Maybe these are the real knicks. I mean we have been fooled before the past 12 years

I was never fooled. People just don't believe me and scold me when I said as long as JimmyD is the owner, we won't get a legit shot at championship.

Is this your i told you so moment? Not a good night for the Knicks but they are 8-3.

We will have a lot of problems with young and quick teams. And with other teams when they will figure out that we are old and slow.
The game changed and NBA and refs will not allow a defensive team take the flare from teh game.
It will be a tuff task for this team to win as the season will progress.

Have you posted here for the first four weeks of the season?

I think their different. Knicks haven't started out of training camp winning in years.

I share your optimism. A good team well-coached will recover from this. The sample size thus far says that's who they are.

the problem is that the knicks defense has been bad the last few games so thats why people are nervous. lets face it the knicks have done this to us for years

Two games and they still almost beat Dallas.

Tonight they were lazy on offense and didn't show up on D. And the team they played was red-hot and firing on all cylinders. Although, seriously, they wouldn't beat the Pistons or Wiz playing like this...

But I'm convinced Woody will lower the boom on this team after tonight and they'll come out revitalized for the next game.

this will be a new test for them. they responded to the first loss well. lets see how they respond to a blowout. do they do what they have in years past or will they crush the pistons (which they should anyways).

We took the advantage of some depleted teams and sluppy bbal at the beginning of the season.
Now the real test will begin. We get scouted enough to get challenged.
The next 5-6 games will tell us where we are really stend.

Come on now. Knicks had a legit tough schedule and secured some impressive wins against good teams. No caveats needed. They were the best team in the league for ten games. Just because they played like the worst for one game doesn't mean everything they've built is moot.
