anybody notice how FREAK'N aggressive he was in the 4th quarter? he was demanding the ball at times (he didn't get it) and when he got it with kg on him, he went right at him. the double came so he had to pass out but we got easy shots b/c of that. (hmmm, inside/out...that might just work).

i like how everybody is playing now and i love how lenny goes with sweets down the stretch. he grabbed some nice rebounds, made a huge deflection, got a nice garbage basket, and hit 2 nice jumpers in the flow of the offense.

is he ready to start? tough to make a case when kurt and nazr are playing so well but man, he's going to be really good.

is there a team with a better 2nd unit than us when craw comes back?

Sweetney has been playing great. I honestly think he's ready to start, but his minutes will obviously be dictated by his fouls. I love his post moves, and it appears his defense is improving.
That Knicks Life episode with him should be on now if anyone hasn't seen it yet. Pretty entertaining.

I'm now at a cross roads. Do I buy the #50 jersey or the #21 (think I got to go with Ariza...or both).

here's why you leave him in this role:
He's still foul prone. I hit on this a bunch of times. His m2m is very solid but his help sucks. Now when the guards D like they did tonight its no big deal. Let him come off the bench on just focus on playing hard, and not have to worry about foul trouble.

the other reason is KT. He's been playing well and especially as Sweetney gets better you know KT will get moved this offseason. Better to more a starting PF playing D at a high level and getting you 10 boards a night than a possibly disgruntled 30+ year old with a long deal.

as long as sweets is getting that invaluable experience playing down the stretch of games, it's all good. btw, you see his defense down the stretch. kg was pretty much a non-factor offensively.

matt - wait on ariza. make sure we re-sign him first, then get it. i bought my sweetney jersey after i found out isiah took him to those playoff games last year with marbury.
