KnicksDefense,

I liked they way he handled the media with some of his playful responses, he’s been schooled about the mood here

I am looking forward to some roster tweaks and I hope somebody who cares has Eddy Curry on a treadmill, because truth is no matter if he stays or goes he needs to be in shape for once

Good to see that DLee is planning to hook up with Nash to learn this offense, I am concerned though that unless he has improved on his jumper Mike D might want him gone.

Do we need more of that on this team ? I think we have enough of those here already. We have to start w/ a PG/floor leader. I'm not a huge Crawford fan but I'm not in favor of duplicating what we have by drafting Rose unless we can trade Crawford for a solid PG.

Beasley looks nice too if D Rose is not still on the board. Also I know some of the ForceMD's would like to see Mr. Love in orange and blue. I hear you JohnQ.

I liked that line about the media expecting d'antoni to turn it around by the third game of the preseason. that was a little jab back at the media to let them feel him from day one. mn knicks fan, i hear you about not tanking, and here's to the non-tankers getting what they deserve. I think maybe that's what CooleyHigh was also talking about in #3, but still, it reminds me of the old Pat "tank city" Riley quote: "in basketball, there is winning, and there is misery" now despite only winning 33 games, we did have some great moments during Isiah's first year as coach of the knicks. But in the second season, it was a whole lot of misery. so when the end of the season was coming, and I started to check out the top tier players leading up to the NC2A tournament, I started to think about the single benefit of all the games where we weren't able to compete in for one reason or another: a high pick. The late 3-game win streak may have helped prove we were not tanking (sort of) but it also mathematically decreased our odds of taking the cake next week. I'm not saying it is impossible, the numbers in the table above say little about luck. Speaking of luck, I heard we're sending Mike D'Antoni to the lottery in Secaucus next week for some good luck. Like Cooleyhigh said, it is great to welcome back some of the esteemed Knick bloggers like Saipanknickster, Minnesota Knicks fan, Syd, TMan, Kevin Harewood, and of course Jazz on here. thanks all for checking in, we missed your valued commentary, no doubt about it. saipanknickster, yeah the only one i know of that was sold on d’antoni before the signing was berman, everyone else was pretty skeptical due to the roster.
