Don't forget games against Phoenix and NJ to open December. 2 games that they have no chance of winning.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

are you watching any of the guaranteed losses that you cite?

earl - you funny

do you knowingly put up a brave front, or are you in delusional denial that the situation is grave?

Panos - last time I checked, the world was still spinnin' and tonight's game has not been cancelled due to panic in the streets.

purple's forecast of 2-12 or 3-11 will not make one iota of difference whether I open a bag of Jiffy Pop tonight and follow the run online while I'm on deadline.

Brave? Nah. But I ain't no punk who roots for my beloved team to lose either.

I plays 'em one at a time

Who the hell said anything about the world stop spinning?
Purple cited his opinion on the upcoming games, and you objected.
I'm asking if you really think things are rosy, or you just in denial.

Panos - if you wanna split hairs, I didnt object to his opinion. I simply said I'm still watching to see what actually happens.

what would be the point of watching certain defeat?

Did you find it the least bit curious that purple posted the start times and broadcast network? Now, why would he do that?

Oh, I'm not rooting for losses. I mean, when we were 2-1 & looking at a 3 point shooting, fool's gold team like Orlando & a Wade-less Miami team, I had visions of an enjoyable season. 42-40 would have been enjoyable. But, its hard to imagine that this team won't die an ugly & quick death in the next 2 weeks.

purple - the next two weeks will definately be no time for crybabies. Whether they are bitching and moaning over minutes or Isiah or Dolan or David Lee or ... Eddy, Zach and Malik Rose.

did you really expect the season to be boring?

People predicted a tailspin last year after the suspensions and they proved everyone wrong. Don't be so sure that this team can't win some games. There are winnable games on the schedule and I expect this team to compete and get some of those wins.

truth be told, if David Lee didn't have half his layups thrown back in his face, the Phoenix game is not the blowout that some predicted either.

let's see how much fight these guys have before putting them in the ground and throwing dirt on them

the suspensions were b/c of a fight...with the other team.

this is "in-house"...a little different. we have no idea what's gonna happen from this point on.

I think we'll beat GS or CHI. Plus Sac. Bucks.

Everything else is up in the air.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

dj- we have no idea what's gonna happen from this point on.

sez who?

Let's take a look in the crystal basketball

Wednesday November, 14 at Clippers 10:30PM MSG - team turmoil continues to bond without Marbury, Malik Rose is prohibited from attempting a shot and David Lee redeems himself

Friday November, 16 at Kings 10:00PM MSG Mardy Collins returns, Jamal goes for his first 30 point game

Saturday November, 17 at Nuggets 9:00PM MSG II George Karl and Isiah get into shoving match in arena tunnel. Karl gets 20 stitches and Mark Aguirre coaches the team

Tuesday November, 20 vs Warriors 7:30PM - Zach Randolph meets team in New York. Upon entering locker room, Marbury sees his locker has been cleaned out

Wednesday November, 21 at Pistons 8:00PM - Sheed gets ejected, Zach gets ejected, Renaldo Balkman and Tayshaun Prince get tangled up and exchange dirty looks

Saturday November, 24 vs Bulls 1:00P this run is not to be missed as Eddy Curry and Scott Stiles refuse to shake hands. Eddy goes for 30 and shows da Bulls what they are missing. Wilson Chandler outplays Tyrus Thomas, ho hum.

Monday November, 26 vs Jazz 7:30PM - Dolan makes an offer for Scott Layden to return to NY as GM. Isiah gets wind of conversation and resigns in a huff. Layden has a change of heart at the last minute and Dolan hires Brian Gumbel to run franchise

Thursday November, 29 at Celtics 8:00PM TNT game of the years as Knicks become first team to defeat Celtics with visons of the 40 point pre season game dancing in their heads. Celtics fans boo home team

Friday November, 30 vs Bucks 7:30PM Marbury announces his retirement

No you're making it seem like there wasn't a positive response to the turmoil and you KNOW there was. Just because later things turned sour, doesn't discount the way they responded at that time. COME ON MAN! Can we stop with the endless bashing of EVERYTHING this team does?

There are many players on this team that give max effort when they go in the games and just because we have a couple of guys that don't people are so fast to discount all the other guys who do give effort. They want to blow up the whole team as if there are no good players on the team with which you can build a team with. Steph is one player. When the team settles down I fully expect that they will win their fair share of games. We didn't stink completely. We needed better defense on the perimeter and I believe there are better defenders on this roster who can help if given the chance. Even before this Steph crap, I fully expected that we'd see those players get a shot to help this team.

"Win some games"? Sure we'll win some games. Show me an NBA team that ever did not "win some games."

I give up. You and earl are right! We should still make the playoffs.

It's like self-flagellation reading some of these posts.

How about you stop giving the team a PASS for EVERYTHING that they do?
Especially, when you've been wrong year after year?
I would just like to hear something realistic in one of your posts
instead of "I expect" and "They should be better because".
