im not too upset because i knew this was a rebuilding year but the sunshines and rainbows outlook is a lot to ask

Be kind. He's a tele-tubbie. He can drink sewage and fart lollipops.

Don't be surprised we new what we was getting with this team. Im still going to enjoy my Knicks this season.

the knicks were predictably godawful on defense. i think you have known that for a long time.

i said the defense would put the knicks in a 6-7 game hole that only a top 5 offense would allow them to become .500.

do you foresee the defense improving? yes or no

do you foresee the offense gelling into a top 5 offense? yes or no

i like wear but he looked like a deer in headlights before that bucket

Hopefully he eats into Jason Smith's minutes

I'm pretty sure for some here it's just what you wanted to see. This team is going to have better nights than this so why get crazy after one game?

Dude get used to seeing these kinds of loses this season. I hate to rain on parades but this team is a bunch of square pegs with absolutely no quality depth and only one or two players on the _entire roster_ who can adequately play defense.

It doesn't matter if we execute the hell out of the triangle when teams shred the **** out of our defense every night we are going to lose A LOT.

How anyone could watch this game and see positives an any hope of beating the myriad of low 30 win projections is beyond me. Actually it's not. Pass that pipe and powder I wanna get High as hell.

We lost to a team we were supposed to lose to. Whether we lose by 24 or 4 what does it matter? Hopefully this lights a fire under them.

The way we played was brutal. Are we supposed to be down to any team on home turf by 35 on opening night? We looked robotic over-matched at every position, out-coached. You name it, we were bad. Name me a good team in the last 20 years to get wiped out at home on opening night--and where do you see the upside?
