Brown's way of motivating is to break you down and build you back up. If you're thin-skinned, you won't survive.

And I agree with some of you about Crawford. Yes, the dude will get 20 for you. But if he can't be trusted in crunch time, what good is he? I say put him on the block, and see what you can get for him.

Well, were I Mullin, I would not touch him with a 10-foot pole. But then again, that's me. I think of him as... hmmm... oh yes: "Chemistry killer". :mrgreen:

How is he a chemistry killer exactly?

Knicks are only 3 games back of the final playoff spot in the east :proud:

Draft picks'd be good.

I'd trade Crawford for a nice SF or draft picks, but you'd still have to find a team willing to take Crawford from us first.

Never being in a winning team and having defensive liabilities of the nth degree qualifies him. :wink:

How does that mess up team chemistry? It's not as if the Knicks these days are exactly renowned for their winning or defensive prowess.

And that's exactly why I would not want him on my team. :wink:

That still doesn't explain how it messes up team chemistry. If you've got a pan full of oil, adding more oil isn't going to make it any worse.

Except if it's engine oil, that'll fuck it up.

Not unless you mix olive oil and motor oil.

Well, that isn't exactly a fair assumption. He's only played for two teams.

I'll give you that. But his shoot first-shoot second mentality does not exactly make him a prime candidate to develop into a true 'winner' someday.

Crawford and Q both played today and the Knicks beat the Cavs at the Cavs Quick & Loans Arena. 4 Game winning streak and life is good. :D

Knicks are starting to take baby steps....looks like Brown's teaching is starting to sink in. Nice road win in Cleveland, but a big test coming up against the Mavs.

Shaq had a lot to do with those. :wink:

The East is pretty tight right now. As I said before, I do believe the Knicks will hover around +/- 50% by the season's end. Let's hope it's enough to make the playoffs. (Y)

Indeed. We'll learn a lot about how much improved they are after that. Beating the Cavs is big though. Suns has definately been our biggest win this season. Wiz and Sonics were great wins, but neither of those teams are top teams, the Cavs are and the Mavs are in the elite 4 (Pistons, Spurs, Suns, and Mavs).

Nice streak right now, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high again and talk about the playoffs though..
The Phoenix game was a nice one to start a winning streak with. Could it be the turning point in our season?

Knicks are hammering Dallas now, 15 point lead. Hopefully they won't blow it though.
