Raptors, Grizzlies, Wizards, Bucks, Celtics, Hawks at home. Those should be winnable. Unless the fans boo.

I think Isiah and this group has made great strides if you are thinking a GOOD team might be found among these lot of players....

3rd worst record in the entire NBA. Those are some great strides.

I hear people speak of this thing - "UK Mafia" or "UK Cosa Nostra". I gotta tell youse, it's a myth. There is no such thing. If there was, there would be no "list" of members.

Even you must admit they are a lot more watchable than they were a year ago under Larry MoneyBags Brown...

Seriously, you're hanging your hat on, "they're more watchable"? If they still suck, who cares?

Maybe it's because the players haven't quit yet like they did last year. But if and when the losing continues, do you think that they won't inevitably quit?

You can dress it up as nicely as you want but if they stink, they stink.

The team is a work in progress. I would take 4-2.

4-2 would be an acceptable performance IMO. That would get us to 10-14, which is alot better than we were last year at this time. The biggest thing is that the Knicks need to win over the Garden fans. It makes no sense for the team not to be playing better at home. THe players have let the stink of last year go, it is time the fans do the same. It is clear this team is trying and improving. The Knicks really need to play hard these next 6 games, win at least 4 of the games, and win over the fans. Once this team starts getting a positive vibe at home (rather than the constant booing) we should be able to get back to or over .500 at home. If we can also stay around .500 on the road, this team makes the playoffs as the 7th or 8th seed and Chicago can kiss that extra lottery pick goodbye, which would make the Curry trade at worst even IMO.

I think we're seeing some progress in the overall game plan for the Knicks. We're a team with a lot of young players (5 1st & 2nd year players). They're beginning to execute better and provide more consistent effort over the course of the game. They're going to get beaten by veteran teams with more stability and it's going to be a continual learning process. I think 3-3 over the next 6 would be very solid, but they all seem like winnable games. All of these teams are kind of in the same boat as we are--- they're all trying to establish their identities.

5 and 1 not happening, 4 and 2 possible, 3 and 3 probable, 2 and 4 more realistic. Yes these games are winnable but these are the kinds of teams that give the Knicks fits, teams with unstructured offenses. They should go 6 and 0 but they just aren't that good or consistant yet. All of these teams have beaten good teams this year so they are capable of beating the Knicks.

We're not good enough to go 5-1. These are teams at our level. The Wizards are better. We'll do well to go 4-2.

This is why Dolan says you can't rebuild in NYC because of numskulls like you.

They stink, but they are more watchable because I see progress and hope.

Are they on their path to being a championship contender? Absolutely not.

But, do I see some players starting to try, starting to grow? Yes.

Is marbury & francis starting to try harder? yes.

Might they make the play offs this year? probably not, but there is hope.

Rebuilding is Curry, Crawford, Lee, Nate, Frye, Q, Balkman & JJ2.

I just want to see them put a stretch of 500 ball before they put that kind of streak together.

3 & 3 or 4 & 2 would be good progress for this team.

Its a matter of getting consistent.

In the NBA you HAVE to win on your homecourt. Thats it--we have to increase the expectations--even if we believe this tema is average. 5-1 might be a tall task, but if it was ME--that would be the goal I'd shoot for. I think 3-3 is a huge dissapointment. To be the man, you have to believe your the man, and then you have to act like the man. No more excuses here--they have to win games here. I hope they can do it, I believe they have the ability to do it against these teasm IF Curry continues his play.

Contrary to what most you guys think here a Championship team is not built overnight and it's not like instant oatmeal....Now this years version of the Knicks seems to be competitive in every game, unlike last year's version with the same personnel if I may...No, they haven't figured out how to finish yet, but at least they are showing signs of playing as a team....Detroit played 4 years together before adding Weed and vying for a Championship....This can actually be considered the first full year this team is playing together after the stunt Larry Clown pull last year...I see growth and thats important...It's funny that most of the haters here are always crying rebuilding...Well here you are gentlemen, the core of this group is under 26 years old, Isiah has used the draft to bring in some good ball players but you're still moaning...Go figure...Well I'll be here on my couch sipping koolaid watching Curry grow into a man...Watching DLee, Frye, and Q transform this mess...I'm just sorry it can't be done instantly to make you blokes happy...
