In all the years of the NBA, I can not remember a single team that chooses to give up height and girth on a consistent basis, without capitalizing on their obvious speed advantage. Part of the problem is that we are a poor rebounding team but I think the major issue is that we don't have a PG capable of pushing the tempo and/or breaking down defenses. That being said, we need to figure out a way to upgrade our PG position with a PG that can do this on a nightly basis because it is pretty clear that we are at our best with Carmelo at the 4 and Raymond Felton in the starting lineup.
this team could easily implode if woodson does not figure it out.
this is what we are afraid of,
the writing is on the wall for this one and this year we do not have the old wily drunkard in the pocket to bring stability

ironically the bench does run.
Agreed. What is the point of pushing the tempo and breaking down defenses when you eventually have to wait for Melo to get there and pass the ball to him?
im not saying that youre wrong on why the knicks are flawed...small teams should be able to run...i just think i can find other reasons...mainly our (poor) defense

melo would run if he knew thats the only way to get the ball.
