silver!!! Don't wake me up

In the short run, Losing KT does hurt our defense. Sorry, thats reality. Can big game fill that gap?

Eliminate Miami? That assumes we in the playoffs to begin with.

What was I thinking!? We cn take Miami.

Im going with LB on saying we gonna stink for a while until it comes together.

I think Miami if well coached (if the players allow it) can be the "it" team in the east!

Not to offend anyone, but our enthusiasm grows each day based on a paper roster and no intangable facts. Now thta Big game is a knick he is so much better? Frye is now a starter in some minds? And we forget Mo. T and Rose in most equations.

I dig the hype, but the excitement to me is really just seeing how this all comes together in the next FEW YEARS!

I love the draft picks, I love Larry, but WE got big Game with no real back up at this time!

We are going with Craw and Marbs. Marbs is talented enough to be ok, but Craw is in for the mind PHuch of his life with larry at the helm!

I worry about our back court chemistry alot! Not the raw talent.

I worry about Big game who is a backup,and no one but Frye to back him up. Miami can thow Shaq-Haslam-Zoe-Walker-amd the white dude who used to be here (mind is gone!) at us all at teh C and PF! We don't match up with Miami very well.

But do they match up with us? HA HA!

JWill might have had the best assist to TO ratio in the league last year. He doesnt take bad shots anymore either. He does a great job running an offense and has matured a ton, I watched him play a lot of games last year. He also plays good team defense. He gets some steals and a lot of deflections and such. He threw a ton of passes to Gasol that Pau couldnt finish on, but will be nothing but and1s with Shaq.

I think the bigger xfactor is Walker and how he fits. I think getting JW to team up to next to Wade was one of the offseason's best moves by any team

I am not convinced with J-will as you are, but we do know one thing, if he reverts to his ways of old, shaq will see to it that he is on the pine.. But I must admit, he is not the shooter Jones was but he is much more creative, he can penetrate and create shots for others, something that Damon jones never did, so it is a upgrade in that area, I mean the heat did good for themselves, you have to believe that shaq was advised before bringing these guys in, and he sounded happy, I can't wait for the season to start, miami will be good. Again as mentioned walker will be the key to how much better they are...

the only thing the knicks are going to eliminate the heat from is the lottery! That, and possibly not breaking the Bull's single season win total.

Shaq wasn't really hurt that much last season, though he did wear down- having an at full strength Zo & Walker as a potential low post threat should enable miami to save shaq up even more than they did last year.

In fact, I'd almost have shaq off the bench to start the game- let him play 8-10 mins in the first half, and then get more time in the second.

I still believe that we have a chance to eliminate Miami....

Not a stretch at all since we have the "Best quartet in the game" right?

Posey is pretty freaking defensive minded and Riley has already said he's starting. If he's back in shape, I think Posey could be their biggest addition. Though, it's obviously very important that Walker accepts a bench role and JWill plays smart ball.

When did Riley say posey was starting? I must have missed that because what I have heard is "Haslem is the starter" Which usually means "We are not going to give away this guy's starting spot before training camp out of personal respect for him.

I would be surprised if Walker does not start at the beginning of the season and I would be shocked if he isn't the starter by early 2006.

oohah
