face the facts dude, we lost to New Orleans with the same team or very similar to the team that went 29-24.
were not that bad, wer just not good.

Heat won on a b-b without wade? wade is better than anything we have out combined*2. Crawford is not a Kirilenko type, hes not even a top 75 player in the league. 100mm $ teams shouldnt complain about fringe injuries, like we are the only club to have them EVERY team has injuries every team--so when everything is added up, you get the same equation. we are LUCKY we dont have something like the Nets have, Kidd out first portion of year lose Martin and then RJ. all of those players are much much better than crawford.



If you are saying this team is so bad, you are castigating isiah, because oit his decisions--he brought in everyone except Thomas and houston. so according to you he made th****tiest roster in the league. thats not the case

it's obvious that there was alot of hype surrounding this team. coming from not only the fans, but isiah, lenny, and the players. things were looking up for a while but then reality set in and showed that although we may be talented offensively, we are light years behind defensively. it also showed that almost every other team got better and we are bunched in with about 90% of the league. so has it been a disappointing season, so far, i would have to say so. nobody thought h20 was going to look this gimpy but the biggest dissapointment is tim's reggression. i don't think anybody took that into account. so it's dissapointing b/c of what alot of people thought we could be, which was a 45-47 win team.

now, with that said, i think we're still better off in the long run. heck, we may possibly start gelling and maybe rattle off 20 of the next 30-35. it's possible. all depends how the players respond to our current situation and how they fit together for the rest of the season.

starting backcourt has been upgraded. i don't think anybody can dispute that. but we have major problems with every frontcourt position. let's see what the roster looks at come november. that's been said a million times but what else can you say as a knicks fan right now. it's obvious what our needs are. now we just need some time to address them.

so in response to this thread, yes, excuses are BS b/c we lost to the worst team in the league. we are a .500 team with the biggest payroll in the league. so now what do we do? a plan is in place, let's give it some time to execute.
