but fish, you dumb bastard, isiah has put us in salary cap hell for the next 10 years. we have no draft picks and absolutely no way to improve this team. i look at us having an upside of 42 wins and a downside of 38. but regardless, we're stuck in mediocre hell. 1 round, maybe 2 and we're out. we probably should've just torn the whole thing down after ewing and rebuilt with cap space and draft picks, like chicago and atlanta.

whoa...total out of body experience there...note to self, NEVER drink grape kool-aid.

win win win - that solves all questions and doubts. i do believe though that if we can get out of the gate quick, we can win 50 games like detroit did 2 years ago. i'm pretty excited about this squad, especially the fact that we're more of a complete squad now than we've been in years.

Ideally, a team captain should possess leadership qualities and be respected by team mates and the coaching staff. The captain should also have a clear understanding of the coaching philosophy. Captain denotes "leader" and is typically a veteran who knows the ropes and rules of engagement both on and off the court. Someone capable to guide his team mates through on and off court adversity.

Many of you might see Allan Houston (as well as Marbs and Penny) as lacking leadership qualities because he is not in your face or as verbally and physically demonstrative as say Kurt (2 Techs's) Thomas or TT (2 Lazy 2 rebound Gazy), but I disagree, I think that Allan, Penny and Marbs are very disciplined principled individuals who exudes quiet confidence publicly but whose actions speak louder than words. I see Allan as a veteran leader, more so than Marbs who by the definition of his position as a point guard requires, a "me second" approach, if you think in terms of a "pure" point. Marbs is a score first point, but he is making strides.

A true leader leads by example. Practices hard, doesn't complain, comes in and gives 200 % everytime on the floor and does what needs to be done and maintains an optimistic attitude in the face of adversity and has learned to overcome obstacles. This is where a leader shines. Even if he lacks physical skills, it is the ability to motivate and inspire others and get them to work together as a cohesive unit. That is chemistry.

I totally agree with fishmike: "Lets see Lenny push these guys to play together and be unselfish. Right now he's the most important captain we have."

I see Allan, and Penny as the captains of this Knicks team. I don't see TT as a leader. Leaders don't run their mouth, while sitting on there butt or cry to the media about the big bad wolf. What I would like to see more from from Tiny Tim Gazy, considering the talent he has, is more aggression and penetration in the hole, to get the opposing defenders in foul trouble, while getting TT to the charity stripe. Also would like to hear him less and see him get some more rebounds.

As currently comprised, this team has the potential to win the division, and do some damage in the playoffs, but potential does not translate into wins.

I didn't

HeH, thought it was kind of obvious after the "we probably should've just torn the whole thing down after ewing and rebuilt with cap space and draft picks, like chicago and atlanta."

yeah....detroit goes from 30-52 to back to back 52-30 seasons followed by a championship.....less talent, less excuses

at least this season, lenny best have this team playing .500 ball
