This no defense team stink. Did you see Durant drive right past David Lee and made dunk. Lee just looked. this is starting to infect the whole team.
Zeke put this mess together amd millionairs out off Marbs, Crawford, Big Snacks,Jarred Jefferies,Q Rich, and none of them will even play hard for him.
This is the worst defensive team the Knicks ever had.
Zeke is holding on to that 25 million dollar contract because he knows after this he won't be able to buy a job in the NBA. I was a big supporter of Zeke but when a man refuse to admit that he was wrong and make desperate moves that don't pan out we have a credability issue.
Curry is not what we thought he would be.
Don't be surprised if we are not the worst team in the league and I'm very serious.
Getting rid of Zeke now would be a mistake. Let him loose out the season so we can get the top pick. Trade Curry and Marbs. David Lee is improving but his defense stink.
I like what Kirt Thomas said. He said it breaks his heart to see the knicks like this and he's come back to the Knicks in a heart beat but any player that didn't have Zekes stamp on it he got rid of no matter what.

Speak for yourself. Curry has turned out to be exactly what many of us thought he would become: the same player he was in Chicago. If you look at his averages, every year is pretty consistent with no trends suggesting improvement.
Exactly. Last year I was crucified for saying that Curry didn't really improve, he was just playing more minutes and force fed the ball, which led to his average going up 3 points. I also said his numbers would go right back down to their typical level now that Zach was there to take those extra touches away.
I'm really getting tired being right all the time.

Hey I didn't like the trade for Curry. I thought Zeke saw something in him that we didn't.
Look There is no City like New York City. Now I'm gonna tell all of you guys what the Knicks need to win a championship and the type of players.
Back when the Knicks won it all in 1973, lets take a look at the team.
1. Smart Players
2. Defensive minded
3. Creditable
4. They stayed out of trouble
5. The offense was second to none
6. They had a team leader in Reed
7. They had a road scholar in Bill Bradly
8. They had an excellent point guard who was a team player and big in size.
9. They had Earl the Pearl as a shooting guard or point.
10. They had a great coach.
11. They had a great Bench.
12. They trusted each other.
Now Hear the Problems of today.
1. Not everyone can coup with playing in New York.
2. You have to be a special kind of person to survive in New York.
3. You must be a smart and intelligent player to survive in New York.
4. These player on the Knicks can't handle New York pressure. In another city they might do better.
5. Any one of the 1973 Knicks starting line-up would be considered a superstar on this team.
6. This team don't even trust themselves never mind someone else.
