Sunday Odds and Ends

David Lee sat down and discussed a few topics during 5 Questions with the Daily Dime.

SI.com gives the Knicks a C+ for their first half efforts. (I would have moved them up a half a grade based on good attendance- they’ve shown up most nights.)
Ken Berger is getting it done on cbssportsline. Below he talks [...]

Knicks First Semester Grades

We polled the fans to gauge their feelings on each Knick’s performance thus far and here were the finally tallies for the first semester.
Wilson Chandler B
Chris Duhon A
Nate Robinson B+
David Lee B
Al Harrington B
Tim Thomas C +
Quentin Richardson B- ( too late to vote, so I took the liberty)
Jared Jefferies (INC)
Donnie Walsh A
Mike D’Antoni A

Report Card: Tim Thomas

I got past the fact that the guy should have been better a long time ago. I remember him at Patterson Catholic (and Five Star) as one of the best players this area has ever seen, he had the tools to be Lebron before Lebron.
And that’s no stretch.
He was strong, could handle, had a jump [...]

Report Card: Al Harrington

As most of you know, I wanted Al Harrington over the summer and was more than willing to trade Jamal Crawford to get him. That  idea became reality when Donnie Walsh made the trade on November 22nd.
Harrington came in out of shape, because he was sitting out in Golden State. After rocky outings against Cleveland [...]

Mike D’Antoni

What I love about D’Antoni so far is that he seized control of the locker room from day one.
Why isn’t Steph playing? Because his teammates hate him, and the coach, who wasn’t a fan anyway, had an easy choice.
Eddy Curry showing up out of shape was insulting to his coach, and he made no secret [...]

Grading Donnie Walsh

Given the nature of his position, we have to grade Walsh based pretty much on what he has done since he arrived up until this point.  As the GM, Walsh does not have as much of a direct impact on the daily operations of this team. He cannot make moves every day to tinker [...]

Report Card: Wilson Chandler

Granted the kid has slumped over the past week or so, but you can expect that from a second year player who’s had plenty of responsibilities thrust upon him by his coach. He’s mature enough to get through poor play, and it speaks volumes what D’Antoni and Walsh think about him when he’s asked to [...]

Report Card: David Lee

The guy’s at near the top of the league in field goal % and rebounds and is a double double machine (18 of them).
Donnie Walsh has a real decision to make, which we’ve stated time and time again.
I’ve been wondering lately what exactly his role is. Is he a starting 4 on a championship team? [...]

1st Quarter(ish) Report Cards

A little late with these but I’m interested in the fans take on how each player has done through the first 27 games of the season.
Let’s start with Chris Duhon.
Duhon has exceeded my expectation and I’d assume Knicks’ management as well. He’s 4th in the league in assists, and set the team record for dimes [...]
