What Changes Should Be Made?

[Mr. J]

Obviously the Knicks are not doing well. With all their injuries, there still is no excuse to be playing like they were. They lost to the worst team in the NBA! I was really seeing a lack of effort from them also. But, I also think Lenny Wilkens is partly at part as well. I think Baker should have at least gotten a liitle bit of burn. I also think that Norris should have played more. He was shooting pretty well and made the defense pay for leaving him open. What really killed the defense. How many open shots did Dan Dickau get from Marbury. Marbury is a horrible defender. If we are going to call TT an underachiever we should mention Marbury as well.

My question to you is what can the KNicks do to make themselves a better team? Currently, they are one of the NBA's worst and the way they are playing, we will not advance very far at all. What can we do? Trade players? Get rid of Wilkens? What will be best for us?

I think we should try to make a trade for Kwame Brown. I think he could help the Knicks alot with his post defense and hopefully he becomes an offensive threat. We need to get rid of Lenny Wilkens and try to get anybody besides the guy we had before. We need to get rid of houston maybe we could get wally or rose in return because tehy only have to provide offense. This way we could send Tim thomas to the edge of the bench. I would go into more detail but im bout to go see a JV game at John Adams.

This had to have been said a thousand times...get a real coach! The game has passed Lenny by. We dont have many defensive players so we need a coach that will preach team defense. Or at the very least a coach who realizes when the man to man defense is useless and switches to a zone defense. Beyond that there's not much that can be done. All of the problems are injuries and coaching. It would be foolish to make a trade, unless it's TT, when we havent seen what we can do when were fully healthy.

Make TT's demotion permenant is one thing that should definetely be done. Wait for Houston to come around. I know some people are losing patience but if he starts playing like himself towards the end of the regular season we will end up kicking ourselves. Find Penny minutes from somewhere. Maybe use Hubie Brown's rotation. Stopping players from addressing the crowd would be nice. Everytime someone does that we get blown out. And hope the next time Marbury feels the need to say he's the best at anything he shuts his mouth. We've gone 1-5 since that bold statement of his. Losing games we should have won. If all the stuff I've just said is done we have a decent chance at making it to the Conference Finals.
