I think the Knicks will continue to get wins against these quality teams (Chi, Den, OKC in the last few games) and continue to win games against inferior teams.

No suprise at all. The suprise would be how great Fields has been and how we have gotten nothing from AR.

i was looking at an old ESPN article that was published just after July about the Best FGA acquisition and Worst. Amare had second most votes from a pool or 80 or so ESPN writers for WORST.

Same type of article about whom would be the biggest surprise for a team. TONS of votes for AR, I think he was the second vote getter.

The Knicks have two All Stars, a legitimate ROY candidate, and are five games over .500... just goes to show how bad the team was

See I just don't understand that - Amare was money in PHX and sure there were questions about his health (but he came back last season and played awesome) and maybe the whole Nash effect - but you couldn't argue that he was a BAD player. I seriously didn't understand why Bosh got all the love, he is OK but Amare is better.

Bosh ain't bad. He scored agains't us at will. We need a big man to take him on. I believe D'Antoni thinks he can will with a real center and he is dead wrong. This small lineup that we have can't rebound and especially on the offensive boards. Feb is coming and Time is running out in Denver. If Carmelo turns down the Nets offer and make them deal with us or he waits till the end of the season we get Carmelo for nothing and sign Chandler with birds right, pick up a defensive center, another point guard and away we go. Because of the friend ship between Gallo's father and D'Antoni I don't think that he will get traded.

I thought we'd get more out of AR and even Timo. I also didn't think AZ would be so long in getting back to playing form. I'm very proud of the team. I see growth from so many of our young players and I think we've got a good future. Fun to be a Knick fan again.

I'm also surprised how far we've gotten with so little contributions from what should be comprising our legit second unit. Okay, Azu injury was far more serious than we thought, but NOTHING from AR and Timo. Bill Walker and Roger Mason Jr. turning in regular DNP's and the BIGGEST BUST, Eddie Curry, still holding one part or another, still a no-show. I expected a .500 record, and to sneak into the playoffs, but am plesantly surprised how far we've gone with so little
