Knicks Better than Last Year

These dudes are playing really hard since the All-Star break. It’s gonna be hard to get cohesion with the newly aquired talent. They’re going to have to do this on the fly. This season has been a very intense one for the NYK but they’re going to be better for it. They should at least have confidence going into next season with the way they have played so far this season. Hopefully, the Marbury situation gets cleared up soon and that dark cloud will be lifted from the Garden.

This was a hard fought win on a night when the majority of the team just didn’t bring their A game and energy. Nate is really starting to come around since Duhon went down on the last West Coast swing before the break. He’s a very talented player and he shows that an aggressive attitude with his play. I knew D. Lee wasn’t going to make those free throws with a minute to go in a tight game. He also missed some clutch ones in the home game against the T-Dot. I won’t hate on him, that’s just not his stage. Can’t argue with his 20 double doubles. Garnett had 33 in the 2005-2006 season (check on the year i might be off). If Lee continues, that would really make this an impressive year for him.

Overall, I’m happy with the way these guys are playing so far. I’m looking forward to how this will go the closer to the end we get. Hopefully, Hughes gets his legs back and learns how to get his points within the flow of the system. It’s not fair that NY is judging him right now but, then again, you gotta be able to take it if you’re playing in the City. It’s’ up to him to prove the naysayers wrong. It looks like Wilcox should fit in nicely with the system. It would be nice to get some ruggedness into the offense.

As it stands, the transformation of the Knicks has taken place this season. It’s a welcome change from the past 8 years. The future is looking brighter…
