Upon the NBA

If you are a fan of the current NBA THIS ARTICLE serves to debunk a series of myths about the game.

The Knicks are now 0-3, following a close loss to the Warriors yesterday afternoon. You can refer back to my comments at this blog's inception regarding Larry Brown and his use of young talent. I said during the Olympics that his "stick with veterans" stance was wasteful when he is loaded with young talent. Flash-forward to yesterday, when it was readily apparent to the entire viewing audience that youth was getting the Knicks their best shot to win. Nate Rob, Ariza, David Lee, Channing Frye, and one of the vets was the winning combination. These are all hustle players who get after the ball, and whose effort makes up for rookie mistakes. Antonio Davis is a veteran, but I still take what the #9 pick in the draft gives you. Just for S&G, here's my rotation:

STARTERS ----SUBS
PG- Steph -----Nate
SG- Q ---------Jamal
SF- Ariza-------- Malik/Barnes
PF- Frye------- David Lee
C- Curry-------- Antonio D/James


Here are some in game units that could work

PG- Steph------ Nate------ Steph
SG- Nate------- Jamal------ Q
SF- Q -----------Ariza------ Lee
PF- Lee--------- Malik----- Frye
C- Curry-------- Frye------ Curry


Larry Brown should look into this before we start looking for ping-pong balls.
