Anyone remember Pat Riley's first season as head coach, when we took the Bulls to seven, absorbed their best shots, and delivered some telling smackdowns of our own (than you X-Man), before they turned on the after-burners in Game 7?

"Anyone in here who doesn't believe we can win this series, there's the door."

Or words to that effect. 

Y'all do what you feel. 

Everyone has their own agenda and set of expectations. 

Rose-Colored Me?

I am not pulling for the lottery. 

PS: November seems a tad early to make any Biblical Pronouncements.  Last year we started off strong, then faded fast as Timmy and KP went down.  I would look to the post-XMAS/Pre-AllStar Game period to gauge our progress or the lack thereof.  Need to go through the league at least once, and afford some return bouts to ascertain which lessons have been learned, and which ones are yet to be inculcated.

Welllll....... KP's still down

Ya think Knoxie solves that divide?

Or maybe you like Mudiay that much.

Fizz magic?

Appreciate the "who knows" stance - just not seeing it.

Remember this though - there can be pretty usable players on a poor NBA team.  Let's be careful who we kill.

Yes I have seen enough of Franky and Noah. If they can be jettisoned to give time and space to talented newbies another rebuild year would be palatable.

It looks like you are getting 1/2 your wish in Noah. If you are tired of seeing Frank, don’t watch the Knicks for the next dozen or so seasons. The growing bandwagon will quickly offer up someone to fill your seat.

Actually, hearing that right now FN is not even in the rotation.

YOUR best look at him, Fac, may be to get tix behind the NYK bench

Nothing you ever claim to hear turns out to be true.

But please elaborate more on how a bizarro super-crap Knicks team would be run so I can know more about exactly what we won’t see this season. Kanter at the PF? A big contribution from Noah? Ron Burgundy making the opening roster? What else?

Kanter has to play C now with the Noah decision.

And Knox could very well start at PF.  (I think I'd line it up that way now)

I did see one depth chart (CBS?) that had Frank starting at the 2, with Burke at the 1.

Many options for Fizz.  And lots of guesswork for fans and press.

That started when they traded Carmelo Anthony before last season, and it continued when they drafted two high-ceiling prospects in the first round of the NBA Draft: Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson. They’ll join Kristaps Porzingis (once he returns from injury) as the future of the Knicks franchise. One player who’s apparently not part of that “future” could be Courtney Lee. In an Instagram post designed to get fans excited for the “Future of New York,” the Knicks featured a mash-up of Porzingis, Knox, Robinson, Enes Kanter, Tim Hardaway Jr., Frank Ntilikina, Lance Thomas, Emmanuel Mudiay and Trey Burke. Noticeably absent is Lee, who led the Knicks in total minutes last season. Hmmm.
– via CBSSports.com

As Lee was scrolling through Instagram, he noticed the Knicks’ post and decided to chime in, saying “there I go” accompanied by a crying laughing emoji. Apparently Lee is taking this as a sign that he’s not long for New York, and that a trade could be in the works.

Hahaha

Chippo, I don’t look like any of those people, and I love the picks we made.

Here’s hoping for another great pick next year. 22 IT IS.

PS. The tank is kinda cool. Where you get it?
