This year, out pg is 5 weeks away and when he does arrive, he will have to work out some kinks and get familiar with the team aswell. So we could be talking about 7-8 weeks before we see this team really start to gel and get some type of flow offensively.

I hate to say it, but this is even optimistic. Baron could come back, get reinjured as we've seen happen so many times before, or just not be the same player he was.

I must have missed the part where we turned it around big time!

....meaning we started 3-7, i believe, and we made it to the playoffs whihc is something since we were labeled as a lottery team. maybe big time was an exaggerated but we turned things around.

People like to be drama queens

We were 3-8 and won 15/16 game including 8 in a row. It was turned around for a bit until Felton and Wilson hit a wall. Then we dipped down to around .500 before the trade.

Look, people are going to be pissed as hell until the Knicks at least look like they are running some semblence an offense. STAT will not continue to miss wide open shots. This start reminds me a lot of last year but it is true we had the advantage of having a PG getting in the swing of things. On talent alone we should beat teams on our upcoming schedule. 2 months from now when Baron has been playing for a bit and we have our depth back this team is going to be top 4 in the east. Mark it down.

....why i am coming off the ledge. good points.
