Very strong article and it brought up something towards the end that suggest maybe some youth needs to be traded this off-season for veteran help
Their inability to capitalize on defeating the weaker teams in the league is a reflection of their immaturity as a team, and exemplifies the difference between them and the Dallas’, the San Antonio’s, and the Detroit’s of the league. Do you think the Phoenix Suns would lose 9 times to Boston, Philly, and Charlotte this season? Of course not… but the Knicks are only two nearly-guaranteed losses away from accomplishing that feat this season.


The article also suggest that the team has reached a different kind of low this season. With all this talk throughout the season of supposed progress it appears this team is just as unstable/undefined as it has been since ISAYUGH took over the team.

On second thought maybe some of the veterans need to be traded for different veterans.

Look. They were competitive on the road with a team that had injuries to four players - including two of their top players. That's not bad. Of course they're playing like a young team and not like a veteran team. They are a young team.

A young team that doesn't have draft picks, cap space, or a franchise player isn't necessarily a good thing...
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

It's not even that young a team. I'd be surprised if our average age was below the league's average.

Winning is learned. You sometimes have to go through the hardships to understand what it takes to become a winner. That's why it's important to have proven winners on your young squads, because they can teach your young guys how to respond to big wins or bad losses. It's speads up the maturation process and makes it nearly a certainty. We have foregone this aspect of growth and have built a team around 10 or so core guys that have seen no professional success. If you paid attention to this 2 and 3 years ago when some of the world was discussing it, then you would not be surprised by what is occuring today.

I just hope that people will like me

what? an article that suggests it takes a few years for a young team to gel? wow, now there's a novel concept... i wonder where i've heard that one before?
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
