This poll is deceiving obviously the knicks will be better than the 7th seed since they will be healthier 7 in better shape with a full training camp. Problem is without Lin they will finish anywhere between 4-8 and never make it out of the 2nd round as felton gets older and fatter

Knicks will have big trouble at the finish line. I think they can and will play well early. But as Amare breaks down again and additional older bodies show their age--we will limp into the playoffs and then it depends on matchups.

Been a Knicks fan since '68 (had Clyde's rookie card). 40 years of management and coaching and player stupidity doesn't have my interest wane. Waning interest doesn't reflect being a fan. It's a symptom of a front running mentality. "Whyyyyyyyyy oh whyyyyyyyy can't we winnnnnnnnnn nowwwwwwwwww, Mommmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee????????"

I really don't give a shet what you do with your money. Is your interest in the team? Great. If your only interest is winning chips, then buy a camper and change your address every few years.

I am a Knicks fan. Whether they lose, win, almost win, lose continually, blow up the back pages, fight the good fight, give away the farm, steal some little kid's lunch money or paint MSG maroon and lime green and play sludgeball on their way to the worst season ever.

It's the Knicks. My interest doesn't wane. This is my team. Live with it.

Lin's great (possibly), but wasn't here when it really counted. Melo was. Get over it.

We will have a MUCH BETTER regular season but I don't see us getting past Miami. Well Mr. Dolan, how much is it worth to you to get past them. You have one chance and need to decide by Tuesday...

Lin doesn't suddenly get the Knicks past Miami. Building a favorite to beat them is impossible.

The offseason was mostly continuity based,but the team is better with the bench additions. It's up to Melo and Stat to perform up to par because they're the core players. If we get the Woodson effort level from let year we'll be really good.
