ZEKE: "I wanted to put together a team that was exciting for the fans to come and watch, a team that had some character and some guts, but also a team that you can grab a box of popcorn and grab a soda and enjoy the game," Thomas said. "You want players and you want a team that people want to see. I think this is a team that when everyone is healthy and playing well, it can be an exciting team that people will want to see and talk about."



WHERE IS THE WORD CHAMPIONSHIP SPOKEN OF??? hmmmm

He'll say the "C" word, after we sign Sheed for the MLE...
If anyone knows of a SMART Knicks forum, with lots of activity, and minus people like PLAYA... holla at your boy.

Thomas inherits a team that's playing sub-400 ball, missed playoffs 2 years in a row. We stunk. Now you're suggesting he's not doing his job if he doesn't win the championship in his first half year. The team is loads better, is loads closer to winning a title ... and, yes, has brought energy and enthusiasm back to the garden so people want to go there and spend their money. Plus in every category. IT has been saying all along he's moving toward building a championship. He didn't repeat it in one interview. So what?

How does me stating this was a tickets move state that Zeke is not doing his job ? He made a statment at the press conference that he wants to win a champioship and the clones highlighted that quote, to me he's sounding like Dolan.

he said from the get go his goal and only goal was to win a title here. IS there something wrong with building an exciting team along the way?

true indeed. zeke does'nt have to say he wants to win a championship everytime he speaks. "if we don't get a championship, i consider that failure". NUFF' SAID ZEKE. now name it happen.

"No, no no," Thomas said with a laugh. "I know everybody is excited about us getting started. It's going to take us a while before you can really start talking about winning the championship this year. If these guys do, then God bless them."

Swish get a grip son, we would have made the playoffs anyway before these last trades ,how do you guys forget that boggles my mind. The real focus is on going far into the playoffs, look at all the changes do you think this is for ticket sales or going far in playoffs?

How the hell were we gonna make the playoffs before the trades? R y nuts? The team before the trade was a sorry collection of Layden bums who knew nothing about basketball. Dyess is on IR, NEWSFLASH!!! Spoon and Eisly suck so much they'll be named the honorary vacumes of the NBA soon. This team w/out Marbury is a joke. And done event thinka bout bringin up that idiotic winning streak of 4 against horrible teams, it dont mean nothing.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Simrud get your head out of the sand the east is pathetic, alot of teams have a chance to make the playoffs and are in the hunt. The only thing different now is we are reaching for a higher seed instead of 8th . Man you really are short minded, remember how we just missed out of the playoffs with layden and chaney and Eisley ? If Frank was playing we would have been fine (making playoffs) maybe not a high seed but we would have made it. Maybe you weren't sure of it but I was!

playa, i understand and respect the fact that you voice your opinion no matter what, but c'mon were going from a possible 8th seed in a confrence that sucks, to fighting for the 6th seed without our #1 option in about a month and a half!
we now have a team that i can actually stand to watch. can't you tell by the ticket sales that most people feel the same way?
example: we rid ourselves of two supposable untradeble players.
example:we went from having frank(who as you put it)"would been fine" to having one of the best points in the league.(argueably the best in the east)
let's say for arguements sake that we made it to the playoffs as the 8th seed with your old team. how far in EVERYONE on this board's opinion do you think we would have gone?
