No Devin Harris aka Knicktynite means we should stomp them good.

Take Duhon out and put in Douglas and we good!

we are we trying new lineups that doesnt put in a real C. im really getting impatient.

i dont care care if darko plays 10 minutes a game he should start especially when we play a team with a real center...

Yup, every line up I see with Lee starting at C instantly makes me feel like it is a failure.

Duhon
Chandler
Harrington
Lee
Darko

Gallinari
Nate
Douglas
Jeffries

9 man rotation!

The rotation you listed is the one i'm longing for. Most of us seem to agree that Darko should at least be given an opportunity to start at center, a position which Lee clearly should not be playing. I wonder why D'Antoni won't start him? It makes all the sense in the world to me.

Why is everyone leavin' out Hill... what playtime do we expect him to get if he doesn't even play some preseason?... :evil:

if this rain continues, then i'm going staying in tonight.

GO KNICKS!!

I'm planning on going tonight. Sure it's just pre-season, but it's something at least!

Brunson2Spencer · Post #12 » by **Brunson2Spencer** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:15 pm

I'll maybe be out in the rain cheering the Yankees rather than watch a pre-season game but have fun.

why do they always have to play the same time as the yanks

If we go with a 10 man rotation which is not ruled out I think he cracks it. Once again:

Duhon
Chandler
Harrington
Lee
Darko

Gallinari
Nate
Douglas
Jeffries
Hill

Then again, Hill could get Jeffries minutes if he pans out. I'm not one of those who's impatient with him. I think he'll be a special player given time.

Damnit...

The first preseason game I am home for and the Yanks play at the same time...

I'll have to catch the re-run.

Baseball is boring until the 7th - 9th inning anyway, and that's only if it's a good game.

i dont see dantoni going more than 9 guys in teh regular season i would love to see these players get the most minutes

starters:
duhon
chandler
gallinari
harrington
lee

reserves:
nate
douglas
darko
jefferies

i know that starting lineup bombed against the celtics but i think thats there best starting lineup...i think dantoni needs to set his starters soon and let them start playing together in the preseason games so they can gel by the start of the season

Exactly!

Teams can't wait to hit the court when they see the Knicks lineup. Mike you're kiddin me right? Lee at center when you have a capable player to play that position already on the roster?
Then he has that bum Jeffries at SF!
The starting lineup is just so damn awful man.
