Someone beat me to the Knicks praise thread. I've watched them a few times during this win streak, and I must say they not only have won these games but have looked pretty good doing so. I think the main reason for this is that Brown finally settled on a rotation, and guys finally started feeling comfortable with their roles. There's talent on this team, so the Knicks running off some good wins isn't all that huge of a surprise.

I actually like the way we've been closing games.

Marbury brings the absolute slightest bit of poise that the Knicks team has, and forces the defense to collapse on him, and finds holes pretty well to pass out of.

Crawford has been playing very well, like someone finally taught him what shot selection meant.

Nate Robinson just makes things happen on the court, great hustler.

Eddy Curry can play inside with the big boys.

And the combination of Mo Taylor/Antonio Davis/Channing Frye/David Lee, pretty much whoever has been having the good game.

The ending lineup has been doing its job, which is why we're taking the close ones.

To be fair, the rookies kind of fell flat this game. The guy above me said it right -- Marbury brings them some semblance of poise. Crawford and he just looked in control.

Btw, they're winning with Quentin Richardson playing like Ryan Bowen.

I think LB knew all along that Lee was a good player and would be in the rotation. I think he took the time for the Vets to hang themselves in Nov/Dec so they couldn't say he didn't give them a chance to make the starting lineup, or get PT. Guys like Rose and the horrendous Jerome James are now taking a back seat. Funny you want to give props to Lee, but you should also admit that Frye is also a key to the Knicks success. But of course you wouldn't do such a thing now would you Cpaw? In to all fairness, Marbury finally realizes that we need him to run this team "the right way" in order to be sucessful and so far he is doing just that. The biggest test right now is seeing how we handle ourselves against the Pistons.

Brown had been playing Frye for quite some time so that doesn't really apply to my point. On the other hand, I made a Free David Lee thread in your Knicks forum before Brown decided to start him and the Knicks started winning. In other words, Frye was playing and scoring during the losing as well, so he doesn't get as much credit from me

1 coach down, 3 to go and then I can change my sig.
