The Knicks suck, it's plain and simple. Theres a reason I was so worried about this team all summer and all preseason long. The players don't mesh, are not accountable for themselves or each other and we have NO franchise player to build this team around for the coming years. And oh yeah, we're giving the Bulls our lottery pick.

Curry is playing really nice, I'm happy with his progress, he still doesn't rebound enough though, although at this point, I'll take what he's giving us.

I find it interesting that Lee still escapes criticism for his D. It was as bad as anyone elses. Harrington went nuts with Lee on him, just like Warrick did in the first game.

There is not one player on the team that played defense last night. Not one. Not Frye or anyone else. Every Pacer did what he wanted to, especially Harrington. Oneal made Curry look like a lamppost, Harrington did whatever he wanted to to Lee and Frye and Darrel Armstrong was getting busy.

Pretty disappointing.

The Knicks play no defense.

We have no help defense.

Our bigs provide 0 help defense down low.

On offense we do not move around at all. What happened with Isiah's so called motion or Phoenix like offensive attack? That is bs. My eyes still tell me that we play 1 on 1 basketball and the team watches 1 player make a move. I thought basketball is a team game.

If the NYK's suffer from another terrible season I say we phase the team out by letting their contracts run out or trade for smaller ones. Do we want 2-3 more loosing seasons or an eternity of loosing seasons?

Perhaps IT should go if the team makes no significant progress. We should look to build the team around winning players and winning management. This team does not consist of any winners accept for the potential of Lee, Q and perhaps Balkman and Robinson. The rest of the team will never be winners and Curry will never live up to his so called potential. He is a Role player and thats it. I thankfully admit to see some progress in his game such as playing longer minutes and contributing more to the game. I would love to be proven wrong about him being a role player.


I would dive on the floor for every loose ball, foul out, make some noise, block a shot for the salary these guys are making. Any pride?

I thought Francis said We are coming out with energy this year?

No defense no offensive continuity and chemistry means big problems. We need to work on solid solutions at game 4 of the season before it becomes too late.

D lee that extra weight hurt his speed he might not have more bodyfat% but the extra weight--like Ok$ last year is more of a detterant. You can get stronger but keep the same weight.
