Does anyone honestly think our heroes are less talented than Orlando or Utah? Those two teams beat us with a rookie disappointment named Trey Burke, a grossly overpaid/overhyped Gordon Hayward, a nobody with a really bad hairstyle named Fournier, and a kid named Tobias who learned how to play basketball on those rough and tough playgrounds of Long Island! That's who we are losing to and that's who people are saying we aren't as talented as.

Do you honestly think the Knicks' problem is that we lack talent? Isn't having the league's top three scorer, the sixth man of the year winner, a fantastic international point guard (two of them!), two kids whose sports DNA insures great things from them, Shump, Acy, Jason Smith (who knew he would be this good?), solid play from aging Amar'e...

This is not a team that lacks talent!

You must be a Yankee fan. If they don't have an All Star at every position, they feel the team lacks talent.

What exactly do you want? That we should put together a team as talented as Utah and Orlando? Do you honestly think Utah and Orlando are teams with more talent than us?

Dude. Seriously. You're totally wrong about me. I don't expect all stars at every position. You on the other hand are failing to properly integrate reality. This teams STARTING LINEUP, besides Melo, wouldn't start on almost any other NBA team. JR Smith, is a complete head case and a lost cause. Larkin and Hardaway's DNA?! Say what?

So You really think Prigs is a international superstar? Or whatever you called him? Where's the defense on this roster?

Get your terms of address correct sir. It is World Class Pablo. Don't forget it.

We are very poor at PG with Jose out and our big men are a joke. This team isn't talented enough to play as stupid as they do on a nightly basis.

Correction: Bottom feeders perhaps, but far more talented rosters than ours. Saying we should not lose to younger, more talented teams that are already ahead of us in the long-term talent race is kind of unreasonable. I don't know about Utah, but Orlando may be able to play for something in the next year or two.

We can't be said to be better than a single club right now, so any victory has to be won by outworking the other team. Do you have confidence our nightly effort will be enough to generate wins?

Even when we've seen effort, almost every game has big lulls where the team nods off and the other team starts beating up on us. It's the NBA, so no games are guaranteed wins or losses. The way they'll win is staying focused for a whole game. Despite Melo's efforts, the team nodded off for a stretch again the last game.

And your point is?????

That you lack talent to determine what is interesting to discuss or a flat out rant.

Haywood can play and all around game Saw this dude in SLC last year play and he took apart the Suns himself. This dude is a very complete player. He looked as good as paul george. He got Paul George money too! Face of the franchise in HonkeyTown USA. Don't hold that against him.

FIREWOODSON, you get reactions but really whats the point? The games speak louder than anything you can say. Since you lack objectivity you really don't add anything.

I might not either, but nobody complaining.
