Knicksfan20 perhaps you should do your homework beforeyou start posting. The New York Knicks now have a new coach. He's just a hall of famor by the name of Larry Brown. Perhaps you've heard of him. Any one who watches sports center can tell you that Larry is not keen on starting Rookies and typically favors more "experienced" players. I believe that Nate is only one year into the NBA, so don't look for him to start. As far as your confedent analysis that "90% chance that Tim will start" I don't know where you got that one from. You see I actually do research before I post anything. I'm a member of NY Post. I regularly check the NY times, Fox sports, and even the "great" ESPN. This is why I can tell you that Marbury, as far as anyone knows, will start at the two gaurd. (that is shooting gaurd) Every thing else is really up to our own imaginations at this point. No one really knows. My sugggestion is that Penny can actually be usefull at the Point position. May be starting is a stretch. Sence all indications are that Marbury will play SG then Crawford will ether play point or will come off of the bench. Lets not forget that Tim is slightly prone to injury. He can bearly hack it as a SF. Do you really think Larry Brown will put him in harms way at the PF positoin? We'd be better of Starting Sweetney and benching Thomas.
