They may be overpaid. They may not play defense. And they definitely stink. But in the two games since the brawl, the Knicks have shown heart. Marbury's driving layup beat the Jazz in OT and now David Lee's miracle tip-in beats the Bobcats in double OT.
The Knicks have a lot of talent upfront. Curry is proving himself to be a consistent scorer but he needs a lot of work on his defense and rebounding. Channing Frye also needs to get a lot tougher but he can be a dangerous scorer, especially from the outside as a big man. And David Lee and Renaldo Balkman supply plenty of defense, rebounding and toughness. Love watching those two guys play. If they could get some decent unselfish guys in the backcourt who can stop opponents from driving the lane, they might be on to something.
If they could just get in a brawl every few weeks, they'd be in good shape.
