Comments on: Watching from a distance http://knicks.lohudblogs.com/2008/09/30/watching-from-a-distance/ The unauthorized Knicks blog from Journal News beat writer Mike Dougherty Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:50:36 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Starks4ThreeYes http://knicks.lohudblogs.com/2008/09/30/watching-from-a-distance/comment-page-1/#comment-9277 Starks4ThreeYes Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:12:43 +0000 http://knicks.lohudblogs.com/2008/09/30/watching-from-a-distance/#comment-9277 "I feel like my responsibility is not just to make some jump shots, but to also kind of transfer some of that experience, what that’s like, what that means. And not to impose my will, but when it’s needed, to help, whether it’s practice, or whatever it is.” I can't help but believe that, with respect to certain things like what it means to be a Knick and playing in MSG, Starks and Oakley thought imposing their respective wills was part of the job. I just don't see Houston being as strong a presence as someone looking to play this role needs to be. “I feel like my responsibility is not just to make some jump shots, but to also kind of transfer some of that experience, what that’s like, what that means.

I love the Lee and Crawford quotes as well. It's fun to get consistent news. I think David and Jamal are amenable to advice and to coaching. There really hasn't been much in the way of consistency from the bench. The lineups have been in a constant state of flux ever since LB and they have looked disorganized on offense and defense. Maybe D'Antoni can get them comfortable in a system. That’s a great post, thanks Mike. I love the Lee and Crawford quotes as well. It’s fun to get consistent news.
