Its amazing you found a Knicks preview thats actually giving them a fresh start.
This is gonna be a fun team to root for even if they struggle a little in the beginning. I like watching my teams grow together and not rely on what media dubs as superstars to win all the games.
Exactly, a team we can root for, a team of guys with potential to become something better. With the exception of amare, because he's already awesome. A team full of guys who can bloom into all-stars. Maybe not this year but down the line. More importantly, with the exception of curry, everyone has the desire to prove self.
As the guy below says:
You know what the best outlook for our season is?
WE NO LONGER HAVE ANY CHEMISTRY PROBLEMS!
We had Stephon "Team Cancer" Marbury who started feuds first with Larry Brown and then with Isiah
After that we had Al Harrington and Larry Hughes whining about playing time and coach's rotation. Not to mention Chris "party all night" Duhon and Nate "I'm OK with being a scrub as long as I win dunk contests" Robinson...
But NOW, all of our players are high-energy players. Never has any of our players been accused of not pulling their weight. Never has any of our players been accused of being a team cancer or detrimental to chemistry in the locker room (with the exception of MAYBE Amar'e, but even that wasn't anything near as bad as what Marbury did to our team).
All of our players are players who are well-liked around the league by former GMs because of their work ethic and their intangibles. We're no longer fielding a team of misfits that couldn't care less about the team record.
That in itself is going to take our team to a place it hasn't been in a long time.
High energy, young, good work ethic and want to prove theselves.This team has promise. Although mostly because the players are unknown to us as fans, but they all seem so far excited to play for the knicks. Team captain amare has a great work ethic, and is leading by example, that sort of attitude is contagious, especially when the young guys on the team, want it. They are not established stars content making millions. They want to be stars and can be if they follow amare's example!
A key for us fans to remember, is to root for the development of our guys. Win/lose if they put up a hell of a fight against the playoff teams like lakers, dallas, boston, magic, chicago and especially the hated Heat.
These are games this team is suppose to lose. SO when we lose to them, we should shrugg it off. When we win, cheer our f'n balls off.
