on this website everyone can see how a good post should look like….

Flat screen TV is one of the most popular and exciting TV technologies today. At only a few inches thick, flat screen TVs offer unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

Obviously. The point is just that opinions can change, and should change if performances improve. 6 wins in a row is a marked improvement over the first 28 games, where we could hardly even string 2 wins together.

Yeah, that’s 6 rings, not 6 games. A bit of a difference.

Plus Isiah’s an easy target, the Knicks are an easy target, but I think we all know that it’s not easy to improve your roster in this day and age of the salary cap.

How joyless and boring it must be to be constantly negative about a team – why watch and why care if you’re going to be that way? If you can’t enjoy a 6-win streak after a bleak start to the season then why sit in front of a computer typing out your negative thoughts? Maybe you should get out of the basement a little more – maybe you need to live a little!

If you don’t respect the other people, then you shouldn’t be posting here.

“Pick any NBA message board and we?ll take what I?ve said about Isiah and the Knicks, post it, and see what the response is. ”

That would be a good idea. You’ve hijacked enough of KB.Net threads into Kareem vs. everyone. If you have something to say that is going to diverge greatly from what the main topics, you should go to a message board instead.

because of the new collective bargaining agreement, this is the first year that high school players can’t declare, so you’re losing a half a dozen players right there. secondly, tons and tons of guys who weren’t sure what the age limit was going to end up being in the new CBA declared to for the draft last year, which stocked the draft so deep that it allowed NYK to nab a good player like David Lee at the end of the first round.

those two forces have left the ’06 draft really bare. the pick that was sent to chicago won’t yield a really good player, so it was a good move to deal it for a 22-year-old widebody who, as LB said yesterday, is so gifted in the low post that he scores “by accident.”

as far as swapping the ’07 pick, the knicks are going to be better than chicago next year because LB is a winning coach. he’s got nine previous stops before NYK, and he’s 9-for-9. meanwhile, chicago sucks, flat out.

that said, NYK’s San Antonio pick in the ’06 draft will likely be useless, the best being some 21-year-old role player (of which they have plenty of and don’t need another.)

remember, half the knicks active roster is 23 or younger. it’s not clear what adding another rookie is going to do to help them.

i just watched a rerun of Game 7 of the 1994 Eastern Conf championship, NYK vs. Indiana. The Pacers were coached by Larry Brown, and their rotation consisted of McKey, Smits, ADavis, DDavis, Miller, Vern Fleming, Byron Scott, Haywood Workman, and some other guys I can’t remember. They were physically and mentally tough, played hard, played smart, and came within a Miller jumpshot of beating a darn good Knicks team in MSG in a Game 7. None of those guys — no, not Miller, and I’m not listening to any arguments in his favor — was a superstar. It was a bunch of role players who were really well coached. Check out all of LB’s teams. None of them have a ton of Hall of Famers. The Sixers: Iverson and role players. The Pistons: castoffs from other teams who were taught how to play together. It goes on down throughout his career.

The Knicks roster is not perfect, but the last thing they need now is to start moving guys around, wheeling and dealing, turning the roster upside down again. What they need is stability, patience, and a tweak here or there.

I know I suggested in this forum several weeks ago that an overhaul was necessary, but I’m now convinced that LB has taught Steph how to be a winning player, and re-watching that old Pacers team has reminded me about how much chemistry and role players matter over a sexy roster. It’s useful also to recall the 2004 Finals.

In five years, Frye and Curry are going to be extremely difficult to deal with, David Lee is going to be playing the Charles Oakley role coming off the bench, and Nate Robinson will be a savvy x-factor guy who can change the momentum of a playoff series. Championship teams are won by veterans who have been through wars together. It takes time to build that.

It’s going to be OK. It’s just not going to be OK RIGHT NOW! Only one team is going to win the title this year, and it ain’t going to be NYK. And that’s OK.

I think it might be useful at this stage to have a dialogue about the upcoming trade deadline, and any moves NYK might want make. It seems like adding a veteran PG might be nice right around now! Meanwhile, David Lee is not the permanent solution at SF — he’s a PF — so that could be something that gets addressed. Unless Qyntel Woods steps up. It’s not inconceivable that he could be an impact player — remember, Starks and Mason came via the CBA. To understand what kind of talent Woods has, link here http://nbadraft.net/profiles/qyntelwoods.htm. He slipped in the draft because he appeared to be a head case, which turned out to be true. But, a head case at 19 can be a mature young man at 24.
