I think this team will make an improvement from last year (I don't think this team will make the playoffs), but there are also teams that are get better.

What teams in the league do you thnk we are better than?

That's hard to tell. Teams can look good or not so good on paper but until they play a couple of games, you never know. I think with the players on our team, we can beat any team on any given night.

I agree & how exciting will that be eh! 130mm payroll and fighting for an 8th seed..totally awesome!!!

I think Indiana is going to slide even with Harrington (they will miss Johnson once Tinsley gets hurt again). Milwaukee might slip some without TJ running the point. Atlanta is talented but still very young, as are we. Boston is tough to read, but I don't see that team doing great things this season. I think we potentially could beat all of these teams and get the 8th seed, but it is not going to be easy. The talent in the NBA overall seems to have improved tremendously since the post-Jordan era. There was a slump for a few years after he retired, but now there are several teams with superstar talent and serious chances to go all the way. Hopefully, Isiah is up for the challenge.

Any team in the league can beat anyone and any team can lose to anyone at any given night. But baby, a teams record is not about any given night, it's how you do throughout the season, and when I see 23 wins, I see very few any given nights.

If Curry, Frye, Lee and Marbury are healthy and playing to capabilities, we're fine.

What does "fine" mean? Playoffs? If so, what gives you that impression? Is that really a playoff squad to you? Dopey, Mebury, and a couple of inexperienced youngsters?

AllanFan - I understand that we aren't beating to many people with a record of 23 wins and basically bringing back the same squad - less butler. I was really speaking about one of games - hence the caption - who can we beat. In terms of record wise like who are we going to be better than for the duration of the season - I really see us at the bottom of the pile. Unless this team comes out and gives their all (the opposite of how they played with Larry Brown)I don't see the Knicks making significant progress. It has to be about hustle and commitment because we are bringing back the same team. That won't be determined until they hit the court. We shall see....
