with that said, 50+ games will be tough to achieve. i think everything went right for y'all last year and you got to 54. i think this year, there is more pressure and less leadership from the point (as of today's roster).
plus marv is a super knicks homer and i want him to suffer.
Went right:
1. Boston (many feared) fell apart.
2. Sixers year before had been very improved, last year the Bynum trade killed them.
3. Wiz by seasons end was a pretty good team, but first half were doormats and was an easy win.
4. We caught Heat with pants down early in season twice.
5. JR in contract year stepped up in regular season.
6. Kidd played way above expectations in the first two months. Shump came back to finish season strong.
7. Cope.
8. Indy faultered giving us 2nd seed.
9. Rose never returned.
10. Toronto was improved but never played to it.
11, Nets did not play up to on paper talent.
12 Kmart gave us a huge unexpected boost!
13. Sheed helped us win some games we might not have early on!
13. The Brotherhood of man between JR, Melo and Woodson was a nice Bromance!
Every sesaon has its ebbs and flows but ours to some extent worked out better despite injuries to role players. DJ is right that things worked well and one cannot count them going forward.
Its possible next years knick team is better but improvements by others will make some wins toughter to obtain.
Boston, philly and Toronto might be easy wins but Wiz, bobcats, Clev and Chicago get better.
Nets are better too. How much? Don't know, but they are.
