So how many of you think we have a .500 team?

I'm still skeptical about it. I mean realistically, we still have a bunch of unproven players here. I'll believe it when I see it. I'll say we're good for about another 4 wins, totalling 37 this next season. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we only got as far as 33 again. How bout you guys?
I'll never trust this' team again.

I think .500 sounds reasonable. Zach is an upgrade over Frye and some of our younger players like Lee, Balkman, Collins or Nate should improve. Also, the team will be playing together for the second year under the same coach.

Anything less than .500 would be a bad season to me. In fact, anything less than the playoffs would be a bad season. It is time for this group to growup and achieve something.

At least 40 wins, I'd be happier with a 45+ season and no 8th seed instead of 37 wins and squeaking into 8th only to be massacred by the 1st seed.

I think this team is a lock for being over .500. I think that even with the improvement in the East that this team has made enough improvement to get solidly on the winning side of things. I predicted about 46 wins and that's without changing anything right now.

I don't think we'd get beaten badly by any of the teams in the East. I don't think that there's enough separation anymore for that to happen. I expect that the East will be a close race this year. Parity is gonna be the operative word IMO.

Didn't we just have a prediction thread a couple weeks ago? Has anything changed sine then?

We're all a bit older. And a bit wiser.

Well I did see that article where David Lee predicted a big season. Based on this earth shattering news I will increase my prediction by 10 games. I predict 53-29 and a loss in the European finals.

Chemistry problems, mental lapses, starting players based on salary and MSG commercials, moronic coaching, bad free throw shooting, and... fans boooing.
The last one can be a real killer...

Exactly and don't forget the usual. Any 'personal' problems. We can't afford anyone not' being present, so I based my total of 33 to 37 because of the thin thread we are living by at this time. Sorry, but true. If Q or Craw or both go down, that pretty much will take away our outside threat. If Zach gets in the slightest bit of trouble, that could affect our whole team. And I don't even want to mention if Curry goes down or if suckbury does something stupid again. Sorry to be so gloom, but come on! Can anyone here blame me? I"ve been trained into being a negative fan, by a chemistry of this team that is still questionable. And that's the key right now. It's still a question. But we'll see.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Barring injuries to other teams, we won't be in the playoffs.

Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

36-38 wins.
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.

sadly this team is a 'tweener...good enough to play .500 ball but probably not good enough to go anywhere in the playoffs. at least a crap team can end up with a high draft pick. anyhow, i do think the knicks will be entertaining to watch. they should play some barn burners. i think this is kind of msgs strategy...just get some names and create excitement. that's why i imagine artest will end up as a knick at some point in the next few months.

I used to think that our guys would one day 'put it together'

But- a lot of key players- Marbury, Crawford, Curry & Zach- are career underachievers- guys that put up numbers, have the talent, but don't win when it counts.

And I think they've been here long enough to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
