		<description><![CDATA[As a Knick fan, I have to salute your devotion to this team, but ultimately this site is about real analysis, not blind devotion. There is so much negativity on this site, because that is what is happening in the real world. 5 straight losing seasons, culminating in the worst season in 20 years. The GM has become the coach and is by the owner&#039;s decree on his last leg. The Knicks are currently and have been over the last few years, the laughing stock of the league by statheads and non-statheads alike.  

I know I won&#039;t convince you that this team is in shambles, and I know that you won&#039;t be able to convince us that this team will be exciting and competetive in 2007. So there is no point in continuing the discussion, at least until the season starts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like the part about the Knicks &quot;BENCH&quot; because that is where the Knicks SUCCESS lies in the 2006-7 Season. 
And yes&#039; I agree bigtime that Jefferies Defensive effort on court will be contagious to all the frontcourt players that even Curry will do his best to provide some defense in each game.  

The Knicks Roster is full enough to go BIG and small against some of the dominate teams in the league. 
The only problem one could see on this Knick roster is will Zeke &quot;PACIFY&quot; Steve Francis by letting him start along with Marbury.  

The Main objective for this Knicks Team success this season will be President/Coach Isiah Thomas playing each Knick Player according to their &quot;Strengths &amp; Skillz&quot; with their teammates. 
 
Steve Francis is a Natural PG. 
Jamal Crawford is a Natural Pure SG. 
Stephon Marbury is a Combo-Guard that can shine in both positions on offense.  

When you play Francis &amp; Crawford out of their Natural Position you will see alot of FLAWS in their game and skillz on the court.  

Marbury is a Player that like to FEEL-OUT his oponent at the Start of the game at the PG position. 
Crawford has become the same way but in the SG position.  
The Knicks 0-5 start and 23-59 season has alot to do with not Starting Marbury/Crawford Backcourt Tandem (When those two offensively could be unstoppable with a 7.0 Curry and 6.11 Frye in their lineup). 

So why Pacify Steve Francis when Francis have the oportunity to WIN the &quot;6th-Man of the Year Award&quot; on this Knick Roster to bring his Value-Up in showcasing for a team that will let him Start. To not mess up the Knicks Chemistry of Marbury/Crawford Backcourt to a crying Francis I would take my chances on Nate Robinson &amp; David Lee being the 6th-Man off the bench while Francis wear a suit to the game all season long.   

Look at the Spurs and the number-one underrated NBA Player of all time &quot;SG-Finley&quot; excepting the backseat to Bowen without a problem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knickknack - you got it brother. I am more amped about this season than any since Patrick left. The pressure is on and the players are positive. The energy is bound to be off the scale because the team will fight for IT since he made the deals to bring them to MSG. In a way it is the perfect scenario - all the stat wizards don&#039;t understand the Human element at work. Dolan did. Long live Dolan, long live Dolan...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KNICKNACK - Imagine if Washington, Jefferson, Franklin &amp; the rest of the Founding Fathers decided to support their King instead of ?hating? their government. If people only spoke positively, we?d never have progress. 

Knickerblogger &quot;hate&quot; is such a strong word for any comparison to basketball. This blog is like the DNC, complain, complain, complain. It&#039;s like &quot; Hey look, Isaih made a move today, let&#039;s watch it blow up. That&#039;s not what being a fan is all about. Let&#039;s talk about the line up flexibility we have in NY. We can go very small and fast, our we can go HUGE!!! I&#039;m very excited about this upcoming season. We have a lot of young players and yes we have some bums. Having a player like Jefferies is a good thing as defense can become contigous. 

Basketball as New Yorkers knew it has just gotten better. We now have one of the deepest benches in the league, but no one talks about that. We have players that have been proven scorers, and some the most atheletic players on the court. Do I believe we&#039;ll go deep in the play ofs this year? No, but I believe the games will be more fun to watch. 

I could bash Zeke, LB, and all the way back to Checkettes. But, what does that do to the entertainment factor of the game. All the ranting and raving has yet get anything done. 

Like our founding fathers we have a loyality to our own, to what we created. The knick fans &quot;ARE&quot; the NY Knicks. You can put anyone in a uniform, but the fans stay the same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Judging a player only by his stats is like determining a kids value by loking at his SOL scores. Zeke is right it is about CHEMISTRY. Are you old enough or did you watch film of the last Knick championship team? No super talents (maybe CLyde) but alot of guts and effeciency. I know Marbury is not Mr. Efficiency but he can be very inspirational &amp; exciting and a guy like JJ will respond to that kind of player. YOU WILL ALL BECOME BELIEVERS! Keep believing Kiya baby! We are going to the Promised Land!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jerome James will come into the 2006-7 season and give the Knicks the same type of strength &amp; Power under the boards as the Nets C-Collins give to the Nets Team.  

Would I rather have Jackie Butler than Jerome James? Yes! but! I would rather have Jerome James on my side in the Postseason games cuz he is no push over in the paint. 
Jerome James is Pure Ruff-Neck, and probably the best Tandem for Channing Frye in the frontcourt. 
The Knicks secret weapon Frontcourt players on Shaq, Big-Ben, Duncan, Yao, the Mavs, Nuggets, and Pistons would be: 
C-Jerome James 
PF-Frye
SF-Lee 
SG-Jalen]]></description>
