I agree, we have a bunch of role players that think they are stars. Al Harrington is a ball hog. And the young guys on the team are getting a bad influence from these guys.

if you don’t have the stars, it’s all about teamplay. look at the rockets – role players that understand their purpose and work their ass off every night. guys like harrington or robinson will never amount to anything because they thinks they are lebron jordan. chandler is dangerously close to adapting these kinds of habbits. someone (a coach maybe!) needs to tell him to get his act together quickly.

I’m all for showcasing Curry and Jeffries but why are we playing these other veterans that have no chance of being on the team next year and beyond? I know Jordan Hill is raw but the kid can only get better if he gets playing time. Same for Toney Douglas. As for Milicic he was supposed to get a shot at proving people wrong here about him but even he can’t get playing time. I’d even like to see Carl Landry out there. I think these guys would play more of a team game than the veterans that D’Antoni is going with. I’m not blaming D’Antoni for all the losing but he’s partly to blame here. I’m also blaming the players because they clearly are playing for their own agenda’s. Watching Knick games are not fun this year. I can’t take watching Jared Jeffries trying to take a jump shot, Duhon’s inability to score in the paint, Nate’s immaturity/erratic play, Hughes inconsistancies, Eddy Curry’s lack of desire, Al Harrington ball hogging…..I can’t wait for these guys to walk away in 2010. Good riddance.

As much blame as Dantoni deserves for doing a terrible coaching job, the Knicks had no chance at that game. Lakers are better 1-5 substantially at every position. The Dantoni green light is a joke at this point. Chandler is just retarded, at one point Breen had to say that he should realize the Lakers were leaving him open for a reason. Hes really terrible at this point. Curry got dominated by Bynum, but I will give him another month or so to really recover from his time off so he can embarrass himself even further because he just sucks. How is Duhon still starting? Not only should he not be starting, he probably shouldn’t even be in the rotation. He has no future here, and does not need to be “showcased” like JJ and Eddy. Of course, its not really showcasing, more like putting a spotlight on how bad both those players actually are and how someone would have to be retarded to trade for either one of them.

Jeffries was given the Kobe assignment so that’s why he got minutes. He actually did alright guarding Kobe, but in truth you can be on Kobe like a magnet and he’ll still J in your face. Kobe scored 34 instead of 62.

Jeffries ate more of Harrington’s minutes than Lee’s. Lee’s extra 10-15 minutes were more eaten up by Hill/Curry.

What also impressed me about TD and Hill is that they stuck to the “game plan,” unlike many rookies would have done. They played with discipline when many rookies and bench vets would have just chucked from all over with no defense in mind. Had that been done, the Lakers could have had 135 points in a run and shoot, no defense garbage time.

TD and Hill played like the game still mattered.

No he can’t finish, but what’s worse is that he think that he will score over 7 footers, regardless. How many times was he blocked? What is going on in his head?

Trevor Ariza went through similar criticism. Now look at his game. What he is doing in Houston I never thought was possible a few years ago. Give him time. I believe he will develop into a nice 2 way complementary player.

I don’t think Chandler is playing out of position right now, D’Antoni generally plays Hughes and Duhon or Nate and Douglas.

He’s just not playing well – but I think that’ll change one day or another.

He’s trade-bait though IMO.
