No way!! .500 ball?!?! That's freaking awesome!!! And now Curry is making demands after this impressive 2 game winning streak?!? That's awesome!!!

Seriously, STFU already.

The Knicks are far from a finished product...If in making it's first strides they are .500 team with a core around 25 years old, well I think this is a good thing...But being reasonable and fair, I really think Isiah deserves another two years...Sure he made aggressive trades that has not all turned out to be stellar..But this organization was in a total mess when he got here...All I'm saying is two more years, let's see what Curry,Lee and Frye can be...That's all I'm saying...

No, you're saying that you think you've been proven right and us "haters" have been proven wrong so you're going to crow about it.

All because of this huge 2 game winning streak and because when you pick and choose what part of the schedule matters, you can say that they've been a .500 team between so and so period.

Nice.

I'm not sure why you are harping on this two win thing....I'm looking at the overall team...Everyone expected the Knicks to struggle at the beginning...We ae all trying to figure what kind we have...It's turing into a .500 team it seems...It's all in stages Isle's...You have to crawl before you walk...Lot of these players like Curry,Lee, and Frye has bigger upsides...Let's hope they grow in the second half and the potential are realized next year...Thats how the growth process works...

shouldn't this read knicks 22, haters 28?

HAHAHA!!!

Another absurd justification about this team without pointing out the limitations and the fact thats its going to be very hard to upgrade the 1,2,3 positions and create a balanced team because of Isiahs terrible spending......

Gloat all you want, but if you watch the Nets you can see how easy Marcus Williams makes it at times for players to get open shots and we still don't have anyone with those skills........

And if you think Frye has a ton of upside your lying to yourself he is what he is a good jump shooter nothing else, he makes an occasional jump hook but still can't use his body and rebound consistently.

You want to tell me eddy is an asset I agree, his defense kills us, but if he can get other players into foul trouble and learn how to play the game the right way he will be a home run, you want to give me DLEE you got it hes going to be great, but the rest of the team there isn't much promised, I'll take Balkman if he learns how to shoot and his coach learns how to use him, but if you have something intelligent to write about the overal progress of the team I am waiting to hear it.......

Being six games under 500 and having the leagues highest payroll, while repeating the same dumb moves again doesn't really put light at the end of the tunnel

holfresh you are my fav poster

Look at it this way...the hard part is over...The center and PFs could possibly be in house...Young PG's are easy to get these days for some reason...These are pieces we can build on...If we do nothing, not likely tho, the Knicks will be under the cap...This team for once in quite some time looks like it has a future...

Holfresh, IF Isiah doesn't make any signings between now and the end of 2009 then you are right, we will be under the cap, but that is a BIG IF.
