If anyone thinks Baron Davis is going to save the Knicks...
JYD replied to JYD's topic in New York Knicks Team Forum
I'll start off by addressing the Landry Fields statement RD... Fields is a player who needs to play WITHOUT the ball to be effective (quite the contrary to how A. most of the NBA is played and B. how most of the star players play) he does not fit in with Melo, who wants him to clear out so he can iso. Fields was geting 2-3 easy layups last season with backdoor cuts, slipping to the hoop, etc. and having guys like chandler, gallo and felton especially find him....that no longer happens. amar'e can't pass, the way the offense is set up, melo doesn't pass, and no true PG means Fields is useless on the court. he's NOT a good shooter as far as starting NBA 2 guards go, and he is rebounding like he used to. his style unfortunately does not fit with amar'e and melo. it really sucks that walsh didn't see that last year and did not include him in the deal and let us hold on to a guy like chandler or gallo instead. Quick comment about davis: some people do actually think Baron Davis is going to make a HUGE difference. I keep hearing "the season doesn't start til baron comes back." about a week ago I thought that may be true.. then i watched the past few games and realized, that's not the case. he wont have near the impact i once hoped. Secondly, RD is spot on in virtually everything he just posted here above. I think D'Antoni could be a good coach. Does he have a great philiosophy? No. Is it a "win a championship with this mentality" NO. BUT, D'antoni has proven he can coach a team. Ok, he had 50 win teams in PHX. He can coach a team with Melo, Amare and Chandler. They should be a pretty good team. I never thought this roster could win a championship, and we are so [expletive]ing far from it it's ridiculous it's even being brought up. but can he coach this team effectively to a top 4 seed? come on now, yes he can. He was livid last night with the D. What do you want him to do? He's not playing out there. The plyers will either give effort or they won't. IDK what people expect out of D'antoni. What about Woodson? Does he suck now because our defense was awful last night and he's sitting on the bench labeled as sometype of defensive guru... The NBA's coaches are far overrated as far as the impact is concerned (compared to the NFL for example). What league other than the NBA could a guy like MARK JACKSON just walk in and be a HC? NO coaching experience. That's crazy! No way a guy like Amani Toomer from the giants could walk in and be a head coach for the Seattle Seahawks, for example... So do I think d'antoni is our main problem?! Hell no! Right now he's not the perfect fit because we don't have a PG like RD said to run his style...and that's on our player personel guys to find someone who can effectively pass and distribute the ball. there's gotta be someone out there (mike bibby? really?) -

JYD replied to JYD's topic in New York Knicks Team Forum
He will help, he brings positives to the table i agree with that ^ but the Knicks are not a top team in the east, even with him. the team is far more than one 32 year old baron davis away -
westphal seemed like an idiot but whatever i wish the knicks could play Sacramento all 66 games

That could be one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard, and here's why. First of all, you're talking about a guy that has a bad back. Old + bad back = lingering problems. Who knows when he will come back, and how long he'll be able to play! He could go down at any time!! Secondly, yes, he's an upgrade over LF2 and TD23 (WHO ISN'T?) but this is not a 25 year old Baron Davis. He's definitely NOT washed up, but he is not that tremendous. Can he play any defense at this point? That's just as much as a glaring need as running the point from an offensive standpoint. Also, let's say he comes back mid Feb. At this pace, the Knicks could be in a 7th-8th seed spot. And what if it takes him 10-15 games to gel with the current rotation? That's time the Knicks don't have in a 66 game season! And lastly, the Knicks future hinges on far more than Davis. Douglas and Fields will still need to be WAY better for them to be a top 4 team in the East. The Knicks can turn this around. Baron Davis CAN help, and will surely help. But let's not act like they'll be a top team with Baron Davis, injured back and all, at the helm. That's just flat out false.

Yeah because like the 8th game of the season is HUGE...lol -
The defense is just so horrendous. I can't make anymore comments further than that, because it'll take too much time.G'night OTR

that's pretty funny...sanchez looked like your average guy in his 20's...so it was hard to spot him...but he's fairly recognizable obviously i feel like a bball player thats like 6'6" would be easy to spot haha

Just Met Mark Sanchez at a Chipotle restaurant near my house. Refused to take a quick picture with me and my buddies, he shook our hands, wished each of us a happy new year, and told us he didn't want to make a scene. So we accepted it, and went back to eating... Minutes later, he walks back in the door near where we are seated, he laughs and says to us "I'm not back to take a pic guys!" And we are like "aw damnit come on mark!" and he's like "just had to grab some napkins & forks" and we all wished him luck (the two buddies i was with are Jets fans...didn't want to be too disrespectful to him lol) he said "thanks guys, but why would you want a picture with a QB like me??" we were stunned and then he waved to us and left. Overall, it was pretty cool. he was a pretty nice guy. you could definitely tell he didn't want to turn us off...but the place was packed and we were the ONLY people who recognized him. Not even the manager, or any of the employees seemed to take note!
