A good read and an encouraging teaser to the upcoming season.
Here are some of my favourite snippets.
Awesome.
Wonder how that'll work? Who'll guard the 2? With Stat, Mozfgov and Felton rounding out the 5, we'll have an average height of about 6'7". Unheard of.
If Stat adds a reliable passing game, we're dangerous. 5th seed dangerous.
And still, we're ridiculed under the "No D in D'antoni" & "SSOL = LOSS" debacle. The power of the common opinion is ridiculous.
Alvin Gentry showed what a deep bench can do under a similar ideal. This will, IMO, be the base of our success this year. It's going to be intriguing to see Chandler, TD23, Mozgov, Azubuike, Mason Jr. Ewing Jr. and Walker duel for minutes. The hard worker will prevail.
Really looking forward to seeing what P.E Jr is going to bring. With him on the court with; Mozgov, AR, Felton & Stat, we can boast one of the NBA's most athletic teams. Certainly our most athletic since '99.

"Our coaches, 10 or 15 times, are going, 'Did you see that?' You're talking about some of the best athletes in the world," Mr. D'Antoni said of this year's team. "That's the difference. There's going to be some athletic plays in The Garden that we haven't seen for a while."
Awesome.
Danilo Gallinari who Mr. D'Antoni said will shoot more three-pointers and could pair up with Mr. Randolph as a very tall shooting guard-small forward combination.

Mr. Randolph said earlier this month that his work with Mr. Felton and Mr. Stoudemire on the pick-and-roll will add a new dimension to the offense. Mr. Randolph also said Mr. Felton looks comfortable running the offense.
If Stat adds a reliable passing game, we're dangerous. 5th seed dangerous.
Mr. D'Antoni has stressed defense this season with the additions as well. Where did the team get better on defense, according to him? "Go ahead and pick a position," Mr. D'Antoni deadpanned.
And still, we're ridiculed under the "No D in D'antoni" & "SSOL = LOSS" debacle. The power of the common opinion is ridiculous.
Ten players in total were added, all to Mr. D'Antoni's liking. He has new luxuries?he said he may even have to change his philosophy of regularly playing as few as eight players and expand his rotations to as many as 11.
