It's a great day for the Knicks organization, and when Donnie Walsh says, "It's not the players, it's the mix of players" that has contributed to the team's struggles in recent seasons, Clyde Frazier and I second that emotion.
With that said, Clyde and I evaluate what affect the arrival of Donnie Walsh will have on the Knicks future.

It was another tough loss for the Knicks, falling to Memphis 120-106 at The Garden Friday night.
Walt "Clyde" Frazier and I like the grit the young players showed, but their lack of consistency on both sides of the court, especially defense, is what caused their downfall.
For the second straight night, the Knicks fell to a team fighting for their playoff lives and for the second straight game, Isiah Thomas gave the bulk of the playing time to youngsters.

I figured with LeBron James in town to play the Knicks, it would be a great time to discuss what a phenomenal player he is.
Of course he has outstanding numbers, but is he the best player in the NBA? And of course he has magnificent skills, but does he have any weaknesses?

The Knicks were unable to carry the momentum from their win over the Bulls into their game against the Rockets and lost, 101-92, last night at The Garden.
Walt "Clyde" Frazier and I agree that the Knicks lost this one because of the dominating performance from Yao Ming and too many turnovers from New York. Watch Isiah Thomas, Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson react to the loss by CLICKING HERE.
We are a little more than two months into the Knicks season, and obviously it is not going the way we all hoped it would. They’ve shown some superior signs, but have not been able to put it together consistently.
One thing is for certain, it’s too early to give up on the season just yet.
So, should the Knicks change their lineup? Play the younger players like David Lee, Nate Robinson and Renaldo Balkman more? Maybe change the style of play? I’ll try to answer these perplexing queries.
Eddy Curry scored a game-high 29 points and Jamal Crawford chimed in with 24 as the Knicks snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 105-100 win over the Chicago Bulls last night.
Walt Frazier and I credit the victory to a fabulous all-around team effort by New York.
