Just one more reasons for Knick fans to dislike Reggie.
Miller is speaking the truth. This team on paper is a dream team. If any of you have NBA Live 06 make trades to put this team together and see what your rating is. I know that's just a game but my point is there is more than enough talent here and these guys should be playing much better then they are. NY is the b-ball mecca and not to mention the financial capital of the world. NY must have the best sports teams or at the very least teams that compete. An 8 game losing streak should never EVER happen, even if they are playing the Spurs, Suns, Celtics and Pistons back to back to back. Not to be a downer but I don't think this team is capable of ever winning a championship. They will have ups and downs, may be even make the play offs but they won't make it over that hump until they make some trades. Like I said a team can never give up for multiple games.
Both you guys make good point. A team without defense, a team without a true team orientated offense, just won't make it in the playoffs. They are a bubble team at best, may make playoffs may not. They May get 1st round upset, but most likely will falter in second round.DonChris is speakin datruth this time, this team will never win a championship. They could be a team that can make it to the 2nd round, maybe even 3rd(not this year). You need an intimidator or a low post defensive presence to win a championship. They do have way too much talent to be losing 8 games in a row.
As for Reggie Miller, his comments dont bother me. Dont get it twisted, I dont like him. I got respect for him as a player but I dont like him. I dislike Michael Jordan even more.
Like your ideas, turning to a more defensive team, but i don't think the trades will float. Wilson chandler and marbury for bibby and artest? marbury makes more than the both of them combined. Which is why they want to ditch artest and bibby for salary reasons. Marbury doesn't help them there and he has hurt his trade value with bad play and off court stuff. wilson chandler isn't a great player. He's a rookie who gets practically no time. He's unproven.Foget Reggie and all of that media BS....I ain't a genius but FOUR realistic moves and the knicks are back on track.
1- replace "coach" zeke with jeff van gundy
2- trade Curry, Malik and jones for Jermane O - JO needs to go and in return they re gettin a young cheaper center and two expiring contracts.
3- trade Zebo for Ben Wallace (bulls need inside scoring without sacrficing rebounding )
4- trade Marbury & wilson for Bibby & Artest - Sac would jump on this trade in a heart beat, plus Artest got one foot out the door already!!
Knick starting five
bibby
Q Rich
Artest
Jermine
Ben Wallace
Reserves
Crawford
David lee

now tell me this is not a championship team????
opinions welcome
Who cares what he said. All I gotta say is that he is a joke at analyzing, and he must still take it personally when they lost to the league-wide joke in the Conference Finals. back in 99. Looks like the rivalry still continues.
i like the team we have... i'd make no changes... i think we are starting to play better... we have started to do the little things ... we will be contending by the end of the year...
I hope you are being sarcastic. top 4 or 5 teams do not lose by 48 points. Sure they have bad games, but they lose by 20-30 not 40. No changes I don't see anyplayers last night i'd keep.i agree... reggie has no clue.... we are one of the top 4 or 5 teams in the league....
