As Clyde says, Winning is CONTAGIOUS! When you have a teammate out there giving his all - others will follow.
With the "Tazman" energy, court awareness, and toughness, his teammates can do nothing but follow his lead.
I guess that, and how Balkman, Lee, and Nate, knows how to "search & find" each Knick oponents weakness then take advantage of it to outscore their oponent whether its applying more defense or speeding up the offense these three players does it well together. And that makes me a happy camper about this Knick-Team.
I have to agree with all the Fans which notice that Q.Richardson slowness at the SG position, his experience does not weigh up to compete with the speed of these young SG. Players like Wade, Rip, Felton, Gordon, and Kobe would get 20 points at half-time with Q.Rich defending them, because these players dont stop moving and running around teammates picks on offense.
Q.Richardson "Back-Injury" got the best of him.
Should the Knicks use the "Switch" in the Starting lineup vs certain Teams?
When a healthy Renaldo Balkman return, Coach Isiah Thomas should weigh each Knick oposition to let SF-Balkman Start in certain games and SF-Q.Richardson Start in certain games, all depending on the oponents frontcourt Starting Bigmen.
I also believe the samething should be done with SG-Nate & SG-Crawford in the Starting lineup, and PF-Lee & PF-Zach in the Starting lineup.
Because we already know that Marbury & Curry will Start all 82 games this season.
Doing this would develope "Confidence & Chemistry" among an 8-Man rotation early in the season.
However, for this Knick-Team to have great success they have to use their Depth-Chart in alot of games going 10 to 12 men DEEP on their roster so their main 8-Man rotation is always fresh and out of foul trouble in the start of the 4th qtr.
Many may say different, but Malik Rose & Collins should be the 9th & 10th Man off the bench to average 6 to 12 MPG this season (Nate Robinson has showed repeatedly that he is the BEST Combo-Guard on this Knick Team and Crawford should strictly play 95% of his playingtime at the SG position only.)...
