I'M BACK!!! I CAN REMAIN SILENT NO LONGER! Holfresh, brother I totally feel you. It's not about being blind to the real issues with the team, but there just seems to be a general disconnect with some fans when it comes to this roster. As i've said many times, some of us just don't like some of the players or the Coach and they can't get past that and see the postive aspects of the team.
The team is far from perfect, but then few teams are, especially in the East. At this point in the teams development we should be feeling more positive about the fact that we seem to be even more competitive this year. Think about this, we have a nice mix of homegrown players and guys we've brought in via trade and they're all relatively young.
Now think about this. All we really need for this team to do is to continue to work at improving the D and being consistent. It's not an issue of the team being talented enough. It's about 1-9 being fully commited and fully aware of their roles and what it's going to take to win. Now so far it seems that we've seen some good signs of that beginning to happen.
So this begs the question of why there is a need for some to still be on the sidelines bashing or looking for ways to get rid of players on this team? We haven't even seen the best of this team yet IMO. What would we look like if Q was actually playing like his usual self? What happens when we get Mardy and Jared fully healthy, giving us even more depth and versatility? What will Chandler be able to contribute if anything this year? We aren't even using all the talent we have on tap. So why do some want to make it seem like things are still bad for this franchise?
I will add tho that there seems to have been an increase in those of us who are willing to get behind the team and that has led to me feeling good about coming back. There seem to be a very vocal minority that still hasn't bought in. Let's hope that the team shows the needed commitment to doing the right things and perhaps that will lead to more of us getting on board with this team.
GO KNICKS!!!
