is by going to the free throw line more often.
I've noticed something consistent in our losses and that is the lack of free throws.
If you take a look at most of our losses you'll notice that our team is matching up in all the categories except free throws. We are usually getting to the line around 10-20 times less then the opposing team.
Our rebounding isn't even that bad. But our big men just don't get to the line enough. Kurt averages 2 free throws a game which is ridiculous.
I think we need a 3 man rotation of K.Thomas, Nazir and Sweet, including 30 minutes by Sweetney. I think Sweetney in 30 minutes can very realistically 5 trips to the line.
And at the 3 I wanna see JYD getting as many minutes if not more than T.Thomas. SInce T.Thomas goes to the line as often as K.Thomas I'd rather JYD get the majority of minutes and play some D.
I think Ariza can play the 2 and with Crawford/Penny out I wouldn't mind seeing a rotation of Marbury, Houston and Ariza w/Brewer picking up a few minutes at PG.
Now that I think about the key to the Knicks is getting rid of 2 of the 3 Thomas's.
