I guess a-rod is busy.

Honestly I'm not very optimistic, especially if that gimmick lineup turns out to be true.

Have at it folks.

According to Jason Jones' pre-game blog...

Paul Westphal is still being coy, only agreeing to speak about the new starting lineup hypothetically during his pregame media time.

That (hypothetical) lineup is:

G Tyreke Evans
G Luther Head
C Samuel Dalembert
F Jason Thompson
F Carl Landry

Bleh. I don't like the fact that Thompson is the starting SF. Like I said in the past, what's good having him at that position if he is not exploiting his opponent on the other end (having Thompson posting him up)?

Also, if you guys noticed when we put Thompson as the SF, this encourages teams to pack the paint. Other than Head, there is no perimeter shooting in that lineup. This would limit Evans drives and kicks.

The lineup just screams "PACK THE PAINT" to other teams.

It screams a lot more than that. The league must think we're a joke.

At least there will be more offense off the bench...

Lmao, I don't know about you guys.. but I'm actually happy to see something new in the lineup. This will be interesting to say the least. I also like seeing JT get the start. I don't care where it's at. Let's go JT!! Prove all those haters wrong!!

it's not so much that JT is starting, it's just there were so many different lineups they could have chosen.

The Kings are actually leading in the first?!

Definatly a good start so far. Dont get this lineup tho. JT starting at the 3? Also, I don't think Head deserves to start. I guess he's quicker than Udrih

Jim Grays says PW said the lineup is for defense.

Are we playing good or are the Knicks playing bad? Maybe I'm just dreaming.

Jerry just said the Knicks players were overrated! LOL. I love Jerry, he speaks truth.

Definitely a bit of both. They were just missing shots. Now they're playing poorly. We're doing alright here though.

And Demarcus is playing by far his best D of the year. Like, I don't know where this is coming from.

Amare is still bad they paid all that money for guy that doesnt pass the ball , play defense or rebounds.

i dont really like how reke plays... forcing things too much

The starting lineup is certainly not what I would have proposed as my "dream team", but I won't argue with the results. The Knicks may be playing tired given that this is the 2nd of a back to back for them (and they do look sluggish). However you still have to be impressed with the overall performance in the 1st.

Since Beno came in I'm seeing way too much guard domination, and not the right kind.
