i hope we can get our defense going and shut them down to under 85
then let our offense do our thing, again our bench has the edge, should win this one.
interesting stat - Jamal Crawford is averaging 27.0 points against the Bobcats in three games with the Knicks. rush has been puttin up a lot of points lately so we need some good perimeter d on him and knight/felton. if we contain them and play well inside we should win easily.
the reason the knicks are struggling is cuz larry brown doesnt know how to use his roster
larry brown sucks
there i said it
im officially on the record as a larry brown hater
Relax man, Larry Brown is still trying to mix and match and see what lineups work. He is 10 games into his first season with a whole new team, give him some room for error.
The refs have been awful this game. I don't mind the foul calls but I mean, call them both way.
i dont know about that larry suck thing but i believe this team is not a larry brown team and if isiah tries to make this a larry brown team than isiah is going to look like a bad buy wit all the trades but i hope larry finds a way..if i was isiah i would have gone the safe way gone wit either flip or keep herb and hire Paul Westfaul as offensive coordinator
look how great detroit is doing without larry...they are putting up better offensive numbers than ever...larry limits his players offensive potential by trying to control everything
basketball is a game of streaks and momentum, larry tries to control that, he doesn't go with the "hot hand" at any particular time, as opposed to flip saunders who gives his players more flexibility
he puts guys out on the court who really cant score...channing frye should be playing 30-35 minutes a game RIGHT NOW. i dont care that hes a ****ing rookie. the guy is much more skilled offensively than mo taylor, antonio davis, malik rose, etc...larry doesnt understand that YOU HAVE TO SCORE to win ball games, and that good offense beats good defense, this isnt baseball.
watching last nights game made me so mad, because his 3,4, and 5 were all guys who cant score for ****. they cant create their own shots. the only time they score is when marbury penetrates and dishes and gets them an easy shot.
guys like frye and ariza can make things happen. guys like lee are monster rebounders and hustlers.
if qrich doesnt step up and start hitting 3's, the knicks DESPERATELY need a good shooter.
