    Can someone answer me why the f.... McHale keeps making the same mistake by playing Lowry to the ground when we played yesterday and he was out there for almost every minute in the first half and he is not adding much on offense because he is dead and just hustles all the way?

    It great to watch a guy lay everything out there but come on trust your guys on the bench man, we will need Lowry later in the game not now.

    - bud playing well, maybe now we can extend the bench rottion by adding bud in
    - parsons should still start to keep the offense defence balance on the starting 5
    - is lowry gonna blame this game on himself?.... ppl say he is tired but he is avg like 30+ mins a game
    - a lot of stars avg high 30's low 40's
    - i think its a lingeringinjury prob or womething... hopefully a slump

    Lowry is magnificent. We ought to give him a few games off.

    Not sure what is wrong with Lowry, but glad Dragic is picking up his slack.

    He's just in a slump, but still we are 8-2 in our last 10.

    Can't argue with results.

    Relax, he played 16 out of 24 minutes. That is not insane for your starting point guard, and is hardly "almost every minute"

    Yep. DD declared Lowry was one of his favorite players earlier in the week, and he hasn't been able to buy a shot since! :mad::)

    Dragic is playing better than Lowry.

    Alright, i've called out Dragic a few times because he has made some bone-headed decisions in games this season but it's clear he is a great backup.

    instead of playing Kyle 40 mins, it should be more like 32 Kyle, 16 Dragon.

    play Lee at SG while Martin sits and have T-Will play minimal minutes behind him.

    Have parsons start for his defense, but give Bud at least 20MPG off the bench if he plays with the Huger he is showing right now.

    the 4 and 5 are fine as they stand

    I wonder what Jeremy Lin said to Stoudamire right before they went into halftime.

    The Knicks need to bring back JVG. Chandler, JJ, Fields, Shumpert and Douglas are all above average defenders. JVG will create defensive nightmares for teams with those guys.

    With those 5 guys shutting things down, Melo and Stat can just do what they and score and not worry about anything else.

    Also JVG likes playing inside out on offense. He will make the offense run through Stat instead of Melo.

    Maybe McHale should rest Lowry for one entire game and see what happens.

    Something is not right with Lowry at the moment.

    Kyle Lowry averages 37 minutes per game. Dragic averages 20 minutes per game.
