Rookie
"That [eddy curry and Zach Randolph] combination alone would have made the Knicks contenders in the sad-sack East just about any other season, but it barely has rated them a mention since the Celtics shook up the conference by Garnett and Allen to their All-Star swingman Pierce this summer." - quote from ny post
tonight is the first game of what will be a great rivalry between the new york knickerbockers and the boston thunderstealers. the knicks need to destroy these guys.
the celtics have three veteran allstars and they also have some good young talent in rajon rondo, glen davis, and tony allen. eddie house and james posey will be asked to perform at a consistently high levels as major parts of their rotation.
the knicks have a much deeper team. this is what im hoping the roster will look like in november:
marbury, nate, mardy
crawford, fred jones, d nich
q rich, balkman, jared jeffries, wilson chandler
zach randolph, david lee, malik rose
eddy curry, randolph morris
but jerome james will prolly have d nich's spot so ... damn.
eddy curry and zach randolph in the post is good for 40 points and 19 rebounds. the knicks offense should score over 101 points per game. the starting 5 is stacked with offensive talent. david lee will help us get the 2nd chance points. we have an answer for everything. we have the dominating post game and we have the shooters. the 2nd unit could start in most NBA cities.
and the defense will get stops this year. isiah thomas is stressing defense. nate robinson is getting used to running fullcourt pressure through long stretches. fred jones is a great perimeter defender and hes gonna get major minutes. if he can knock down open shots he'll have a huge year with this offense. Balkman will return. Marbury was a much more active defender last year. Crawford gained 15 pounds so he cant get pushed around like he did last year. the knicks defense will be much improved.
i hope the beat them tonight and every other game by 20.
