I see this team as the best in the east on paper. But thats just paper. And thats the east, but lets get a real coach who can get the most. We had a chance to win most of our games. With better coaching and less turnovers. we could be in first.

The problem ko, is that "paper" doesn't tell you about how bad H2O and KVH are on defense, how bad Eisley and Ward are at point and how much Dice is limping. The "paper" also doesn't tell you about how old Deke is. We are far from being the best team in the east even on paper.

We dont have a single Superstar. We compare our best player to Latrell Sprewell who is a third option on another team's offenses. Look at every team in the east with promise, they all have atleast one superstar. None of our best players would be first option on any other team at this time of course.

You go back to their primes and then Dice is a franchise and Deke can be your entire defense. But this team is just like the rangers, a bunch of athletes with no chemistry but potential. A new coach can definately take us a long way but even he cannot bring us to a championship series let alone a championship.

But Zeke is here and he has given me more hope in 1 week than Layden did in 4 years. The Ding dongs have begun with slavko the serbian and looks like Spoon is gonna go ding dong too.

Good post, Silver.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!
