I grew up watching the 90's Knicks. Every year you knew they would be good and they probably should have won at least 2 titles. I still hate Michael Jordan to this day and i loved Starks but he picked the wrong day to go 2-18. Then we all had to suffer through the Isiah era. Now we finally have the pieces and coaching to win a title. Its time for the Knicks to have their moment
easy fella!
Its been so long since Knicks were good we (fans) have no idea what to do with ourselves.
We have all the things that create a perfect storm for such a scenario
chemistry
a couple guys having career years
fresh legs in the queue (Shump/Amare)
depth
defense
size
homecourt advantage that means something
We are a little unathletic with certain line ups and its hurt us at times but we definatly have a system that challenge the elite. It all comes down to the playoffs
One gene that the '12 Knicks share with the '94 Knicks is the 4th quarter lockdown. No lead is too big, and they put the clamps down hard on D, and focus extra hard on O.
Can't say they'll go all the way this year, it's still too early. But I do like the signs.
i didnt say it would i said it could if things go right. we have two important pieces that will come back also camby at some point. our depth will get even better
Knicks need another piece.
Knicks are like the old Cavaliers team with Lebron. One great player with a bunch of role players.

The difference, we have several leaders, and championship talent..labron was the only leader and no one on the team had any real experience

so were those guys that the cavs had except we have better role players much better
lets just do this.. give it to the allstar break.. there are several good teams out there.. lets see where we all stand by the allstar break and a little beyond.. It is good to be 16-5 now for sure, but lets not hit the gas so quick yet....
Don't know if the Knicks will win a ship. However for the first time in a long time (prolly since the 94 team)....feels like the Knicks have a chance to win every game they play. There have even been laugher wins this year......in the recent past it seemed that every win was a struggle. Just something different about this team. They appear to enjoy being on the court together. We shall see how things go when they struggle and if they overcome obstacles.

i never proclaimed us champions i just said we have the pieces and vetrans to do it. also we match up well with miami now
The best comparison for this Knicks team really is the Mavs team that beat the Heat. But when STAT comes back we're better than that team.

never said you did that irish... just this being our year may be a bit premature.. there are a few other teams that have legit claims to that as well.. lets just keep playing well and we will know if this is our year.. I guess I am not wanting to jinx things.. haha..
