I'm not playing the optimist/pessimist hot potato with you. We mostly sucked this pre-season, so playing better won't be hard. But it won't make us a playoff team. You're the one who needs to get real.

See the obvious then whatever

melo went off...until we put jj on him and then he struggled.

casey yelled at the team at the half and the raptors came out with some defensive intensity and the knicks basically wilted. like literally gave up.

then casey pulled his starters and basically said that's it - not going to risk injury.

melo then went into "immagetmine" mode - which i'm sure you're all going to see alot of this season.

jr smith has no clue what to do lol...

It's early so laugh while you can. You won't be laughing when this Knicks team gets going.

i'm not laughing - just telling it like it is.

the knicks will have no idea what to do once a team actually decides to play defense. this triangle stuff is not going to work with this particular roster. you have no guards other than jose + pablo that can play it. and you don't have a pf that can play in it either. this season is going to see alot of melo trying to bail the team out again night after night. i think if the knicks can get to 37 wins, you should call it a minor miracle.

You're not giving this team a chance to actually play in the system before you pronounce this the best they can do. It's ok cuz the real season is about to start.

WE ARE LOSING THIS GAME WITH HE AND AMARE ON THE FLOOR

I hope it doesn't take 5 games

You act like the Knicks have been outclassed. All that's happened is we're behind other teams in terms of getting acclimated to the new system. Even still it's not like you can't see signs of progress. This team is gonna be a lot better than this.
