noname website predicts knicks will be last in atlantic this season
September 6, 2007 – 6:08 amthey say they did formulas, but was their formula for picking Boston as #1 in the East as simplistic as
KG + Ray Allen + Paul Pierce = NBA Finals
?
Hollinger and Kamla must have helped them crunch those numbers.
Call me a playa hata, but I haven’t seen that team ball yet and we know that they still have a few pieces missing to make a serious run.
Reminds me of when GP and Malone went to the Lakers. My coworker was handing them the trophy before they even played their first game together. I knew that it it was a little more complicated than that, but he was like “I don’t care what you think, if Shaq and Kobe and Malone and GP are on the same team, it’s over.”
Funny how wrong he was about that. I knew it at the time he said it, but let him have his own opinion about it.
there are a lot of variables involved here. offensively, lets give them the benefit of the doubt. they have three of the best scorers in the business. how will doc rivers handle the pressure of knowing his team has to produce? how will he manage three superstar’s egos possibly clashing when shot attempts aren’t there? how hard will it be to have a dominant record in the atlantic with so much competition in the atlantic now, NJ, NYK, Tornto? Philly don’t want to be walked all over either.
the celtics and knicks have one thing in common: all the key players on each team don’t know what it is like to really win in this league. they been called all-star caliber players, but how many cumulative second-round appearances from both teams? how many total nba finals appearances from both teams?
i’m bracing myself for these season previews. i’ve never heard of that website, but even some of the more reputable names will be dogging isiah and co. i’m betting it won’t be the only one that has new york at the bottom of the atlantic.
but the games have yet to be played.
