Why are the Knicks so bad?

No defense.  You got a bunch of shooters (Marbury, Francis, Crawford, Rose...) who don't want to pass the ball.  And a weak post presence.  Most nights, those gifted guards will put up their points.  But Knicks opponents never have trouble marching right past them into the paint and collecting easy baskets inside.  \n\nI bet it bums Larry Brown out when he turns to his bench and sees that Ben and Rasheed Wallace aren't there.

I thought he was pretty messed up in the head anyways. Now I know he is, because of tonight. U HAD THE CHANCE TO GET MARCUS WILLIAMS (YES WE KNOW ABOUT THE 60 MILLION DOLLAR BACKCOURT WITH S***BURY AND FRANNYCHISE), AND INSTEAD U GET SOME UNDERSIZED POWER FORWARD FROM S.CAROLINA WHO U COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THE 2ND ROUND!?! NOW, IM NOT A KNICKS FAN, BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR WHOEVER IS, BECAUSE U GUYS ARE IN A BLACK HOLE AS LONG AS ZEKE IS THERE, AND TONIGHT HE JUST SUNK U GUYS DEEPER IN THERE.

For me, this is just better than nothing. Larry Brown is conservative and not a good coach. However, I don't see Isiah Thomas is a better option. Anyway this is not a problem.\n\nThe root of bad performance is the poor players. If I am the director of Knicks, I will make some other moves as followed:\n\n1. Trade out Marbury for another star player. (Every Knicks fans want to see this and this is only hope)\n2. Focus on J.Crawford as the centre of the teams.\n3. Find some good PF, SF or C in the free market. (Garnett is impossible, find someone close)

The Phoenix Suns are definately slacking. The team this year looks nothing like the championship contenders from last year's NBA Finals. They are trying to get Amare Stoudamire back into rotation which is a bit challenging because it changes the lineup a bit. If you think about it, the Mavericks are off to a bad start too. In due time, the team may get better, but they need to improve quickly.

Ya Isiah is Ruining the franchise more than it is already was Larry brown who screwed up as a coach with 42 different line ups! i mean their is no chemistry their! Renaldo Balkman was chosen 20th by the knicks he shouldnt have been in the 1st round but in the second round but i truly believe no one would have toched upon him he could ahve been free agent and the knickscould ahev signed him! the knicks neede adn still need a pure point guard and a good passer. MARCUS WILLIAMS the best guard in the draft adn the best pure point guard adn passer! Knicks had a chance to get him instead they got some sucky guy like Renaldo Balkman. I mean they passed on him and the NJ Nets got him thier rivels, with the 22nd pick and then they got Josh Boone a very good forword! Two huskies back-to-back! The Nets made a samrt move because they ahve an amazing point guard who can replace Jason Kidd when he retires which will be soon. Now Jason Kidd can teache Marcus WIlliams some tips and handers to help him, I mean Jason Kidd is an amazing Gaurd. The Nets drafted two huskies basck-to-back  adn thats really smart because Marcus WIlliams is friends with Josh Boone and they were on the same team (Conneticut Huskies) so they know how one another plays, so they wont have a problem and then they are surrounded by some of the NBA's best: Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and Richard Jefferson. They also ahve Kristic who can get some bench time and have Josh Boone Play. Like in the Playoffs when Nets faces Miami and couldnt take on Udonis Haslem and Shaq, especially Kristic. He was having a hard time and no nbench time because no one was good thier to replace him for a while. As for the Knicks fan i am a big one and now really like the Nets too even though they are the Knicks Rivals. The Knicks needed a pure point gauard and passer but they dont get one instead draft Forwards! I mean seriously, Isiah is a very good drafter, after all he was the one who Drafted Channing Frye and Nate Robinson, he also got David Lee who sint that bad.I don't know how but the knicks need a miracle and need to pull thier act together. When the Knicks drafted Renaldo Balkman, Spike Lee was like he is a sleeper and will remian a sleeper . a sleeper\nKnicks are giving Isiah Thomas 1 year to pull the team together but he messed up already with  the draft i mean if u had the chance to Draft Marcus WIlliams who was like a really good top 5 canidate i would draft him. Well lets see wut happens with the Knicks.\nIsiah is beoming and amzingly bad GM

They have no help down low. They have a talented backcourt with Marbury and Francis, they just need a big man down low to give them support.\n\nPerhaps the Knicks can draft Rudy Gay out of UCONN. He is a PF who can really be effective in all aspects of the game.

Hahah, im pissed i dont get to watch knicks games living in Massachussetts cuz they are my fav team...but my buddie back home gets nba league pass, and he always leaves me a voicemail when the one man show nate robinson tries to do soemthing outrageous....i heard he didnt even get taken out of the game for that......but since the knicks arent going anywhre, i dont mind him pullin stunts like that.

Toronto and New York are the two worst scenarios in the NBA right now. Unless you count the Lakers. I wouldn't want to go there unless I was a defensive specialist because with Kobe on the team, I know that I would never get to shoot the ball.

I dont even know whats wrong with them. They were last year almost in the playoffs they had like the 9th Seed. I dont get how they got worse. They got one of the best coaches in NBA History. To great rookies in Channing Frye and Nate Robinson. Quentin Richardson who was amazing last year but is terrible this year. Jalen Rose Who was the 2nd best player on the Raptors after Chris Bosh. And they have Steve Francis. And They Still have Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford. \n\n     I think it is just a chemistry Issue. I think they need to get rid of either Stephon and trade him for a less selfish player and someone who can play Larry Brown Basketball. And they should get a decent first Round Draft Pick they gave one to Chicago but they got one back from Toronto. So they should get whatever there missing which I think is a consistent Big Man.\n\n       Knicks Starting Lineup Next Year\n\n         PG Steve Francis \n         SG Jamal Crawford\n         SF Jalen Rose \n         PF Draft Player like Joakim Noah from Florida\n         C    Either Channing Frye or whoever they can trade for Stephon \n\n             With a team like that and Larry Brown They should be one of the best teams next year. I think there biggest problem is adjusting from Last years offensive team to this years Larry Brown Defense

you're totally right, the knicks may have been successful before, but they could never be considered a dynasty. really the only reason i think anyone  gives a damn about the knicks anymore is due to the fact that they play in the garden. at this time the knicks can't even be considered over or under rated because they are not even rated at all. like the dallas cowboys are in the nfl, the knicks are just a rich team who are comprised of a bunch of washed up players no other team can afford or don't really want to invest in due to their age or if they're prone to injury.

too many players who needs ball to play good.there is no balance in team.\nbad management(read I.Thomas).\n\nthey need trade some players this summer to be better next year

You should've said basketball draft as not everyone knows that you are impersonating a pro basketball player.\nNot always the team with the worst record. The lottery pick winner. \n\nLook on ESPN.COM they are up to date on those things.

They drop too many passes, have no running game, and the defense isn't very good except for Julius Peppers.\n\nFor more on the Panthers and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Keep taking the ball to the glass, following through on teams shots to get the rebound, getting back on defense, not allowing the team to become comfortable with a big lead.  Isiah is a bad coach and eventually New York will see it, when it happens I just hope it isnt too late.
