Isnt camby injured?
Earl can rebound, shoot from 12-15ft

Some shit just doesnt make sense

Camby has plantar fasciitis. But what it means? I guess it means that if it came down to playing an injured player or Earl Barron, they'd rather play the injured guy.

It appears they rather play the guys that get paid the most....

And doesn't Noah have the same injury?

I'm sure Camby can still play....just not sure why he hasn't played. He's been given plenty of rest all season.

I got LAMBASTED for starting a thread on this yesterday. I have been asking for it. His outside shooting would draw Hibbert away from the rim and would be a pic-n-roll monster imo.

Tyson refused to rebound like a man, can't score on his own, its past time for a change

Baron is practice fodder from what I can tell.

Is camby DNP or injured?

Right. It means Camby can play, maybe just not major minutes. I think the issue is Woodson has narrowed his rotation.

I thought The Barron tweaked his groin in the last regular season game.

From what I've seen there are reports thats hes injured but nothing official. It doesnt help that none of the people at the post game conferences will ask Woodson about him either.

All of this probably has nothing to do with Basketball , all in house politics.

Pigs doesn't play, Camby doesn't play, Copeland knocks down a 3 and gets benched.

There may be something to that. For example, the Knicks may want to resign Copeland. Well, if he goes off and has a great postseason, the price goes up considerably.

Because this is the playoffs and nobody cares about what's at the end of the bench unless those playing get thirsty?
technomaster @ 5/17/2013 10:18 AM
Meh. It means that Camby can technically play, but he's hobbled with horrible pain with every step. Makes him not very effective - he's probably more out of sync than Amare.

Because....Earl Barron sucks?

Seriously? If he is the savior for this team we are really in trouble if we survive past game 6.

tj23 @ 5/17/2013 10:50 PM
I wouldn't mind giving him a few minutes to see what happens. He's big, has a very consistent shot, and rebounded well last time he was here. Of course the question is, why doesn't he get minutes on another team? He's got some big holes in his game.

i remember earl had a barronsanity stretch at the end of season a few years ago, then we did not keep him,

he dropped something like 11/11 for a month

So why isn't he wearing a suit like Barron and Rasheed ?
