Only 6 wins? You sound like you're almost HOPING that they only win 6 games. You know you haven't had one positive observation to add in this whole thread? Have you not seen anything in the way of a positive sign going forward? Any improvements in individual or team play? Perhaps some coaching moves that isiah made that were worth noting? DAMN! Even if it was just to note that the team has at least shown more fight than they did last year at this point, that would be something to show you really care about this team succeeding. I don't think i'll EVER understand fans like you. It's easy to root for your team when they have everything going well, but with this team trying to establish itself you have to have some patience and understanding, some reasonable expectations for a team that has so many young players and guys who haven't been in a winning culture here. They have to generate that all from scratch.

The schedule turns much more in their favor as the month goes along. I think they have a good shot to get on a positive swing.

This is what I don't get. Why do you care what I think? I am a huge Knicks fan and I always have been and I hope they win every game. Just because I am realistic in my approach about what this team does, does not make me any less of a god damn fan. Just because you are pawn and agree with every single move because you root for the team doesn't make any sense. Get your own damn perspective, not one molded from the owner and the GM of the team about how positive things are for this franchise.

I don't think the team is going to win more than 6 in this month. Why does that bother you so much? I hope the Knicks win every single game they play of the season, just because I have my own thoughts and opinions on how the team may realistically play should not bother you at all. I'm glad you disagree with me about them winning more games, you always hope for the best, eventually every cat gets a mouse and you'll be right but so far, you've been far from it. You've already curtailed that huge argument about how Stephon and Francis were going to be awesome players in this system, because that clearly hasn't happened. We both want the team to win, its plain and simple. There has been some good things from this team so far but not even close enough to make this team a contender or even a playoff team. Francis and Marbury are still lost, Lee and Q have been great, Frye wasn't playing well, Balkman looked nice, Crawford and Nate are still incredibly inconsistent and Curry has been playing well LATELY, it's about time.

My original post was a response to you saying that you were "confident that the team will win more than 2 games in this month." I was merely responding to the fact that what you were saying was ridiculous. Any team in the NBA can win more than 2 games in a month and you are acting like if the Knicks do it, it's some huge stepping stone. It's not. This team should be winning 16 out of 16 games this month with the bloated payroll and contracts this team has but for this talent, I'm guessing 6, I'm glad you're so disappointed about it.

I'm glad we disagree about how many games the Knicks will win this month. I'll be happy to take up this argument with you at the end of the month. I pray for 16 wins but realistically I think it will be 6. Thats the way I feel so friggen sue me.

Just freakin man up and admit that you don't like this roster or coach, if that's how you really feel.

I've said it a million times, where you been?

I actually LIKE the talent on this team.

And here I thought you were just a really big fan of Jeff Nix.

LOL.

I like - Lee, QRich, Jeffries, Balkman, Mardy(I know he's hard working)

The rest can go screw themselves.

Isiah has some difficult decisions on minutes a people get healthy

How he manages the egos in the the locker room, along with the press looking for negative angles for spicy headlines, will be his first and second orders of business

Lee got burn as center and no one noticed

NO............ but I hate Isiah like Micheal Jackson hates his skinn!!!!

I don't hate him, I was just answering the thread the way I think the poster would want me to...........

Actually, if you understand the elite NBA players are a type of fraternity... one may look at Magic Johnson seated courtside, in support of his friend Isiah...

and willing to offer encouragement and private counsel to the evolving Marbury

did anyone else notice the artist formerly known as Sheikbury did not wear a towel on his head on the bench?

dang

Personally I like the young guys on this team. I think Isiah has done a good job of drafting. This seems to be his specialty. But I want him to just coach. I want a new GM to build around the exciting young players that Isiah has brought in. With all the "asset grabbing" and cutting and benching of multi-billion dollar players that can't play, I do not trust Isiah to build efficiently around these players. I think this is a valid point but I'm sure it also means I'm a Nets fan.

I would prefer Isiah be able to concentrate on coaching the team and allow another GM to be 100% involved with building a balanced team that can actually take advantage of the individual talent that we have.

See I disagree. I think the biggest mistake this franchise has made since Ewing left is trying to turn our garbage into gold. We get good players and we are afraid to trade them because they may blossom somewhere else. Well if you make a good trades this doesn't matter. You cannot trade the players you don't want and get someone great from another team. This is why we have had to settle for other teams casoffs so often. We need to deal from strength. If that means dealing a couple of the scorers in teh backcourt, fine. If that means giving up one of our 6 or 7 young guys to bring in a shotblocker or a perimeter defender or a true PG it is only going to help us.

Time is on our side, and patience is a virtue:
shotblocker = channing frye (second year in league)
perimeter defender = jarred jeffries (first year on team)
True PG - mardy collins (first year on team/league)

Why starphuck when we have everything we need now?
