I think that "Knicks are old" stuff is overblown. We have veteans on the bench, and seasoned starters. I dig the crew that has ben compiled thus far, and am anxious to see them excel on the court this year.
All that haterade is coming from the usual media sources (So-called Knicks beat writers", BSPN analysts who drum up drama to get a check, etc.) who never have anything positive or optimistic to say about the Knicks anyway. I write 'em off and throw 'em out, just like real fans should do with any hater's venom. Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year.
GO KNICKS!

The media has found positive things to say about teams which have been inferior to the Knicks (the last two seasons), such as the Nets... |

I dig the crew that has ben compiled thus far, and am anxious to see them excel on the court this year. This is a new season with 13 new faces on the roster. The Answer Man suggests that any and all bitter beer faces, stuck in the past, should go suck on a lemon. The age thing is an easy headline for lazy writers. If the usual media suspects wanted to impress us with their basketbal IQ's, they would be writing about how many assists Raymond Felton will drop on Carmelo and Amar'e combined. Is Ronnie Brewer an upgrade over Landry Fields? once a knick always a knick

Yeah, maybe if we could contend for absolute worst record in the history of the league, and then make great platinum signings like Gerald Wallace and Joe Johnson, we'd be media darlings too. And don't forget the good feelings everyone had during Linsanity...oooops, sorry guys. That's right, ESPN had the "ch*nk in the armor" thing... |

Knicks media policy the last decade has not exactly helped its case either. Linsanity was a media creation and a world wide event. If you did not see the N*t hype machine coming you don't read Nalod. I told it would be big. Its big beyond roster formations. Prokhorov is boasting but thats to be expected. Knicks take care of business on the court the media and N*t love are not factors. If not, it gets ugly as usual. We've had 9 coaches over the last 13 years. |

Maybe positive projections but not positive things about their performance over the last few years |

Knicks core players (starters) are not old. Then bench is old but I think older vets playing limited minutes off the bench is fine.
