I think we see Amare play like the best PF in the league and felton become a borderline all-star overnight. Also, azubuike bring a great all around game and solidify himself as a very good shooting guard who can do a lot of different things. Also, because of our increased depth and overall better team, chandler and douglas' numbers dip a little, as do their minutes. They will still be very productive, and have good seasons however.

This perfect sentence captures the essence of the Knicks franchise from 1947 to the present. So do yourself a favor, put down the statistical studies or division of minutes because it ain't that kinda party. All you need to enjoy what promises to be the most exciting season in decades...I'm psyched and ready to enjoy the bright moments, and shaky baby steps, as the New Knicks learn to run as a team.

Forget the projections because nothing is guaranteed, Kelenna Azubuike could show up wearing a walking cast and Wilson Chandler just might average 24 points a game.

All you need is to remember one simple phrase:

"dese guys don't do nuttin da easy way"

Under Mike Dantoni's system, i can see those stats for each player for the season. As for the #6 seed, yep, knicks got a good chance at that spot. Let's see what actually happens:
