Eddy Curry dominated the smaller guys the Suns had to use to guard him after Thomas fouled out. He also had a huge block on James Jones to preserve a 135-133 lead.
David Lee rewarded Coach Brown for starting him with a Bill Walton-esque performance (10-11 from the field for 23 points and 15 rebounds).
Jamal Crawford played like Jesus Christ and LeBron James rolled into one, putting up a 29, 7 & 7.
Marbury even played great, scoring 32 points and dishing out 10 assists.
I really like the rotation of Curry, Frye and Lee up front. I believe Nate and JC can be a powerful backcourt.
Quentin Richardson and Jerome James have been a waste. James was suspended for last night's game for conduct detrimental to the team for not being ready to practice on Saturday.
Trevor Ariza, once one of the most promising Knicks, did not play at all and is likely going to be buried on the bench in Brown's new smaller rotation.
Some perspective, the Knicks are now 8-21. Last year, through 29 games the Knicks won twice as many games. They were 16-13 before stumbling to a 17-36 finish.

How come Frye is getting very few minutes these days?
He cannot defend the perimeter defense well because he is not quick enough, therefore he could not guard marion or Diaw or run around the perimeter chasing players
I watched the game last night. Perhaps it is a sign of things to come. Nash is sooooooo good. Marbury is not great. He misses a lot of shots that "superstars" are supposed to make. He is a good player but not the best PG in the game.
