I agree that people overreact to losses this early. But ther is cause for concern. Our lack of depth, injuries, and our top guys are getting owned by scrubs

See this is the ish that get's me angry. We weren't wrong last year! So why act like this team has failed to live up to expectations every single time??? Even before the trade the team was not a failure. If not for all the drama of possible trades last years team likely would've had an even better record before the trade. A few years back MDA had the team playing decent before the trade of Zach and Jamal. There have been times where this team has performed and yet there has been nothing but change. I read that MDA has had 65 different players. That is unheard of. Never happened before.

As for yet another poor start don't you think it would've made a difference if we had a normal preseason where the team had more time to get it together? That not being the case teams with lots of new players like the Knicks have to figure it out on the fly. Most analysts figured the Knicks would start off struggling and then get it together so why are all the doubters coming out acting like this is some shock. There were bound to be struggles with no PG. We all knew TD was gonna have struggles as would Melo trying to learn a new role.

Just to be clear the team you are referencing to show D'Antoni was a good coach with the Knicks played 11 games together and was 6-5? Also, do you consider that D'Antoni was 61-103 and there wasn't significant player turnover in regards to his rotation for about 130 games during that two year span. Have you watched the four guys not moving or cutting on offense the past two games. The Knicks are supposed to have an offensive genius running things. I know there is a point guard deficit but how do you explain no movement. Also, I can't disregard 61-103 as a roster problem when I saw the rotations, witnessed the drama and lack of preperation for opponents. Not having your ideal roster doesn't mean you don't try. Not having top ten guys on your roster doesn't mean you treat your job like you don't give a sh@t.

I'm not a D'Antoni fan but please stop bringing up his record in his first 2 years...no coach would win with the rosters we had in those 2 years.

People are forgetting how bad the Heat were in the first half of last year. There were tons of people calling the big 3 a failure, and they ultimately made it to the finals.

The first few games have not been pretty but we do have 63 more to make this work.
