Big Night, Big City

David Lee and Chris Duhon had a huge might last night and proved their value to the Knicks. Last night's 138-125 win over the Warriors was highlighted by a freakish effort on the part of Lee (37 points, 21 rebounds) and Duhon

USA Today reported that Lee's outing was the first 30-20 game in regulation since Patrick Ewing had 36 points and 21 boards against the Sixers on Jan. 23, 1994.

Nice game, let's just hope it can fuel a string of wins before the Knicks fall further into doom.

NY POST: Lee and Curry Go At It!

Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting that David Lee is out grinding Eddy Curry for the starting center spot early. You'd be hard pressed to prove Curry is ready to run in D'Antoni's offense based on his hustle stats. He's not quite the rebounder and athlete Lee is.

After wandering in and out of Zeke Thomas' rotation, Lee is scrappy enough to make hustle stats happen in a fast line-up. However, camp is still pretty young and we're still a week away from the start of preseason.

Odds are Lee will start. However, a visit from a certain Uncle of Curry's to the Knicks upstate camp location may be the push the big fella needed to crack the starting five slot.

It's no secret that SportingNews puts out the best NBA annuals. Lindy's and Athlon Sports do their thing too, but SportingNews is no joke. They break down all the teams and dish some solid scouting.

This year's issue has been a good read during the work commute and other weekly subway travel I've done in the last week. The New York region cover featured David Lee. Too bad they don't come out with an all-basketball mag ever week. Any magazine that puts D.Lee on the cover is worth the subscription price. - CAPUTO
