Moz always had the talent, he just lost his confidence during the season. If Moz can improve his rebounding and stay out of foul trouble, he'd be great for us.

Mason is a waste of money. If we can't move him this summer I say just buy him out and cut our losses.

I always thought Moz should get more playing time. We're not facing the elite nightly and it's not like we have anyone else on our team that'd be doing an amazing job against the elite bigs in the game. We could've definitely used Moz against the Lakers.
I say give him 15 min when you can. More when we face below .500 teams.

Word...don't see what the big deal is. Dude has the talent and he will not build up any confidence warming the bench, bet on that.

[h3]Knicks To Hire Warkentien As Consultant[/h3]
Jan 31, 2011 06:52 AM EST
The Knicks have reached an agreement with former Nuggets general manager Mark Warkentien to join the team as a high-level consultant, according to league sources.
The hiring may be a prelude to a larger role in the future.
Warkentien, who will work closely with president Donnie Walsh, has a strong relationship with Carmelo Anthony.
A contract has been drawn for the NBA's 2009 Executive of the Year, but is still awaiting signatures.

Everybody has different feelings for different reasons for different games.
Most dudes are gonna be super hype when we play the "elites" and get a W.
Some dudes are gonna be hype when we get a W and a guy like Based Gov does his thing. The others will say it's just Detroit.
Speaking for myself, I know there are some W's that just make me feel jittery. Like the Miami win.
Last night I felt like progress was made with a player that we drafted and expected to be a part of what we do going foward.
Not everyone is going to feel the same way about every W or L.
Maybe you are somebody who is a "XYZ Team" hater, and if the Knicks beat them it's extra. Just cause you don't hate that team as much as the next dude don't mean they shouldn't expand
emoticons the largest possible fit in the post.

No one's going crazy....but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try and see if he can give us SOME sort of production after this. Trial and Error Run #2. If he's able to contribute, good. If not, let him develop more in practice. Simple as that. The only way if you can tell he's actually developed over the past 2 months, is if we play him during game situations. Duncan/Jefferson/KG/Bosh etc. will feast on this team whether Mozgov plays or not, because our defense is a straight up liability period. But having a 7 ft to eat up space is better than letting Chandler and Turiaf have to go head to head against big men they can't guard.

Also, it's just the Pistons but they are an NBA team with NBA players. Gordan had one of those games where a bad team like Detroit pulls it out because of his performance. We were missing 2 players that are in our rotation. (I know Pistons ain't have Stuckey or Wallace too.) And if you look at the box score we basically played with 6 players last night. This was a big win.

I said this to myself when I saw his stats. It was rookie center vs. rookie center but I still support.
Rookie center who hasn't played minutes in about a month and a half versus rookie center who has been playing steady minutes and improving on both sides of the ball.
It was the Pistons and w/e other excuse is out there but I don't see what's wrong with saying he earned himself some playing time with his performance yesterday after being benched for so long. Especially with Turiaf and Amare hurting a bit.

What I meant is we shouldn't put too much stock into his statline because of the fact that it was the Detroit Pistons. They're a sub-par team this year.
I loved the Mozgov signing and thought he'd perform really well after he got used to the NBA game. Unfortunately that hasn't happened. It's 1 game that he played extremely well. Hopefully this boosts his confidence and he can continue to perform well.
I just don't want people to think he can perform like this on a nightly basis (it took Amar'e to be questionable, Will being hurt, Turiaf being in foul trouble and Randolph playing like crap for him to even see these kinds of minutes).
Like I said, hopefully it's a stepping stone for him, he gets minutes and performs enough to keep him in the rotation. Especially considering we have a void at the Center position and this is precisely why we signed him. HOWEVER, it was still the Detroit Pistons. If he can perform like this against some middle of the road teams such as the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks, etc, then we can be optimistic.
I didn't watch the game, but I listened to the first two quarters on the radio. And from the sounds of it, he missed some really easy putbacks and dunks.
But I think he can be a really important player for us, so here's to hoping that he becomes that!

We got Roger Mason, Jr. because we needed a shooting guard. The Knicks refused to give up a first round pick for Rudy Fernandez. Landry Fields wasn't an option for the shooting guard position that time. The Knicks signed Mason, Jr. for one year $1.4 millions anyway.

*E-Hug, Hi-Five* Glad to see someone using their logic in the post. You would've thought Moz did all of this against Dwight Howard in game 7 of the ECF
