GKFv2, I never predicted that the team would win a title so how can u bash me as if I was the only fan or analyst who looked at the team and expected it should win about half their games and make the playoffs these last few years?
Predicting failure for a weak team is easy. I still feel the team underachiever under Zeke. MDA could've had quite a few more wins if the team stayed the same, but the moves were necessary for our future. I wasn't wrong about the talent Zeke had being able to play better cuz MDA proved they could play much better. Until the trades he had the team playing up to their potential. So suck on that!
No. You were wrong. You don't have to predict titles to be wrong. You predicted they do very well and make the playoffs, something most analysts did not and something that sane fans who stopped eating Isiah's BS knew wouldn't happen. I guess you needed the top to cave right in to understand that this would never happen and that Isiah's tenure here was a Grade A failure.
He didn't assemble talent. He assembled junk. Most of Isiah's "talent" was traded in the beginning of the season and was gone by the deadline. D'Antoni won more with the new players and young players who didn't play under Isiah (Chandler) than he did with Isiah's players. This is a fact. The fact that you are still trying to pass off Isiah's tenure here as successful player-wise shows you are still living in denial. What happened here was a disgrace and nothing good came of it. The team was not the right mix. It was a mix of selfish, no-d playing overpaid players. Talent is winning games. The Knicks never did that.
MDA would have had more wins with Zach and Jamal? LMAO. Okay. 6-5 is a big sample size to determine that. The trades helped the Knicks, at least the ones in the beginning of the season.
It's not about what is easy. The proof is in the pudding. The Knicks haven't been good and nothing indicates they will be good. You can try the positive spin every year but at some point you have to make a post that deals with reality. Every year the Knicks are destined for great things according to you. Well, clearly they haven't been. I don't see how this year will be any different. We'll just have to see.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
