Charlotte Bobcats at New York Knicks preview -- Game 6

Mags with Brown in spurts is not going to slow him down.

I think the key is to stop Amare and to put alot of pressure the secondary scorers like Douglas and Shumpert so the offensive burden falls to Melo.

Could also be a good game to unleash Byron and his mid range jump shot – could be very effective in getting Chandler out of the key if he hits a few early shots as Chandler will have to honour him on the defensive assignment.

Other than that I wouldn’t mind seeing Bismack get a shot at playing on Amare, and Kemba and DJ abuse Bibby offensively – Bibby couldn’t guard a chair.

Why not freaking start one for defensive presence if nothing else? They might still get their lunch eaten, but their length can’t hurt.

From what I’ve seen with my eyes, New York’s offense is really, really, really bad.

was part of 3 team trade with griz, sixers and hornets. all the hornets gave up was a future 2nd rounder, they get a flyer on a prospect who could score in bunches in college but was behind a bunch of wing scorers in memphis. he will now have a chance to score on a team who needs scorers, and wont be expensive. plus anyone who can shoot and give us 14 plus per night is gonna help, we need scorers in starting and from the bench, henry could provide either.

I have a problem with this trade on 2 levels. one problem is why cant we be the one giving up a future 2nd for a young scorer looking for a chance like xavier henry. he could be behind magette and at the least score better then matt carroll. second C maresse speights was in this and was had for basically nothing as well. sure we have some help in mullens, but a post banger like speights on a charlotte team trying out rotations this season would surley help out. at least better then dijon mustard can “play”. this team is minus 14 in points so far , worst in NBA. we need defenders and speights would fill that role.

again, the draft plan by jordan and friends only works if you have a miracle worker like durrant who then also preforms another miracle by wanting to stay and help said small market. we need to be trading/acquireing young talent on 2 year deals/rookie deals or small 1-2 year FA deals. its gonna be hard to add guys to a team full of really good-not great draft picks. we need to do more then package augustin & najera for a future 1st this year. and we SURE need to do more then let diaw walk and save the 9 mill. these are 3 players who could be parlayed into players who DONT have albatross contracts, guys with 2 year deals, guys who can help or even lead on this blank canvas of a team.
