I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!

Steady,

I don’t think that this is resolved because of tonight’s great win. Detroit played 4 in 5 nights, shot only 30%, and our bench played great. As long as E-Z-Q are starting, we will lose… despite the exception that was their good 3rd quarter…

However, it is nice to see Renaldo getting some burn!!!!

Jones, that is EXACTLY right! That is EXACTLY what the Knicks do!

T3, I wouldn’t go that far as Craw can be valuable as a 6th man sparkplug, but I would definitely trade him for a perimeter shooter for a team that needed a slasher…

I say send Crawford in any trade that anyone anywhere is willing to make under any conditions. The man does one thing well: shoot on the move. Oh, and shoot free throws…that’s it.

The thing that I like about Randolph, though, is his proven ability to score against elite competition. I don’t like how he’s played so far and certainly don’t disagree with your collective assessment of his defensive limitations. A player of Redd’s stature would be outstanding…and I suspect that Zach would fare quite well in Milwaukee.

Can’t the Knicks just spot teams 10 points and play 3 quarter of basketball with line-ups that actually mesh instead of subjecting us to failed experiment that is Curry Randolph

SML, great stats and I cosign your post! We don’t get to the line! Now without touching the BARF ref theory (which may have some merit), i bring it back to the Zach-Eddy pairing. Marbury is far less agressive while defering to the post and those two guys clog up the lanes wher marbury might roam. Curry is great at getting to the line when frequently fed

“Most people are saying that they are over-feeding Curry in the post (and Tadâ€™s Steak on 34th)â€¦” …I love it BARF! …the Warriors also weren’t tearing up the league when we snatched Sprewell. Operation “Get Redd” must be in effect. he is that perimeter shooter that we desparately need. Zack and Craw for Redd and Mason right now.

Temple, thanks for bringing free throws into the discussion. Free throws are huge because they could be relied on on off shooting nights. The extra attempts more than make up for the lower shooting %. …Curry is bad but NOT shaq-Wilt Zone at all…

I’m being facetious. Of course Curry remains the number one option. It would be nice if he could get out of the Shaq-Wilt Zone in terms of FT%.

Or should we just throw out the stats altogether with respect to the Knick guards since Francis only played 44 games and Crawford 59?

I dig your point SML. There is no question those three players could get to the line. And, there is no question that increasing the number of fouls drawn would improve their chances. And there’s the rub.

Curry and Marbury are poor free throw shooters relative to their position. Perhaps the best options for the dribble drive game are Crawford (arguably his ONLY asset) and some of the role players.

I think what you’re saying is is that this is a true mess.

The Bucks aren’t exactly tearing the league up with Redd in the lineup.

Like the Knicks, they aren’t in a position to ask for the moon in trade talks.

The only positive that can be drawn from a losing season is trade talks with other losing teams. They will be less inclined to think that you are cheating them. You both suck. You both are looking to get better. And because you’re records are obviously bad there’s nothing left to hide.

Now, dealing with a winning team, the Knicks would have to give a lot more than they receive. To the Spurs, the Knicks are desperate. But from Miami’s perspective…we’re in the same boat. We’re just trying to scratch each other’s backs.
