I love Langston, Lance & Amundsen. Cole, Acy & Smith.

They remind me of the Knicks I started to first follow- when Bernard went down and Hubie was the coach. Rory Sparrow, Darryl Walker. Louis Orr. Pat Cummings. Ken the Animal Bannister. Press & trap. Outgunned every game, but not out hearted.

The top pick has hardly gone to the absolute worst team historically speaking.

I actually feel better about being the 2nd or 3rd worst for some reason.

this is a catch 22. On the bright side, we see the system works. Team ball works. And when Melo doesn't force things, he is efficient.

But, which method gets us more talent, FA or the draft? I'd argue the draft has more potential for a franchise changing talent. There isn't that kind of player available in FA this year.

I actually think this team will still be in position for the most ping pong balls or at the least a top 5 pick. In this draft we're safe if we can be in that range. The Jets wins were stupid because they don't have a lottery and exactly where you end up is where you'll pick. Now that was a big deal. With the Knicks there's no guarantee of where you will end up.

lakers lost kobe so they arent too far away

I watched the first half of Lakers yesterday- up big and I see they lost.

We could end up dropping out of the top 3/4 spots.

if we go on a streak before the all star break and we get muddled into those pack of teams make no mistake it would be disastrous and we could conceivably be looking at the 10th pick all of a sudden... i don't care how good an occasional win feels.... if that happens.. that will set the franchise back by another 5 years... .
