Hey it wasn't pretty, but those two guys pulled down some very important boards towards the end. We beat the world champs.

This Knicks team scored over 100 points in four games (averaging 108). I made the point that when they score over a hundred, we have a better chance at winning. This is war. War against themselves and pushing it beyond what they normally could do. We should be proud of these guys and give them more credit then we are giving them. This is only preseason, but the only difference is 'it doesn't count as regular season record'.

GO KNICKS! GO KNICKS! GO KNICKS!

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!

I'll never trust this' team again.

You especially don't get it. But I'm not going to criticize you too much. Have a good night man and feel better in the morning.

*sigh* I don't know. I think you're being too optimistic. I was always the kind of fan that tried to be more objective than optimistic anyway. And of course it doesn't help that the Knicks have failed to meet expectations the last decade.

It's going to take you ten years just to get it back. LOL! And feel free to jump on anytime you want!

I can't believe that there is someone else here who has taken up the mantel of UK Optimist around here.

I'm happy that the players have a coach like MDA now, cuz I think some of these guys have been getting a bad rap due to the mess caused by some of our players and the coaches we've had who have been set on their own agendas and not thinking team 1st. I've always maintained that our players weren't as bad as they've played and needed better leadership. I hope that they can continue to be molded by MDA and become a better team.

We all know the team isn't perfect, but we do have players worth rooting for. I've hated all the bashing the last 3 years. I was often pretty much alone and I took the hits, but I'm glad to see others now starting to view our players in a different light.

This isn't about being right or wrong, this is about wanting to see this team headed in the right direction. This is about seeing these kids learning a winning culture and pride of team, unselfishness and good work habits. This is what I see MDA bringing to the table. It may take most of the season or it could come quicker, but it will happen. For that ALL Knick fans should be happy.

GO KNICKS!!!

the knicks, if they play like this every night, have a 50/50 chance of winning any given game. That works out to 41 wins and probably the 7 or 8 seed.

I saw Curry p-p-playing d-d-d-defense. Now I'm scared and c-c-confused.

nixluva, I have changed my ways. I give all of these players a full clean slate. I wanna give them every opportunity to be successful in the new system. I believe they can thrive under this new system and I'd really like to see guys like Marbury go out with some kind of dignity and not to feel like it was a total loss.

True, I was one of the biggest critics around here, but it's just time and I hope those who I have influenced, I hope you come back this way also.

I didn't see any hope for them the last couple of years, but now they have that chance and I think we should all come to their rally. And this time, whether they win or lose all year long. I'll poke and jab, but I won't stab anyone anymore.

GO KNICKS!!!

Man i've gotten KILLED around here for being a supporter of these players. I was accused of being delusional, tho I really did see the kind of ability that these guys are showing now. To me it was all about leadership and coaching. We didn't have any leaders on the floor and poor coaching IMO.

For the 1st time these kids have someone who is really coaching and not playing games. No more behind the scenes wars between the coach, GM and Owner. I mean how others didn't see how that could adversely effect the performance of the players is beyond me. That kind of lack of direction would make any team look bad.

I hated the job LB did and was totally disappointed with what Isiah did. With Isiah it was a wasted opportunity, cuz he had the right idea!!!! Just look at how these guys look doing what he originally set out to do. He was such a weak character, that he didn't stick to his guns. He threw out his own playbook and eventually stopped coaching all together. Man that guy totally cracked under the pressure.

Now we need to see this team carry this threw into the regular season. I want to see continued growth and I look forward to the day when we can make some trades to improve the roster.

Knowing My luck I'll probably over jump the bandwagon and land in a nearby thorny bush.

PE senior's first points as a Knick come off a put-back dunk. PE junior does the same. Pretty cool.

People are saying Curry played defense last night? That's pretty funny, b/c I must be watching a different Eddie Curry. It looked to me like he was playing piss poor defense. Not coming out aggresively to shooters, and BACKING OFF on players who are driving, literally looking intimidated. He's supposed to be challenging those layups. Notice I didn't say block shots. I said challenging. He failed to do that constantly last night.

Curry doesn't get an A for just being able to run around on the court a little bit, and hardly being a presence. He wasn't a presence.

I hardly was paying attention to the game when PEJ came in. I saw his dunk though, which was sweet, but it looked like his mind got caught up in it, b/c he messed up on a couple of plays afterwards.

Regardless, we need to keep him. Curry isn't a fit on this team.
