the knicks have a great point guard and the best back up poing guard in the nba in my opinion. i could say without any pressure that frank could start for any nba team as far as his talent goes and as far as his leadership at the position goes (pg). the knicks have one of the best shooters in the nba at sg. i also think the allan needs to get more stonger with the ball and find his teamates more. he talks about defense being the key and he must play with the mentality on a consistent basis in the game. the knicks alose are solid the sf position with keith being of a role but i think the needs to step up on defense more against the better opposition(ron kills keith on defense at kieth doesn't do the same to him, and t-mac at his position get guarded by allan isn't good enough)van horn must step up on defense and use his height more effectively. kurt thomas needs to rebound more effectively when going up against more effective players like antawn jamison, jermaine o'neil, shariff, ran. these guys get offensive rebounds over him. he needs to put his shot in more effeciently also, and stay off the silly fouls and silly emotion. i think he should be fine. dikembe is alright with me as long as he does everything he's been doing. rebounding, blocking. he needs to stay away from the sillyness with the refs though.
the knicks bench is solid with penny, frank, shandon, othella, doleac. i like all of those guys. they have to keep playing their game and be a good second unit.
these are my thoughts.
tell me what you think

i think we are right behind NJ Indiana and Detroit... i dont see why we cant be as good as any of those teams

Yup, top 5 eastern team easy. I no longer wish we could avoid games vs some of those teams. I now look forward to those games knowing they will b exciting especially the nets.
I think we have a more exciting rivalry now.

Kidd vs. Marbury
Houston vs. Kittles
KVH vs. Jefferson
Thomas vs. Martin

Deke vs. Collins fits in there sumwhere, even tho its not all that exciting.

portland had players with the talent but w/o chemistry, leadership ability, competitiveness. they were also a bunch of hard heads with no team spirit. i think the knicks have that and stephon and lenny will make this team jell and be competetive

the knicks roster is a joke. a mishmash of talented players who don't play very well together. don't forget keith van horn is still a knick.

A couple games since Zeke got here, Keith has taken his game to the next lvl. I think hes now a good fit for this team,although im not against trading him if we can get a more talanted player

When KVH gets traded for someone who can play down in the low post for us, see if you change your tune.

I can see you and the rest of the haters running behind the bandwagon trying to hitch a ride like Rerun on the beginning of What's Happening. LMMFAO!!!

It doesn't matter who agrees or disagrees with me; I say my piece regardless. I don't follow or fear anyone.

letitbeheard i agree,bringin in a low post threat would put us at 1 or 2 MOSTDEF!!

I dont want any more major changes. I would like an athletic big like Chris Anderson or Camby but I'm not giving up Frank to get it right now, because we can get one wiht the MLE.

This offense will take care of itself. KVH is now in the perfect compliment of players to play like he did when he got that max contract. Man to man KVH isnt a good player, but if he catches the ball when his man isnt set he's going to score on you... plain and simple. Also a 6'10 he's a good rebounder and finisher in traffic.

So far I love Penny as well. He's a perfect backup for Houston and KVH at the 2/3. And I've been VERY impressed by his energy on defense.

I think it will just come down to how well does this team play defense together? If they can play a good team D we are right there with the best in the East. If we struggle to get stops we will probably make the playoffs but get bounced early by a NJ or Indy.

yes teams will go man to man to try and stop the open j's but if that happens, Steph goes to the hoop. How many point guards can stop his moves to the basket. If they're good enough, quick enough u are going to see picks to spring him or a player dropping off to help and he has the vision to hit the drop off man's player ie pick and roll to the basket or an open j.

That is what Stephon brings to the offense. He's perfect for an offense like the knicks with everyone around him having the ability to hit the open 12-15 footer (exc Deke)
