"Knicks team president and head coach Isiah Thomas began the season with a mandate to show significant improvement, or his reign of error would be brought to an end. While certain individuals certainly have made progress — notably Eddy Curry, who put together his eighth straight 20-point effort on Wednesday night — the team undeniably has not."

And despite Thomas's relentless, near-comic optimism, there's nothing in particular to suggest the Knicks are any better than their record shows.

Then again, the Knicks could always go ahead and defeat the Celtics tomorrow night.

All this team needs is a nice 4-5 game winning streak. Hopefully, Jeffries can help our defensive problems without hurting the offense.

I agree. Curry and Q along with Marbury's offense should be enough to keep the offense going. If IT keeps lee in the starting lineup, we might have finally found a starting lineup that works.
