    I don't know how NBA coaches think, but perhaps an undrafted rookie in his first start doesn't have the latitude the vets have.

    • Anddddd ... they lose ...

      Their forums are ecstatic. Great play from the young guys AND they get to continue tanking for a better draft pick.

      • Was Baker in at the end?

        • Looks like they missed multiple shots right at the end.
          Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

            He sat for the last 5+ mins.

            [edit] They brought in Melo and Rose at 5:48. And they were down 1 at that point. And down 1 at the end.

                    It was a Baker run....defense, boards, steals, setting up the offense...then a couple 3s and a Hawks TO. It was SO heat check time.

                    The 2nd one, maybe not so much.

                    He was great. So much fun to watch!

                    • So the fans love him in NY. Small town KS kid just doing what he does. Are the Knicks Potentially grooming him, or just using him to wake up another player?

                        Logical sense would be to continue starting him. They played better today than they have been. So with that said, expect him to not play the rest of the year.

                        • Well. No one can say he was a career backup.

                              • A NY Post blurb on Baker's start:

                                Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek finally made good on his threat of shaking up the starting lineup as he stunningly benched shooting guard Courtney Lee for undrafted rookie Ron Baker for Monday’s M…
