1 - Why is this a new thread
2 - We were playing DLeaguers and Douglas down the stretch
3 - News Flash... this team is going to be among the bottom five in the league all year. When you are dumping salary and you draft like like Walsh, that's what you get.
Sounds fine to me. It's aka "rebuilding", which is LONG overdue. Besides, they are playing some stout D, covering the lanes, getting hands on balls. That's a heckuva lot more than they have done the past few years. Once they get their legs, a lot of those missed shots will be swooshes.
First half wasn't too bad. I could watch that shyte a lot more often than a no D run and gun team. This is still a growth year for the youngins. It would be ridiculous for any of us to have high expectations of this year's group. I am feeling optimistic that it will be watchable, which means being at least respectable on D (imho).
We definitely need a star player/leader, but that's for next season. Having more cap space than any other team, and the biggest market, I feel good about our chances to attract talent.

is liked by a lot of players. Walsh has demonstrated restraint, a first for Knick brass in a generation.
Sings point up as far as I can tell (I am usually an optimist). Heck, finally emerging from the dank and dreary jungle that was Isaiah's tenure just feels refreshing.
