Knicks' Reliables, Expendables

Submitted by L.P. Rochester NY, Dec 21, 2007 16:05

Nice , keep 2 players that only defend & dunk. Good defensive minds not great. Only 60% as far as where they need to be mentaly & physically on the Defensive end of the floor. Nate can be a good backup if coached right! Wilson Chandler & Collins should stay they 're young & have alot of up side.

Z-Bo is a good rebounder , hands wise & he has a nose for the ball. As far as effort wise he could average 3 more bounds per game. Curry can go ! He's getting too much money w/ no focus or determination to get better each game effort wise, rebounding ,blocks & Defense above all.

The fact is Zeke was hired to Gm & bring in talent, which he did!

The problem w/ Dolan & Knicks fans is impatients! If we could have rebuilt through the draft & "little" through free agency we would have been fine by now. But since alot of people were looking for a quick fix we're now 5 years behind schudule.

w/ a roster full of 1 on 1 players it is imposible to get enough wins to be considered decent in the NBA.

It s a team game & when you think of Zach , Jamal , Curry & a supposed playmaker in the point guard Stephon players who are not really effetive @ doing anything unless they have the ball in hand.

Then you take D Lee., Balkman , Q Rich ,& pretty much the rest of the bigs who cant do anything offensivly unless assisted by the guards via pass or a kick out by Curry & Randolph , that makes for an offensive insufficient ball team.

Zach does the most w/ out the ball but only rebounding. Once the ball goes to Curry or Zach for the most part they are forcing a shot good or bad. they need to understand once the double team comes & the ball is kicked out that should make for easier attempts. & if the ball is kicked out early enough in the shot clock then the swinging of the ball may allow the bigs to get it right back for a layup. Simple bball!

If coach can get the bigs to pass out of the double team we'd be much more effective on the offensive end.
