Zach Randolph Suspended

http://www.nba.com/news/randolph_080104.html
Zach Randolph of the New York Knicks has been suspended one game without pay for throwing his headband and hitting an official, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.

I didnt think he should've gotten suspended, it was a pretty pussy throw lol

This sucks, cuz like MSG33 said in the game thread, he had western conference expireience against duncan (not that it would help that much)

This is getting rediculous. In the NHL, the hockey players fight eachother all the time and get away with it. Zach Randolph throws a headband, and it's the end of the world. The good news about Randolph's absense is that he's suspended in a game the Knicks had no chance to win even with him in the line-up.Hopefully Zach learns his lesson that the NBA is mentally retarded when it comes to suspensions, and he won't breathe wrong ever again.
 
and wow-even with zach gone-isiah decides to start malik rose instead of lee.
I seriously think that with a few more minutes-we coudda won the game-look at how close we got with out him starting.

After watching the Spurs game last night, seeing alot of last season lineup on the court (Curry, Lee, Malik, Bum Q.Rich, Bum Jefferies, Crawford, Marbury, and Nate), it was obvious why Isiah Thomas drafted 6.8 Wilson Chandler and 6.8 Demitris Nichols, and picked up 6.11 Randolph Morris.
These three Rookies along with Balkman, Collins, Nate, Lee, Crawford, Marbury, and Curry, should've been the Knicks 10-Man Rotation from the Start of the 2007-8 season.

The Best Player the Knicks received in the Portland Trade in June was 6.8 SF/SG Demitris Nichols.
It would have been easier to get SF/SG-Nichols peremeter defense & offense to co-exist with last season players than the 3 years of non production from Q.Richardson, and the 2 years of non production from Jefferies, or trying to get Zach & Jones to co-exist with Marbury & Curry.

With the Peremeter shooting the Knicks could have got from Nate, Nichols, Chandler, inconsistent Marbury, and Dum Decision Making Crawford, in each game this season I doubt if the Knicks would've got blown out of 3 or 4 games this season.
Nate pressuring the ball comming up the floor each time and the defensive prowness of "Chandler & Nichols" would've made up for the "NO-Defense Marbury & Crawford"...
