So who's gonna take his place in the starting line up?:jbhmm:

Honestly from an X's and O's perspective, I'd LOVE to see Grant working with Calderon, Melo and KP spreading the floor and RoLo setting his brand of screens. You give Grant D-Will and Lance at the forward spots and he finds space to operate in the margins, it'd be fun to see how he'd do with Melo and KP (plus far less demand to create for everybody). His opponent's FG% been looking very strong on the individual defense tip too.

Realistically though, Galloway's defense and willingness to let the game come to him would fit in well. AA gets way more touches off the bench and Gallo no longer bares a scoring burden, he just takes what the defense gives him and focuses on shutting down the best opposing guard.

I understand y'all saying seraphin gets too many touches compared to kp, but dude was on too. The only person that's seems to violate kp is Calderon, he rarely hits him.

But kp and seraphin got some good chemistry like I've been saying, look how last night they were looking for each other constantly kp to seraphin in the post and seraphin to kp for the oop. I'd like to see more of them on the floor together.

And we better change that title before Wednesday :ufdup:










Please:mjcry:

Can't lie... haven't seen the last 4-5 games just been checking box scores.

But I still don't understand why Galloway isn't getting more minutes. At this point it has to be affecting his confidence, which is not good since he's the future and could be an all-star.

Honestly I think it's an issue of having TOO MANY players on the roster who deserve minutes. Knicks have 14 guys that could legit play starter or back-up minutes in the NBA. So for the Knicks the strategy should be less (players) is more, which would mean a trade. Calderon is not the present nor the future for the Knicks, so packaging him with a couple other players for a solid wing could be the move.

And still not sold on D Fish being the coach of the future.

I read on the daily news website this AM that KP calls Calderon a good mentor and good friend and that he's been helpful to him. :jbhmm: That shyt shocked the hell out of me. I assumed Calderon hated him for some reason. He doesn't look for him and looks him off when he has good position. I remember a play yesterday Jose was trying to push the ball :skip: and he had KP streaking down the right side. 7'3 KP. How the fukk do you throw a pass too high and behind this lanky mufukka? :martin: 1st time I can remember him even attempting to care if KP got involved.

Creflalo $ looked good yesterday. I just wish he had some arch on that jumper.:scust: He hits it but that thing is ugly. :scusthov:

We have an open roster spot....any defensive minded 2's out there looking for work? :damn: Throw me some names. Guarding the 3 point line is a major issue.

Cleanthony Early is now on a team that's more successful than the actual Knicks. :mjlol::mjcry:

He's been moved to the undefeated Westchester Knicks. <--Our thread needs to speak on this developmental team also by the way. The future of the NBA may be to really focus on these teams for Galloway type players. There are some gems that require just the right situation and development and could turn into solid players.

Also, anyone have an update on Melo's ailment?
