Season is pretty much over. You can't beat the T Wolves on the road, you are not going to the play offs.

Thus far this year, is there one thing that you can point to to say "Yea, we sucked in 09/10, but at least _____ happened"

And no - this is not about anything that might happen over the summer.

I'm talking like - At least we found out Jordan Hill belong and could stick in the NBA, or TD could be our PG of the future.

Yeah. Hill has talent. Gallo should be good. Jeffries has a role and has been earning his money. Chandler is good. There are some bright spots.

Hill has played 187 minutes. At least he has more NBA minutes than Rubio does this year.

Up to this point, you can't argue that Hill has been a bright spot unless you want to commend the way his ass covers his seat on the bench.

Gallo, maybe. He's shown flashes of being really good, but then he's also shown flashes of being pretty much invisible.

Brightest spot this year - might very well be the play of JJ.

And that is in itself, a sad state of affairs.

The only bright spot is we never did any stupid trades/signings this year.
And if we will not do any - this will be the biggest achievements in years.

at least we see that Gallo is more than just some Euro trash with stiff legs

at least we see that Jordan Hill has skills & looks promising

at least we see that David Lee can expand his game into deeper water on the offense

at least Wilson Chandler is being more aggressive off the dribble & not settling for as many perimeter J's (tho tonight's game he did too much shooting of bricks)

at least Donnie didn't make any stupid starphuch trades to mortgage our future for some meaningless playoff run

at least Duhon will not be our starting PG in 2011

at least Eddy Curry hasn't become a distraction while collecting his free money

at least we got something back in return for Nate before he walks for nothing (hoping i'll be able to say that at least but not very optimistic at this point)

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Gallo n Chan are most likely to both still be here and it's clear they can be serious contributors. Happy that both Hill n TD look to have very good NBA talent. We know for sure that we have some role players to work with.
That was a big question coming into the season. If we keep Lee he's still getting better which was also a question coming in. One bad thing is that Duhon proved that the 2 yr contract was actually too long.

Gallo for sure is the brightest thing on the Knicks this year by far!!

Chandler is pretty much same player he was last year..

Nate has done the Moonwalk and is much less a player this year then last..

Lee has gone better on the offense end but worse on D

Jeffries has played awesome D but has got worse on O

We signed no one!..... So far we have traded no one!!

We are a losing team!!..... We have no pick!!

Oh guess that leads to the next good thing Everyone is gone next year!!

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

those aren't bright spots, those are cataracts.

time to shut it down. bring on the bulldozers...

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I think we learned that Gallo, Chandler and Lee are a very solid core of players to move forward with. When we got decent, not great, but just decent PG play this year we won games and beat good teams.

In wins Duhon is shooting 44% (48% from three)
in Losses Duhon is shooting 29% (25% from three)

Douglas has shown flashes and so has Hill. Not sure how good they will be but are at least rotation guys.
