Lets get down to business here, what did you think of last season, who do you blame for it?
Do you like the team or hate it?
What players do you like or hate and why?
What do you think should change?

I partially blamed Larry Brown but for the most part I put the blame on the players and Zeke. Zeke brought in guys not used to playing defense or being under a tough coach and they folded under the pressure early. After what happened, Zeke was forced to step in and massage the egos and players are playing for him and playing the defense they learned from Larry(sometimes).

The current team has a solid foundation and I was just at the game yesterday for the first time this season and the young kids look even better live then on TV. Curry, Frye, and Lee is our future. Nate really isn't and I wouldn't consider Crawford our future either. Those 3 guys though, we can go a long way with them if they're here for years to come. Lee especially. I am not an Isiah Thomas fan though, let me make that clear. He has done more bad then good to this roster.

I hate Crawford the most. Yes he'll come up big down the stretch but in most games he's more of a liability then an extra weapon. He takes some horrific shots and plays phantom defense and in my opinion ruins the flow of the game for the other players. He played good last year under Larry but completely digressed this season. Jerome James and Mardy Collins are just scrubs plain and simple and I think everyone here has JJ. I'm not a big Marbury guy but he has been playing better defense recently so hopefully he continues that. Nate is just too immature for me to a fan of. Jared Jeffries must stop shooting.

I like the rest of the team, including - to a lesser degree - Steve Francis. If Curry doesn't digress and stays like this and even better for the rest of his career, then he will also be my favorite Knick behind Lee. David Lee is the dude that tries all the time. He never quits and his rebounding is amazing. Renaldo Balkman is another dude who I like because he plays defense and hustles like noone else.

What should change is we need a true superstar player. Curry could be one but that's not a definite yet. I love Lee and Frye but they are role players. None will be a superstar. We need that guy who can carry us. That leader out on the floor. Some people think it's Marbury but I do not. Besides, in a few years he'll be heading for a steep decline.

Interesting take man. Heeey, when you're no longer a Newbie, I may consider enjoying your posting.
