Listened to you?
Just about everyone has asked for Tyson, Stoudemire, Melo, Shump and Felton as our starting 5 although I feel Stoudemire doesn't fit with our team. I could be wrong, but I believe everyone dating back to the offseason has wanted to see Ray, Iman, Melo, Amar'e and Tyson as our starting 5...
Yes Alan agreed with me. We just had a conversation on radio

No most fans and media feel the Knicks are better served with Amare on the bench which I completely disagree with. This team is only going far in the playoffs with both Melo and Amare playing like the $100mil stars they are
I put a lot of stock in Hahn's opinion because he is around the team all the time especially Woodson

Alan Hahn is now simply a Cablevision shill. He's no longer the "Knicks Fix" guy. He's a Dolan employee.

On television. On radio after the game he is honest. Rips the team. Even ripped Melo lastnight. Saying he is 3-20 last 3 games from 3 maybe its time to realize the 3 is not working and take it to the hole.
Alan is a fan like us he has the same pulse on the team. Not like others who go through the motions for a check

This is a problem with the team as a whole. When great player's/team's shots aren't falling they change up their gameplan and start driving, posting, and trying to draw fouls to get their offense going. When our team can't hit shots they still continue to take long jumpers and threes instead of working for a better shot closer to the basket. Sometimes, it feels like they talk more jumpers when they aren't falling.

Read the paper today? Woody criticized Melo for taking one instead of penetrating. Nice, but has Woody changed the offensive gameplan so we shoot less threes?
Team is falling appart.
Camby is not coming back anytime soon...
Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Marcus Camby told me his foot swelled up after Thursday scrimmage. Might be another reason for Brewer-KMart domino.
Last night Woody did finally use the word settling. Describing the Knicks jump shots.

He's said it before. He already has pulled JR aside in practice and told him to take it to the hole stop settling for jumpshots. I'm guessing he hasn't done the same with Melo.
Problem is all these guys are low IQ players. They may take it to the hole one game then theyu quickly revert back to old habits
It is what it is
2015 can't come soon enough

There's your New York Knicks 10-12 man rotation
Now its on Woodson to get this team back to .650 ball and the 2nd seed
If we fail to get to the ECF then blow it up in the offseason
Glad we move Shumpert in a lateral move only to win an extra playoffs game and still be embarrassed by Miami, Indy or Chicago
Been calling for Kmart since last year. He adds much needed toughness to this soft squad
Shumpert is not a starting NBA player--hes not even a reserve right now.

What other options are there James White? Amare in the starting unit brings offense at least we know that much. You take whatever Shump gives you offensively if anything at all this year. Its not like Kidd is tearing it up at 2 guard
If Bruce Bowen can develop a 3pt shot then so can Shumpert at the very minimum
