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.

Yeah, but not only were they bad, they were so tough to root for. They were a bad team with a cast of malcontents, underachievers tabbed by the hated GM/coach who became public enemy #1. To make matters worse was he was a teflon Don, because the brain dead management loved him besides having no idea how to run an organization.
Finally there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. They are competitive with what seems like a hard working bunch and possess a legitimate superstar. We will see what they are made of during the next 15-20 games, but as of now it is a breath of fresh air as opposed to what has gone on here during the last decade.

this is a nice thread, but I prefer the one where you can talk about the signing of Jack Hanahan or the benching of Joey Graham, or high ankle sprains and you're still on topic.

On this topic...good for the Knickerbockers. They have yet to play another crappy team you can kick around.

They arent really good but they are playing well, winning close games and have some promising players. That is a whole lot more than we have gotten in a decade. Once the fat piece of ****'s contract is off the books, they will even have a little flexibility. It remains to be seen if D'Antonio's style can win deep into the playoffs (a title) and this team wont find that out but there is a pulse if that scumbag owner doesn't bring back his DADT boyfriend they will at least be interesting.
