I hate that he doesn’t play Walker more. With the minutes he’s unloading on the starting 5 Mike is going to end up burning this team out or getting someone injured … hell Tony D and Felton are already battling injuries!

I’m not a fan of either of those two, but I can understand why the Knicks got them. With Andy they were hoping for a polished player who could come in and contribute right away, a la Landry Fields. It was a second-rounder, and most of those guys never make it in the league, so I’m just impressed that they hit a solid double with Landry. I mean after John Wall and Blake Griffin, it’s not a leap to say that Landry’s the next best rook.

In terms of Roger Mason, well, I wasn’t a big fan of the signing at the time (although for some reason many other Knick fans were). However, with Azubuike injured and neither Walker nor Douglas having shown that they can produce consistently for a full season, Walsh took a gamble that Mason could return to his old shooting form. But he’s been awful. And Walker’s torrid shooting in the final 20 games of last season turns out to have been for real.

Why the hell did they sign Roger & draft Andy???

They both look like scrubs (no offense) and the team already has better options at the 2 in Walker, Azubuike and Douglas?

Why must this team always have a Chris Duhon on the roster every year? Why?!?

It has been forever. I think lately they’ve actually had a far better mix of 3′s and going to the hole. But I dunno about looking for Moz down low more often…

And Brendan, yeah, I agree, it’s a bummer that Randolph can’t play/produce, but it’s been the right move to sit him.

5 WINS IN A ROW, IT’S BEEN FOREVER SINCE WE DID THAT. KEEP MOVING THE BALL, LOOK FOR YOUR SLASHERS, MOZ IS ALWAYS OPEN DOWN LOW….MORE 2′S LESS 3′S AND WE WIN MORE GAMES UNTIL MELO GETS HERE, THEN WE TAKE IT ALL…..

The Knicks did the right thing by cutting the rotatation down, as much as I hate to see Anthony Randolph sitting on the bench, it was the right move.
