I'll admit that because of my new job, and the games being out on the west coast, I have not seen every minute of every game. That said, Larry Brown needs to play the kids. Frye can shoot and score. David Lee can shoot, score, rebound. Ariza can defend and finish - though he's still a bit erratic. But regardless, the three of them hustle all of the time, and probably listen to the coach.

Steph? Well, what have we seen of him since he's been in NY? A lot of last minute losses, games in which he scores 20-8-10 but the Knicks don't win, a handful of memorable misses late in games, and a pitiful start to this season, including a .549 shooting percentage from the Freethrow line. Okay - Steph, shut up and run the offense, or sit down and don't interrupt someone else who's trying to do it right.

Everyone knows Steph could score 20 points for you every night, but everyone also knows you NEVER EVER want him taking the last shot - so Q, Jamal, Frye - someone else had better step up.

I wanted to give Larry Brown 10 games before I started calling for his head - today's game at the Garden is game 10. Let's see how it goes. After all, 9 of the first 14 Knicks games are on the road - that's real tough for a young team. December should be a little easier in that regard - its 7 home and 7 away.
