I have no reason why he isnt out there for 7-10 a game. Ive said as much before. But you know Snacks is plain no good and cant get up and down the floor more than three times in a row., But I hear ya.. to give someone a blow it seems reasonable. I think the 6-5 start was a bit of a reach. We snuck up on some teams that diodnt know what to expect. You make some decent points in this post.. But I really think we have to give Donnie a bit longer to make some moves. The team that started the year wasnt going to win 40 plus games out of 82. I am looking forward to what Donnie B-Ball does in the next month or so then I'll evaluate. Coach D. has made some stubborn moves with his short rotation as well.. So I would not give him a pass. I hear Eddy is back and practicing.. So thats something.. the games are much much more watchable and I bet we are in it tonite against the C's.. Should be a good watch.

It is simple Netiquette to NOT type in all caps. It is considered rude. Trust us on this. We welcome you passion and thoughts but -- with all due respect -- think it out and edit yourself before hitting send. I agree that the dead roster spots are an issue but this aint 1970. There is a salary cap to consider with every move and you cant just cut players and fill roster spots. The team is responsible for every spot on the roster. The Cuttino situation is working itself out. Walsh doesnt have the exception yet so he cant bring in a real useful player with that slot. I agree that Roberson and James are wasted space. Roberson should be cut and will in the next 10 days. James should be bought out .. but mariner is right . D'Antoni doesnt play more than 9 in a rotation anyway.so some of the players would be sitting regardless. Having Curry and Gallo hurt isnt helping any either. We've all sat thru the lean years.. Ive been following the team since i was real young and Frazier/Pearl were around... I sat thru Eddie Lee Wilkins and Ken the Animal Banister before we hit the lottery. But you've go tto admit.. these one and done strategies of making the playoffs doesnt serve the purpose. Remember when Marbury came in the first year and we were swept out in the first round? That was not something to look forward to. I feel ya on the passion but the players are much much more watchable than they were in the past five years and we have something to look forward to.. Keep it up and Lets go Knicks. The promised land is just around the corner. Bob.. It is simple Netiquette to NOT type in all caps. It is considered rude. Trust us on this.

I said we can finally sign role players and finally get those over payed contracts off our books. Lastly if I was a band wagon fan then I would have stopped caring for the Knicks once there record dipped. Stop assuming and read what I write sir. 10 man rotation are you kidding me, D'antoni never did that he had an 8 man rotation. In NY he is working with a team that doesn't have the stamina or the speed like the Suns had. I never said that we were gonna get a star on our team.

I have noticed lots of people from my elder generations do this and I am just lending some technical advice... The all CAPS thing is just rude and obnoxious. Its the equivalent of screaming. It also causes a good number of people to skip over what you read. Please use either all lowercase or sentence structure. Thank you. since your a fan from 66 I have to imagine you are a bit older.

I'm a die-hard knick fan since '99, I go in every season hoping for 82-0( but thats just fantasy). You cry about wanting a team that can play now like a 5 year old child. Do understand what it means to be under the cap, something the Knicks haven't been under for a long time. Look at teams like Atlanta and Portland they went through many seasons of looking bad and now there playoff teams. The Knicks are filled with over payed players which we are trying to drop. Its not a myth 2010 there will be good role players and solid players which the Knicks can sign. What confuses me the most is that you wanna go to the playoffs and being smacked on national tv how does that help the team? It didn't help us and it didn't help us when we played the Nets. Lets get a lottery pick and fill some holes and not waste our time being embarassed. Bob im tired of you’re mindless rants and atrocious comparisons.
