We started 3-8 this year. With the new team we are 7-7, and that includes 6 or 7 games without Billups. As long as we start showing more consistent EFFORT we'll be ok and won't have to wait until 2016 for a contender. I know it's hard, but patience is needed. We will be jsut fine.

It's funny how many were willing to be patient with Gallo and Chandler on the team but add Melo and all hope is gone.

it took the Miami Heat about 2 months before they fully hit their stride & that was with a full summer & training camp practicing together getting to learn the system & each other... Knick fans want instant results after 2 weeks & a couple practices.

I want to see improvement andsolid play on defense from this team. I can understand this team wont be clicking on all cylinders after such a trade, but after 15 games and a 7-8 record where they have a 6-2 record against winners and 0-6 record against teams sub.500, all I see is a huge mess not getting any better.

ou have such a terrible record against lowly teams, you see immaturity, lack of effort, lack of focus on the defensive end instead of lack of chemistry. They get up for the winning teams, why not against lowly teams? That is horrible. They are playing horribly and the trade excuse is no longer the main responsible.

Thank you.

Don't look now, but the post-trade record is exactly what the record was for the all-new Knick team at the start of the season (7-8). To keep up with the pre trade Knicks's subsequent record, we'd have to go 12-1 for the rest of the season. How long does our new team need to gell?

The fact is that teams have much more success building through acquire stars than acquiring draft picks. We have 2 stars now, let's see how we build around them before we think about 5 years from now.

You don't belong on this site--you are making too much sense. You are too smart for this forum, please leave. We need more anti- knick/melo haters.
