If Shumpert keeps playing at this level, what do you guys think the Knicks do when Baron Davis returns?
I say we move Shump to the 2 and Let Baron take the point. I dunno though, I like Shump at point.

If he wears an armsleeve in the next game or two, then yes, he's becoming STAT again.is STAT becoming STAT again?

Damn brother. If your gonna' post everything I'm thinking, I'm might as well logout!Absolutely loved getting a laugher, we're back to .500, we got a nice revenge game coming Monday that we now have some improved play and confidence heading into where we should get to 5-4, then a big division game coming up against Philly to test us against a playoff team. Loved getting garbage time for guys, nice to get some people even garbage minute experience and rest others that play big minutes. Stoudemire looked very aggressive as did Chandler, Shumpert definitely looks like the real deal, Bibby again very solid and hit shots, Harrellson very solid off bench, Carmelo successful without scoring a huge amount (I mention because we need to be able to win without needing 30 out of Carmelo all the time), looked good on both ends. I realize some was good offense and defense, some was Detroit not being great, but we are looking improved, and seeing them have fun together helps the team too. Still not a big Dantoni fan so I hate to admit it's helping him out of the fire, but ultimately I want us to win, so I'm glad to see improvements, and hopefully a mini win streak helps us build confidence ahead of some tougher games to come.
*Awaits extend Mike Dantoni thread*
Either way, the good news is that come playoff time (we hope) the starting 5 might look pretty fearsome:
Davis
Shumpert
Carmelo
Stoudemire
Chandler
I want to see Jerome Jordan get more minutes. I'm not sure it's a wise idea to be giving Tyson Chandler so much playing time...we all know his injury history, plus with the shortened season...
Yeah I agree, especially games we are doing ok in, I'd like to find Jordan a solid 8 minutes, helps him develop and gets TC a little rest. Don't expect 15-20 or anything but he's shown a bit in preseason and limited time, and there are games where size is more useful too (prob Charlotte...) that he could be used. In a tight game against a team with quick athletic bigs like maybe a LA Clippers I could see him getting splinters, but there are plenty of games he should get at least 5 minutes and that doesn't mean him getting 5 minutes in garbage time tonight
I disagree on not letting Jorts shoot the 3-ball. He is excellent at it. He's like Dirk. Amar'e on the other hand... smh
