Paper Knicks?

In the four seasons since he's become a dominant player -- basically a 20-10 guy -- the Blazers failed to make the playoffs even once.

in those four seasons past who has he had on his team? miles, joel pryziziylalbla, other washed up stars, quentin woods, ruben patterson.... he never had anyone really good til roy came and now randolph is gone. how can you expect him to carry a team if they dont have a pg to set him up or people he can pass to when he was double or triple teamed.

you also have to think about the coaching upheavals and bad drafting that john nash did before getting canned...

If you think about it, we really do have a nice team on paper. But when you watch the Knicks play, you would think that we are holdin out on something. As a team, the Knicks need to do alot of things. But indivuals, they are really good.
 
Well that somes us up in a nutshell, lots and lots of potential, but just can't turn the corner to meeting that potential. We have a lot of talent, but even if we land Artest we are still not a lock for the playoffs. Can Isiah make this team want to win every game? Like the article states we had some great wins ( Mia twice, Sweeping LA, Cavs,etc.) but then losses to teams like Charlotte, Philly, Minn, etc. Ofcourse during the course of a 82 game season every team takes a couple of losses they shouldn't have ( 97 Bulls loss to the Nuggets that season) but the problem is the Knicks last season could win or lose to any given team in the league. So are we now a consitent winner.... I know we all hope so, but this team is young so we can't be that far...can we ?

The Knicks on Paper!

The Knicks Team-Stat-Sheet last season is something to hide when you recall how high the $Team Salary$ was last season.
The Knick Teams Players are going to have to want to play with their teammates to improve the Team-Stat-Sheet on offense\defense, because the Knicks Turnover percentage was to high, and the assist % was too low last season when the Knicks invested close to 50 million that season in just 3 Guards (Marbury, Francis, and Crawford) to control the Teams Turnover/Assist ratio.
