Knicks · Game thread: NY Knicks vs NJ Nets at 2PM. First look at the Knicks big 3! (page 8)

maybe shump should anchor the bench scoring for now. man alive. seems like the knicks have a lot of weapons.

love what tyson is bringing to the defense.

wait, Melo just dished to Balkman! maybe Melo's the PG!

Bibby/ Shumpert (Derek Rose, eat your heart out)
Fields/ Douglas
Carmelo/ Jeffries
Amar'e/ Harrelson (nice range homey)
Big Fella/ tbd

Shump will be the starting two within in a month. He's Spree.V2.

He isn't a point guard. seriously. he's not.

Imagine this:

Davis - Bibby
Shumpert - Douglass - Walker
Melo - Fields - Green
Amar'e - Outlaw
Chandler - Jorts - Jeffries - Jordan

Could happen soon. Would make us a really solid team all around. Fields and TD bring both offense and defense to the bench. Wish it happens.

yeah, that's the lineup i posted in the lineup thread. how great would it be? that's what I want to see. add Baron and Outlaw and I think this team is a legitimate finals-contender.

i'm sorry, he just can't be the PG.

we need baron.

For us to be real contenders, I sadly agree. Love TD, but he'd be better as the instant offense sg from the bench

he's fine as a scoring guard and a good defender. don't ask him to run the point. it's not in his game.

you could see melo kind of trying to explain that last shot setup to toney after the buzzer. i think melo and amare are gonna be frustrated by toney a lot this year if he's the point.

Solid 1st half for a sloppy first preseason game. I'm just glad they're finally playing, though.

He hustles but hes not necessarily a good defender, hope im wrong, Shump on the other hand just might be.
