What if I think they will be better than last year AND have chemistry issues?

Let me be first.
The Knicks will have some optimisum going into the 2006 - 2007, not because of the departure of LB, but because they have been together for over a year now. (this my opinion)Honestly they were all strangers last year, if I was the coach I would have started the backcourt who finished the year before to have some consistency. The concept of taking x amount of games in the competitive regular season was flawed(again my opinion). This years Knick have the benefit of playing together from last year and also I hope they will be given actual roles so they have consistency. With Thomas already knowing that his neck and reputation is on the line he will actually coach his ass off this year. I think as a gm he makes trades and drafts to what he would want as a coach. This may be his downfall from last year and his biggest asset this year. He brought in these players, I can also guess he is confident in them too. Not being too much of a homer, I believe this team will play above their collective heads to prove a point. Hence my answer to the poll is "They will play together as a team".

Just state that in your post.

Again gentlemen, no bashing just post your opinion.

I guess I already did

I think they'll play together as a team. I think the key guys on this roster like each other and REALLY want to show that they aren't losers. I think they'll LISTEN to Isiah and overall I think they'll ALL bond together this year. I think they'll be anywhere from 41-45 wins. Tho I previously said 42-46, I thought about it some more and a good starting point is to at least be .500 and if things go real well, they can exceed that by a few games.

I really want to see this team make the playoffs. I think it will be great for this teams development over the next few years. Unlike last year I think this team will actually improve as the season goes along and their chemistry together in this system develops.
