All these negative threads and the season hasn't even started.

I am looking forward to watching Bargs play with Melo
Metta stir things up on defense
Melo become more of an all-around player and still score 25 a night
Shump take the next step toward becoming a star
Tyson to get back to 100% and play like 2 years ago
Stat to add a spark for his 15 min
Pablo pressure the ball
KMart swat someone 10 rows up
Hardaway Jr knock down 3's

CAN. NOT. WAIT. Incredibly excited. Hoping that Bargs pulls it together, we get solid PG play and our perimeter D improves enough so Chandler can get back to form.

What makes me excited is look at the lineup that was so successful early on last season. We had Melo, Chandler, Felton, Kidd, and Brewer when playing at the highest level. It was a fun team. I think replacing Brewer with Artest and Kidd with Shumpert improves this team, and adding Bargnani in addition to that makes the lineup a little more traditional, but definitely more talented. Hopefully this team comes together early like last season, only is able to sustain that success with the improvement in talent and depth.

bargs/woody/melo trifecta will not end well,

Excited?????

I don't watch preseason because it is crap. I don't read too much about the hype or the rantings on the UK cuz they knee jerk reactions to preseason.

Excited????

Lets just say IM very glad the season is starting and EXCITED to be watching games!

I really have no idea what this team is capable of so lets say im excited for it to start and see where it goes!

Knicks will be fine

Just because they changed their GM 2 weeks before the season started
Signed a basketball player who might not be the best player at any individual YMCA
Brought back the President of basketball operations who presided over 8 losing seasons and a sexual harassment case
Gave up draft picks for a player no one else would again
Went 2-5 in pre season with the 2nd worst differential in scoring and worst on the D
Means nothing:) Im on record that we will win the NBA championship now-- Now I have to wonder by which games we will hear boos?
So lets go

RIP Crushalot😞

I know it was preseason, but some of our same issues are still glaring. rebounding, defense, too much ISO, too much relying on melo, lack of ball movement..

woodson still baffles me, like why reward JR even a chance to compete for a starting spot after getting suspended, on top of that he wasn't even ready for camp because of injury..Mean while shump kept a clean bill of health, worked all summer, was ready from day 1, and still has to battle against someone who's played all of 12 minutes..smh..Then had the nerve to insert pablo into the starting line up even though you have no plans on starting him..

when you have a coach making moves like this, it's tough to get really excited

Have to admit that Mills coming back and JR's brother being signed took some of the air out, but its another season and you never know what will happen.

It's nice to be exicted and with hoops back. But, we are not going to be a top seed and are looking at the 5 spot at best. What were the positives from the preseason?

No rebounding, no efficient shooting, limited scoring options, no post game, poor rebounding and bad defense, no one that creates easy shots for anyone.

Major Questions:
Can Amare and Martin stay healthy?
Will Shumpert take the next step?
What do you get from Chandler?
Is MWP going to add further isolation to the offense?
What are we getting from Andrea?
Does Melo's shoulder flare up?

We have only one constant on this team, Melo will score the ball and go on a hot streak a couple of times a year and carry the offense.

Woodsen is stubborn. He will always be. He will allow isolation ball to take place give double standards for JR Smith, inevitably throw someone in the doghouse that doesn't belong.

Stop me if I have said anything wrong?

Im always excited for the Knicks. even during the dark isiah thomas years i always was pumped up even though we sucked. However i cant blame some fans for being frustrated. Its been a long time since the knicks got far in the playoffs. Yes 54 wins was nice but its time to make a serious run

It's too much that has to go right for us to be a real threat and out of the 6 issues you brought up, nothing looks to be solve base on what i have seen so far

"I don't yet," the coach said Monday when asked about starting World Peace or Bargnani against the Bucks. "I really don't."

It's interesting that Woodson is still wrestling with his starting five just two days before the Knicks open the regular season.

The coach was committed to using Bargnani in the starting lineup throughout the preseason. But he may have changed his mind because of Bargnani's shooting struggles -- the forward shot just 38 percent from the floor in seven preseason games. Or, Woodson may not want to reveal his starting five publicly. If he announced his starting lineup on Monday, Milwaukee would have two days to prepare.

you don't want to reveal your line up because you are worried that a lottery bound team will have 2 days to prepare for you..Really, you have change nothing about your offense and your worried about a team that doesn't have a single star or is some defensive lock down team..

Yeah were all excited after hearing this
