end. i think when he's in the game, the offense needs to go through him. until we establish the inside, we'll live and die by that jumper. we have enough guns to compensate if someone's is cold but eventually, for the playoffs, we need to establish it and sweetney is ready on the offensive end of the floor. it seems to make him better on the other end as well.

That's true. We have to keep developing him into that presence that we need in the low post. What I hope he works on is his fouls. Lenny has to give him the minutes but Sweetney has to make sure to make them productive.

Sweets was nice today. A rebound and foul magnet!

He looked alive out there. His arms are really long, he was right there with any of UTahs huge front line.

We got killed ont he boards today.

where was Azira? 4 minutes?

TT hit a big shot down the stretch.

THis is a very hard team to coach! So many to choose from! Many directions to take.
