I called it before the seasson. You and Hoss told me I was wrong, and there is no need to have an opinion so early. They are a lock to make the playoffs, and even though they cant win anything, they are competitive and have a pulse.

As usual you are full of crap. Here is the conversation. We said no trends and no need to make a definitive opinion after two games. You also said the Heat are no worse than 67-15. Good luck with that one Nosssssssstradamus.

My early seassssssson strategy is the Nets and Knicks are both just a bit better then people think... Bet them when its right, lay off when its not.

I have to admit that they have started to pique my intrest. I actually watched the second half last night and thought that they were pretty entertaining. They do seem like they are on the improve (the next 15 games will tell alot as they start to get into the varsity part of the schedule), but they definitely need to get better defensively. It's a refreshing change as opposed to what has gone on with them in the past decade.

It's sad really. They have a dedicated fan base and the thread is proof of that.

How bad do you have to be as an owner if you can't put a team on the floor that can make the playoffs on a consistent basis?

Now the fans are reduced to excitement over a 14-9 record? That should be expected. Cablevision needs to GTFO.

Hopefully they get out of the hockey buisness as well.

Basketball is deader than dead. Terrible product. Terrible value. Dead.

The NBA is better off when big market teams like the Knicks are competitive. But before we jump the gun lets take a look at who they have beaten in their run.

Two wins vs. Toronto, who are 8-14
Minnesota, 5-17
New Orleans, the lone good team they have beat 14-7
New Jersey, 6-16
Detroit, 7-16

As Herk said, they have a pulse and are improved. But I want to see them beat the good teams also. Everyone beats up on the shi.tty teams.
