Im done with Pablo and Shumpert. Move Jason to the position where we got him for back up 1 guard. Install JR Smith into starting lineup--tell him to STFU play hard and smart. Amare new best 6th man in basketball. Shumpert is not ready for NBA basketball right now. Send him to the league to rehab the NBA starting unit is no place for a rehabbing 2nd year player--hes done. Copeleand is a good energy player and thats a good role for him unt-it two with Amare in th post and Novak at the other wing.
This line up is our only chance to turn it. Please enough with Shumpert and pablo they both suck and put Kidd into the position he came here for. Its pretty easy I think we can change things with this line up.
I would start Amare. Keep JR on second unit. Start White send Shumpert to rehab league. Insert Copeland in as back up to Melo.
It's called the D-League and Shumpert is not going there
Start Amare for JKidd and give him 30/35 mins per...Put Shrump back at the two...Copeland ahead of Novak...Demand the team play hard every game even with the upcoming brutal stretch...Hold guys accountable for defenses lapses...Give White some burn...
The Knicks made some promises to Kidd when he signed that has to be broken...Dude is done...15/20 min per night tops...
Start Amare but continue to keep his minutes between 25-30
Woodson's fear of Kidd is mindboggling
Maybe he is afraid by benching Kidd he will lose his Head Coaching job to Kidd

Novak is killing us on the defensive end..Twice last night his man blew by him and got other Knicks in foul trouble who then had to sit significant minutes..The minutes he gives to Novak with all his defensive lapses is also mind boggling..
Novak's minutes will be limited once Sheed and Camby return. He will lose minutes to Kmart who will see time at backup SF
Woody is doing a poor job with the line ups...Playing Shrump out of position when the kid needs to be comfortable...Inexplicable reliance on JKidd and Novak..I hope he has a master plan...
Shump and his agent, Happy Walters, probably not happy with the Knicks
Cope definitely needs minutes. Not sure why he is being treated like a rookie at 27.
Because he is a turnover machine, doesn't defend, doesn't rebound and is a Euroleague System player
Turnover machine???..0.6 per game??
Im only ok with startng amare if we play zone
Putting Prigioni behind Kidd is where where I disagree. Let somebody else shoot 15 % and see if they stay in the rotation while Prigioni has our 2nd best shooting 41% with the 3 ball.
He's not tired , he's had enough rest. Pablo's shooting 46% from the field, Kidd 39%

Done. Better than garbage switching with low IQ players. Coach to your strengths not weaknesses

Agreed Kidd needs to be shutdown completely but is Woody going to do that?
Only way he should play with fresh legs is if something happens to Felton or Prigs
According to hoops hype rumours, Omri Casspi is about to be bought out, and wants to go to Memphis or Houston. is he any good? I remember we were interested in him a few years ago. Would he be worth adding to the lineup?
Hakeem Warrick released by the Magic too
Knicks need help at the guard position. I assume we will deal with that issue in the off season.

He also has rejuvenated the lineups hes been in several times this season yet he often doesnt get any minutes in 2nd halves.
Pablo has been one of the bright spots many times and he gets the end of the bench:?
Martin starting? That's very Woody, sign a guy and immediately start him.
