The point guards of the Knicks have been pathetic so far this year.  They are probably very thankful that Baron Davis is ready to return to action.  He will have no problem winning the starting job.  25-year old Toney Douglas had the job to start the year and he was so awful the Knicks had to pull him from the starting lineup.  He has played in 20 games (9 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 23.7 minutes, 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game on a putrid 32.3% shooting from the floor.  He was replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Iman Shumpert and he has not played well either.  Shumpert has played in 16 games (12 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 30.4 minutes, 10.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game.  Shumpert is only shooting 36.6% from the floor so far this year.  33-year old Mike Bibby is running out of gas.  He has played in 16 games (1 start) for the Knicks this year and he is averaging 14.4 minutes, 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.  Bibby is 0nly shooting 32.8% for the Knicks so far this year.  Bibby could lose his job completely when Baron Davis is ready to play.

The Knicks only shot 38.2% from the floor last night and it did them in against the Rockets.  Amare Stoudemire led the way for the Knicks last night with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots.  Tyson Chandler also had a pretty solid game as he finished up with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot.  Iman Shumpert pitched in with 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in this game.  The Knicks are now 7-13 on the year.

The Knicks only shot 35.7% from the floor last night and it killed them in Miami.  Bill Walker led the way for the Knicks last night with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  He also shot an amazing 7 of 10 from three point range last night.  Toney Douglas only shot 6 of 18 from the floor but he still finished up with 16 points, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in this game.  Landry Fields (14 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal) and Amare Stoudemire (12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots) also pitched in for the Knicks.  The Knicks are now 7-12 on the season.

The Knicks really need 30-year old forward Jared Jeffries to step up with Josh Harrellson out for the next six weeks due to a broken wrist.  Jeffries has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 19.1 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game.  Jeffries isn’t as good of an offensive player as Harrellson is, but he is a solid defensive player and the Knicks don’t have many of them.

The Knicks need to start finding more shots for 23-year old shooting guard Landry Fields.  Fields has played in 18 games (17 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 31.5 minutes, 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game.  Fields has been shooting a lot better than Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire so far this year, so it just makes sense to get the ball to him more in the very near future.  Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

The Knicks will be without 22-year old rookie center for around the next six weeks due to surgery to repair a broken wrist.  Harrellson has played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 18.5 minutes, 5.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.  This is really going to hurt the Knicks as Harrellson is one of their best big men off the bench.

The Knicks were outscored 46-36 in the second half last night as the Cavs just seemed to want the game more.  Amare Stoudemire led the way for the Knicks in this game with 19 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 2 steals.  Carmelo Anthony (15 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 blocked shot), Landry Fields (13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) and Tyson Chandler (11 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) also pitched in for the Knicks in this game.  The Knicks are now 7-11 on the year.

The Knicks applied a brutal beating to the Bobcats last night in Charlotte.  The Knicks shot 50% from the floor and they outrebounded the Bobcats 53-33.  They also held the Bobcats to a paltry 32.9% shooting from the floor.  Tyson Chandler led the way for the Knicks last night with 20 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot.  Amare Stoudemire (18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot) and Landry Fields (18 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots) also had really good games for the Knicks last night.  Jared Jeffries pitched in with 11 points, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in this game.  The Knicks are now 7-10 on the year.

The Knicks just couldn’t keep up with visiting Nuggets last Saturday Night in Madison Square Garden.  Carmelo Anthony only shot 10 of 30 from the floor but he still led the way for the Knicks with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.  Landry Fields (18 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals), Iman Shumpert (18 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals) and Bill Walker (15 points in 11 minutes) also had rock solid games for the Knicks.  Amare Stoudemire (12 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Toney Douglas (11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) also had solid games for the Knicks.  The Knicks are now 6-10 on the year.

The Knicks only shot 37% from the floor last Friday Night and it cost them this home game.  Carmelo Anthony led the way for the Knicks in this game with 35 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.  Amare Stoudemire also had a rock solid game with 15 points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Tyson Chandler (11 points, 12 rebounds and 1 blocked shot) and Landry Fields (10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Knicks in this game.  The Knicks are now 6-9 on the year.
