KVH has now scored 20+ points in 4 straight games now, his best run so far. Hopefully he can keep it up now for our game aginst the rejuvinated Orlando team. Frankie did his thing, Dice did his, Thomas held it down, Houston did the usal, it was a good win.

What ever happened to Doleac he hasnt been getting to much pt lately. Maybe he will be traded soon?

Northpole

Probably that no-trade thing from Layden. Chaney probably felt obligated to play him as he isn't going to go anywhere.

Rashidi

What happened to Doleac? Easy.

He is basically a crappy version of Kurt Thomas. The only offensive moves both have are mid-range jumpers, and Kurt is just a better defender and rebounder. The Knicks have been playing KT at center when McDyess is in. Throw in Mutombo, and there's really not much reason to use Doleac unless it warrants it. Doleac's PT had gone down before Layden had been canned, he hasn't played much since Dyess came back.

Knicks Junkie

Off-topic, but this guy I know, who is a hardcore Denver Nuggets fan, thinks Carmelo Anthony will follow the career path of Glenn Robinson and compares Carmelo to him in a negative way. He calls them selfish players who do not play defense. I think this guy is way off base, but I have not seen many Nuggets games. Do you think this is true?

Rashidi

Melo is closer to Jamal Mashburn than Glenn Robinson.

Mashburn can post up, shoot, has handle, and can pass.

Robinson is a black hole.

All three have similar defensive skills (few).

Melo is averaging 3 assists per game right now, not bad for a 19 year old rookie SF. In comparision, Richard Jefferson didn't start averaging 3 assists until this season (his 3rd, not including college).

truth

i also think KVH plays much better when Frank plays...I think the Knicks will also play much better....We deperately need a penetrator who can break down the D...Frank apparently has what it takes..Now h needs consistency and a coach who gives him a vote of confidence

Rashidi

I think it's more that KVH is over his knee injury.

If all it took were a penetrator to make him get 20 points every night, then he'd still be in Jersey (Marbury and Kidd) or Philly (Iverson). They aren't doing things any differently than F-Will.
