Yes, Larry's teams always pick it up around all star break and we will start pickin it up around then
No , our team is going to self destruct with lots of drama, trades, and back page headlines

Absolutely... He's a winning coach, he just has to!!! I think that the players just need to buy into his philosophy or be shipped out. Remember the Piston's didn't win in their first year either.. lets give it some time and eventually he and Isiah will right the ship

I voted Yes on hope. I do think he, Isiah, Channing, and Eddy will turn the team around but don't know if it will be this year

I will admit, I voted no. Nothing against Larry but here are my reasons:

Too many trades in too short of a time period. This is truly a rebuilding effort now but has been rebuilding through complete retooling, stripping the identity of the team, and then changing the talent so often that I think they are all confused. Zeke has made some great moves - I am not sad with our roster, I just dont think they are capable of improving enough for Brown to be pleased...which will cause more trades, more drama, and keep this team from forming a winning identity.

Its great that we have a center and a power forward. We even have a PG if you let Steph play his game. But outside of that we have no SF and no SG. Jamal is a good player but he is not the kind of SG that you can ride through the season and to a championship. I think Q could be serviceable along with Ariza at the 3 - but it would be nice to have something better there too. At the end of the day more change are going to come and I think its just too upsetting to the locker room and on court chemistry.

Add in no lotto pick this year and possibly next and I smell something rotten.

if larry brown was hired prior to the draft and had a say about the roster moves, i believe we would be having a winning record. give it time. we will improve. first we trade marbs.

What is eventually and what is turn around? This year. No. 45 wins next year, big deal. 50+ wins is turning it around. That better happen within two years with our spending on players and a coach or the LB signing and Isiah will be a failure.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

Hell no. He's going to get Isiah fired and Marbury traded. Though, I guess some guys here might consider that a turn around...

I voted yes, but I'm not sure it'll happen by the All-Star break. It might not be until next year, but he will turn it around.

No way will he turn this around. The media made this guy out to be a messiah in the off season. He thinks he can do whatever he wants. This guy has straight up left games out there that we should have won. Making crazy substitutions, putting in horrible lineups in crunch time. If he's trying to make a point I'm tired of it. The summer league Kinicks team would beat the vets on this team 9 out of 10 nights.

Now what, we're going to trade away the athletes for Brown's guys like Snow and Ollie? I quit on the Knicks if they turn the roster over again this year.

brown to me is a very versitile head coach. he coached so many different teams with different make ups. he can also coach this team. its not easy turning a loosing program into a winning one. i remember a interview he said he hasnt slept since training camp.

we will trun it around, even if its the last game of the season.

im sure he wont sleep well until we are winning and competing night in night out.

btw...even tho we lost i think we played better than we have most nights this season.

Larry, Shelly, Isiah, Dolan, all said it would be a tough start.

Sheet, this is more interesting than being a 9th seed and sucking up to vets and sitting Rooks! We laying real roots.

Beside, they all said Marbs could not be stopped. We got a 65 year old little Jewish dude with a bad blatter and he just destroying Stumpbury to pieces! I thought Marbs was one bad ass mother Fu....all tough hip hop no nonsense keeping it real, and this little dude just breaking him up!

Marbs rehab looks shaky! Give the dude some cigerettes, some chocolate, and let him watch TV.

Ya'll gonna like this team next season! this is fun, see it come together!
