Knicks will be fine, We will reach the ECF

In 2013.

[brisbaneman]

Baron Davis blows and there's no cohesiveness between Stoudemaire and anthony. also chandler is eating away at stoudemaires space

[GS1905]

:lol :lol knicks players can't play D to save their lives. you guys brought in chandler and still suck at D. At this point you'll be a 7 or 8 seed at best and lose in the first round just like last year. :lol :lol

you guys won't be reaching ECF in the next 10 years. :lol

[Scoooter]

I could see it going either way.

[Sarcastic]

God I hope not. D'Antoni would get an extension if we did.

[Scoooter]

That would suck if they won the Championship and brought back D'Antoni.

[Sarcastic]

That would suck if they won the Championship and brought back D'Antoni.

Yup.

[blablabla]

reaching the elf means beating either the bulls or miami and in the way we play right i don't see that happening
Our only hope is Baron Davis, if he plays like he can play he could get our shit together on the offensive end, our defense ain't too bad actually and if we could get back to scoring 100+ every game we would be a serious threat for the top teams

[SuperPippen]

Knicks definitely aren't playing up to their potential, and I expect their play to significantly improve as the season goes on, but they won't be reaching the ECF any time soon.

[swi7ch]

Why stop at ECF?

[rfoster24]

Lets get everyone healthy before we throw in the towel on this season.

Starters:

PG - Baron Davis
SG - Landry Fields
SF - Carmelo Anthony
PF - Amare Stoudemire
C - Tyson Chandler

6th Man - Iman Shumpert

Bench:

Toney Douglas
Josh Harrellson
Mike Bibby
Bill Walker
Jared Jeffries
Renaldo Balkman
Steve Novak

D League:

Jeremy Lin
Jerome Jordan


Needs:

1. Another SG or for Landry Fields to find his 3PT shot. We're really in need of a SG who can spot up and knock down the 3 to help with our issues with spacing. I dont think we should immediately start shopping Landry Fields for a "spot up shooter", not unless we get a better prospect in return. If we turn to the Free Agent ranks, there is always the likes of Rashad McCants & Eddie House who are available. In the D-League, there is Manny Harris, Morris Almond, Moses Ehambe, & Jeremy Hazell. If we wait for a player to return from Overseas, options include JR Smith & Sasha Vujacic(if he opts out of his contract).

2. Kenyon Martin. Another issue is our lack of a 3rd big man. No disrespect to Jorts or Jared Jeffries, but we need another PF who can come in the game and log 20-30 minutes if necessary. Martin missed 1/2 of last season but when he returned he established himself in Denver at the PF position, culminating with Martin averaging 11.8/7.8 in the Playoffs for Denver. What we need from Martin is the toughness he brings on the floor as an enforcer as well as his good man defense. The addition of Kenyon Martin would allow us to have a 3 man rotation of Amare/K-Mart/Chandler in the frontcourt depending on our matchup. We could play Kenyon Martin at PF and Amare at C, which is where Amare is at his most comfortable on offense, for more of a scoring output. If we need more interior defense we can play Amare or Kenyon Martin at PF with Tyson Chandler playing C. Splitting their minutes will hopefully cut down on the wear & tear of 3 big men with a history of knee issues.


We'll Be Fine.

Im not expecting a NBA Championship, but I dont see why we cant reach the ECF if we can remain healthy, fix our current issues with our lineup, and then get going.

D'Antoni remains a major issue but he has a season to fix things.

Copy/Paste.:oldlol:

I don't see why the Bucks cant reach the ECF, but that doesn't mean they will. The Knicks aren't a good team, regardless of what players you have the team.

Knicks collectively are a terrible team. They won't even make it out of the first round. Never seen a team with less chemistry ever.

[v1ncelis]

Without a doubt.

Suns-Knicks Finals. Knicks win first 3, then Suns storm back to tie it 3-3. In the last game, the score is tied at 208 with 3 seconds left, when Steve Nash makes the last pass of his career to a wide open Marcin Gortat (Amar'e and Melo were too busy arguing over whose turn it was to pretend to play defense) who drills the game winning 3. Nash retires and becomes the Prime Minister of Canada.

[Whoah10115]

??? No we won't. Not with this core. Not unless Baron Davis is physically near Baron Davis, healthy, in shape, and finally mature. He's young enough that he could be better than ever. It's about his health and his maturity.


But like I said, the problem is that the team feels like a bunch of stars together, like New York always wants, like New York never had when Ewing was there and it was actually needed. There is no core or personality to this team. It's not D'Antoni's fault either. He just hasn't made anything out of it.

[Jameerthefear]

They will not beat the Bulls or Heat
or the Magic or the Hawks or the Sixers. They MIGHT beat the Pacers...

Are all better and will beat the knicks in a 7 game series.Indiana and Philly are probaly even and in the 6ers case a bit better so a ECF birth is nothing more then a fantasy.

I don't think Orlando can beat the Knicks in 7 to be quite honest and the Hawks would be tougher, and again I would go with the Knicks. Miami and Chicago are the winners though.

[chips93]

what has this team deserved to get this much slack? they are still getting the benefit of the doubt, and i would understand this if it were a proven playoff team like boston, or the lakers who were struggling, but a team centered around a clearly over-the-hill big man who plays absolutely no defense, possibly the worst defensive big man getting big minutes in amare, and a small forward who doesnt play much more defense, who cant really co-exist with anybody offensively, not with lin, not with amare, and not with any of the other role plays on this team.

its fair to give a bit more credit to teams that have proven something, but this knick team doesnt deserve the benefit of the doubt, like teams like the lakers and the celtics do.

[Bigsmoke]

Chalmers had Lin in a straight jacket and Rose will own that poor kid.

i agree with this fully.

i don't get why our coach isn't fired tomorrow. i get we have players underachieving. But you can't transplant a roster midseason, and we have strange subtitution patterns, we have no defensive rotations and no one is held accountable, and the way we play offense tires our own guys out more than the other team. It hurts my heard. And then our coach comes out after the game and says he's unprepared and didn't get his team ready. I mean WTF...

[blablabla]

they many need structure, but even if you are playing a pick up game, there is plenty of simple rotations that every basketball player should be able to make. you dont need coaching for that. and these simple rotations, are things that some knicks just dont do.

you can blame the coaching if they arent really organised, loading up on the ball, etc., like the bulls, or heat or celtics, but the knicks dont do some basic shit defensively that you have to blame on the player.

its not MDA's fault that amare cant do shit defensively.

theres no schemes that make up for his short comings defensively.
