They can shove their banners in Beantown, but we don't many to spare.
What about with the old rules you make Big baby and Perkins and let them be sluggo type players? They might inflict some damage. Seems we think only the Knicks can play by the old rules.
The old rules ?
no not really
Pretty teams whom dont get their hands dirty or dive and scraped the floor NEVER WIN.
See the old BULLs, SPURs, even the 2 title ROCKETs teams with Hakeem, Otis Thorpe and Mario Ely
Kenny Smith and Sam Cassell and silent assasin R.Horry.

perhaps rest of NBA. Knicks borderline ? perhaps at times but we're talking about heart and soul

Those knicks were great.
Yes I can only agree with you the Knicks IQ wasnt going to win them games.
