1. Head Coach Mike D’Antoni has assembled four different starting lineups in nine games.
2. Their opponents have scored over 100+ points in every game but one (Jazz)
3. Opponents are shooting 49% from the field and averaging 109 points per game (2nd and 3rd worst in NBA)
4. NY is shooting 29% from three (27th in NBA)
5. Starting PG Chris Duhon is shooting 26% from the field and needs to be benched
6. Four of their eight eight losses have been by 12 points or more.
What i would like to see the Knicks do:
1) Start Toney Douglas, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, David Lee, Jordan Hill…Al Harrington has been effective off the bench
2) Play better defense
3) Buy out Jared Jeffries

Hot Stove New York uses Gravatars — short for Globally Recognized Avatars — for the pictures that show up next to comments.
Start Jordan Hill? Can’t we set more modest goals here? Maybe Jordan Hill should see some consistent minutes and few less DNPs before we thrust him into the starter’s role.
Also, it’d be dumb to buy out Jared Jeffries this year. Yes he is overpaid, but he’s not making Eddy Curry-money, he’s making $6.5M. That’s not a ridiculous amount of money for another team to absorb. Who would want Jared Jeffries? Probably no one, but you can’t buy him out while there’s even a prayer that he could be moved. Hell, Donnie almost bundled him with Nate and sent them both to Sac-Town at the deadline last year. I bet he’s regretting not pulling the trigger on that one now, but you never know what twists the NBA season might take.
1) We have to see what we have in Hill and the way Jennings is playing it should motivate him…
2) Jeffries plays 21 minutes a game…which is 21 too many
