Im sure you won't see it that way.......

St John's is looking awesome. Nurideen Lindsey is a stud. Follow them.

You can't play ball to get in shape, you have to get in shape to play ball - Kenny Smith
Take a few weeks, dust off that treadmill, put some air in the tires on that bike and then teach that bratty Playstation generation what a drop step, seal off means, old school...
or something like that.

Are those walk-ons actually going to be getting any burn this season? That 4:30am tryout was the feel good story of the bb season so far.

Hahaha! Hadn't thought of that. Good one.

I dont hate the team, I mean Amare and Melo are good players but neither defends, the roster has no quality size and our pipeline is garbage unless your going to sell me on Douglas, Shumpert and Fields being the next Bobby Jackson, Rondo and Rick Fox.This is a 45-50 win team build to lose in the first round to any team with size... and thats not changing anytime in the next couple years. Sorry, but we are looking at another first round sweep in a 4/5 matchup w Boston.
I honestly applaud guys like nixluva who see nothing but the silver lining but I dont anymore. The Melo trade killed it for me. At least with some young tough players, an athletic 7 footer and some nice young pieces (we were the 2nd or 3rd youngest team in the league) it was worth watching. Now we scrapped it all for Melo, a great scorer but a playoff loser who doesnt defend and improve teammates and 50 year old PG. Its not interesting. Im already a Yankee fan. I dont need to follow ANOTHER team of overpaid players with vastly inflated opinions of their games. Im good thanks.
Let them cancel the season. I hope they do. I just dont care. It would take something epic for me to start caring again.
I've always liked nixluva's optimism too. It's strange, last year after the Melo trade, I kind of lost a bit of interest in the team for the first time, which is weird- why did I follow the Knicks during the IT years, but saw my interest wane after the Melo trade? I still don't know, maybe it's because of going from the unpredictability of watching our young players develop and hoping they have a breakthrough game, to having seasoned players who you know what to expect from. Not quite as exciting. The gutting of the roster didn't help (most of our roster absolutely stinks!).
Still, his lockout has been harsh- I hate not having basketball- if, as it seems, this season is lost, then next game would be 18 months since the last one.

Sam Sealy got onto the team from the tryouts... he's played, but not much.
The other guy is worth watching is God'sgift Achiuwa. He's a Nigerain JuCo transfer, and his brother's name is God'swill.
St John's really took a hit with losing students to academic ineligibility, but Lindsey and God'sgift were great additions. If the rest had been eligible...
