I for one am very optomistic as jamal seems to realize his crossover can get him to the hole and he doesnt need to jack up 25 foot fadeaway threes all the time. Curry and Randolph can coexist! last game there was one offensive possesion where we pounded down low to curry. he got doubled and kicked it out. the ball was swung and put in the other end to randolph who had his man one on one. randolph took it to the hole and scored. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of that. Also, when lee/balkman/nate play the perimeter defense is much better. For how much people trash the defense, the fact remains that we are a strong rebounding team. If we limit offensive rebounds and second chance points, we will let up less points. Let's climb over .500 for the first time in what feels like forever tonight! the knicks did grow up, it’s not negative to say that…nate has matured greatly over the last year as we see by his excellent start to the year.

You just love to focus on Knick negativity but, and make it seem the thing was caused by IT and the knicks were the most at fault. You talk about Nate being forced to grow up but, what about the Pass you conveniently give Melo? Wasn't the real ugly part of this incident the way he (the only 1to throw a punch) sucker punched mardy? He was called (mardy) a goon and everything else but, the golden boy couldn't have been better shielded if eddie murphy arrived as the chosen one to protect him. You act like its weird or strange of Isiah to give non-commital answers. Why would he even acknowledge any of you is a miracle. Look at the attacks from near day 1. Its obvious your no fan so, why not give both sides of the issue. Let it be know that it was a hard foul but, we've seen harder without incident. Josh Smith is a malcontent but, if I didn't know better I'd think Nate and Marty were the instigators. Also, while you seem to enamored of George Karl, hows about mentioning the fact that he was running up the score trying to get even for his pal Larry (please give me another chance to ruin your young players) Brown.

If you'll recall, from post-melee to the late February win at home against Miami (which was the beginning of the injury onslaught that capsized the season), the Knicks went 20-17 and snuck into the last playoff spot. They had some quality wins too, beating Detroit, Utah, Miami twice and the Lakers twice. I haven't checked the schedule from last season, but there were probably some other good ones thrown in there.
