It's not like this team was ever as complete as the Celtics in particular at the PG spot. In addition the Knicks lacked quality at SG and depth overall. The Knicks also had issues with the health of STAT and Melo and neither was really in top form after a summer with no training. THIS YEAR is different. To all the naysayers I think you need to acknowledge the differences between this Knicks team and last years Knicks team. I'm not throwing bouquets without substance. My points are salient and make sense based on the TRUTH of this current Knicks team and the situation being much more stable this year than last year. Also you can kiss my A** if you don't like my stance on the team. Come with some real substantive arguments against my points rather than the usual lame "Nix is just being positive" statements.Tell me if the team is weaker now than last year! HOW SO? In what way is this Knicks team not head and shoulders better than last years Knicks team? If i'm just being Pollyanna about this team and drinking the Koolaid, show us how this team is weaker than the team that finished 18-6 and #5 in defense.
we had like two different teams last year.. saying we are better than last year has yet to be seen and really isn't saying much.. boston was a top seed and they improved.. yet you have boston as if they have to catch up with us..... your arguments are based on a lot of hope, there really is no basis to support the knicks being a top seed.. there is a lot of evidence to support boston being a top team tho...
What are you talking about? I have Miami, Boston and NY at the top of the East, so i'm not saying Boston isn't going to be good. Boston was only 3 games better and they were almost fully healthy whereas the Knicks were not. Boston's core had been together for years and the Knicks hadn't. My point is that all this BS about the Knicks not being a top team is baseless. In what way is this team not significantly improved?
The team we ended the season with is not better than the team we have now!!! Adding Felton, Kidd, Brewer and Camby is a HUGE upgrade over last year's team. All those fans that are poo pooing this roster are not doing it with any kind of honest analysis IMO.
