Knicks · Itme to discuss expectations and predictions. (page 5)

Alright, so after all this analysis, maybe we push the Rangers to seven games and then lose to the Angels in the divisional game.

PreDickshuns threads are only slightly worse than hotstove baseball trade talks. Or fantasy lacrosse leagues. Or in-depth MLS analysis. Or hockey anything.

Are you serious or joking? I don't think your prediction is unreasonable but I did think I was the harshest poster here. I'm not going to change my 36-30 prediction but after seeing our backcourt, I think you may end up closer than I will.

Joking how? What do you mean? The way I talk?

Let me understand this, 'cause I dunno - maybe it's me - you mean like I'm a clown? I'm here to amuse you?

At least the second round of the playoffs with a 7 game battle. After that anything goes. I think a date to circle on the calendar is when they play Chicago. Good be a potenial playoff oponent just like the good'ol days.

I was not sure if you were serious or not, and after your reply, I am more confused.

Can you elaborate?

Granted its only three games less wins than mine but the .500 is below last year.

Post-trade they weren't above .500. The above .500 last year was from the Felton, Gallo, etc. crowd.

The way he wrote it - nothing other than the numbers - was why I thought he might be joking. I'm pretty sure he was serious, though, and his prediction isn't that far from mine and a few others'.

Smart money would be to deal Amare in 3 way for Howard...

But Dolan's an ass, so that'll never happen lols.

Melo + D12 =

The beauty of this offseason is that it has completely killed all those rumours about other players signing or being traded to us. CP3 has gone to the clippers, Deron Williams doesn't want to come here (we don't have any cap space anyways), and Dwight Howard no longer makes sense now that we have Chandler (why trade amar'e for Dwight Howard, when you already have so much money invested in a centre?!)- not having to deal with these constant trade rumours or saving cap space for the following offseason, is a beautiful, beautiful thing- finally we can focus on the team we have NOW instead of sacrifising season for possible future gains.

We'll never win a chip though and you know it lols.

How they let you come back on here after all the crap you pulled on here with everyone is hilarious.

Did RGM not ban you enough times?

Childs2Dudley @ 12/24/2011 1:24 PM
LOL @ boi.

I would still trade Amare for Dwight though. Chandler can play PF and we would be a defensive nightmare. But that isn't going to happen, ever. I'm glad we can start playing for keeps and don't have to have all those dicusiion about tanking for draft position.

The financial risk behind Amare's contract make him almost untradable.

People who think Amare is a trade asset do not understand this.

Game yesterday was right up to expectation.

Our defense in transition was not good. We blew a 17 pt lead to go down.

Our "Stars" did their job. Melo was great.

Told my son "Billy walker gonna get at least one offensive foul"......and he held up to my expectation. Dude mixed with Cocoa Puff! Redemption!

Fields I thought had some nice moments when things flowed. He played "in the game".

Great first half. Nice preview of what can be.

good come back in the second half. Team was flat but its stars picked them up and carried them.

Not the kind of ball that wins championships, but home team gave them a push and sometimes your just gonna win on talent alone.

Wins come in all shapes and sizes. Teams build character this way. W is a W!

I expected them to not win. They exceeded!

Another expectation is not to add a new "Fantasy" player everytime Rondo blows by one our boys or gets hurt.
Injuries are to be expected. If we need to add anyone it need be a player who can actually run in the system so I expect we should have someone in the Dleague that we can call up to fill in as needed.

And I expect Rondo to make most players in the league look just as bad. They kid is a Top PG in the league.

But we still won.......So I expect fans to keep making trade ideas and signings on the internet never-the-less!
