Top draft pick. Cap space and very little baggage left to clear. It's all there for Phil. He just has to make it happen. I see no valid reason to be down on this team's prospects going forward. Not at this point in time. Once we see what Phil actually does from now thru the summer then we can make an appropriate judgement.

I am not being a pessimist. Its realism.

What do you think the odds are that the knicks win under Phil?

Vegas odds for the knicks winning a title under Phil is < 3 percent. Are they just a bunch of pessimists?

I will continue to assume that we will lose based on the odds and history with this team and I will be pleasantly surprised and obviously ecstatic if I am wrong. May be if we pray hard enough, we will be worthy of this miracle. But it will take a miracle.

Perhaps you need to clarify your view a bit further.

Vegas Odds - are projected for this year. Almost everyone would agree that the Knicks currently stink and are trying to tank at this point....for this season....that is being realistic.

Continuing to assume the Knicks will lose as you stated - is being pessimistic if you are applying that thought process beyond this year.....the reason is that you do not know what roster changes will be made, nor is there enough sampling of the moves and vision for the Knicks under Phil.

Continually focusing on what others have done wrong in the past - is being negative. Everyone makes mistakes, what defines us is how we learn from the mistakes in terms of future actions. It's difficult to properly measure Phil's progress 40 games into a season that is in tank mode. You seem to want to give him an F......while a more reasonable rating would be "incomplete".

The odds are not just for this year. It for the next 5 years.

the odds can easily change. At halftime the Packers had a 95-96% chance of winning the game. I think those odds stayed the same with 5 minutes left. I think we know how that ended.

Well with each move that we make it will either go down or go up.

I am sure that before the Tyson trade it was a lot higher.

And then hiring fisher did not help either.

If we max out Monroe, it won't help either.

Sorry, no one is impressed by Phil.

Currently, our guys are not moving the ball fast enough. Calderon is too slow with his approach, and guys are not cutting as they should. After 40 games,we definitely have to blame the coaching staff for that.

On defense, if the PG on the floor can't stoop the opposing PG, and one of the bigs can't anchor the front court, we will never be a good defensive team. We have to FINALLY resolve this issue at the end of the season
