A reason to believe

September

Naturally, there was a great deal of unabashed enthusiasm as I made the rounds this afternoon at Media Day.

Most of the players believe it’s going to be a better season.

We’ve heard it all before, I know. The organization is on a seven-season losing streak and is coming off a 23-win season. Knicks president Donnie Walsh only made a couple of minor roster changes.

So why should anyone believe?

“The one thing Iâ€™m looking forward to is kind of having a plan going in,” David Lee said. “Weâ€™ve had times in years past where weâ€™ve thrown the ball inside every time down, times where weâ€™ve shot a lot of 3s. It seems like from game to game weâ€™ve done different things. At least this year, weâ€™re going to have a set way to play. Whether we can execute every night is a different story, but I think weâ€™re going to go in with a plan and thatâ€™s a positive.”

Somebody give that guy a raise. Back with more later.
