Their 4th quarter comeback last night was very very impressive
if those guys maintain their defensive intensity, watch out for the knicks. They had 4 guys with 20+ points...WOW! Curry was good in the 4th, Randoph almost had a 20 point/20 rebound game, Crawford and Marbury of course did their thing and scored 20.
Marbury looks like dude's on a mission to revive his career and prove his critics wrong
Nate Robinson looks like he's a reliable and solid backup guard who could give you an all out effort on both ends of the court for 20-25 minutes a game.
Jamal Crawford of course has been clutch and has been coming up with big buckets.
David Lee isn't quite rebounding as well as he used to...mainly because of more playing time for Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph. I'm sure Lee will be fine.
Curry and Randolph are doing well so far. Even tho their defense kinda sucks, they are somehow finding a way to keep their team in the game and are making critical plays.
Balkman looked impressive last night and he was all over Carmelo Anthony and his energy rubbed off on everyone on the court.
I picked this team to be the 7th seed in the playoffs all along. But if they beat good opponents like this at home and play well on the road they could either be the 6th or even the 5th seed in the wide open Eastern conference.
Miami and Chicago are struggling right now, so this is the Knicks chance to pull away and cement their playoff spot in the East.

I'm a Denver fan and that move by Star-bury yesterday (I know he didn't do it intentional) was iffy like Steve Nash sticking his foot out on Raymond Felton.
I'll tell it like this. Since 1999 The East is nothing like the West. The West has at least 6 core teams to beat every year. While the East has only 3 on average.
In other words anything can happend. The Big 3 from Boston, can get injured and their goes the Me Lucky Charms.
The Piston's could face injury's. Their goes Motown!!
The Bulls always start out weak and up winning 45 to 47 games. Injury's occur!
Basically I can go on and on about the East.
Right now the Best 5 teams for the East are (in my opinion) for season finish are
Boston
Bulls
Pistons
Nets
?
The Knicks made a good transaction moving in Big Zack but Curry and Zack are the same type. It's not like Camby and Martin. 2 different types.
Get what I'm saying.
Don't want to say the Knicks can't make the playoffs b/c their were some big transaction's last year. So it is what is!!!! Get Me

The Knicks have been through some tough times lately. They've not had any decent showing in the last couple of years. So, I think there's no other way for them go but up; to improve on their record.The NBA's most expensive franchise has put together some key ingredients this year that may produce better results compared to last year. Now, if they'll make it to the playoffs is another matter. They need to up their game some more. The game versus Denver could be a starting point.

The Knicks were having a decent year last season (by Eastern Conference standards anyway) before being derailed by injuries. They can score, no doubt about that, but the question is how they'll react to Isiah Thomas and the harassment lawsuit.
But the Garden's been selling out, New Yorkers seem to be cheering them on again...at least a little...and they might play with a kind of a chip on their shoulder since everyone thinks the team is a circus. It is a circus, but that was supposed to stay quiet.

Knicks are a bunch of thugs! They have more tattooes between them than Brittany Spears.
Knicks always lose at the end of the season. They might win a few games but you know the long losing streak is due.
Great players, great coach, lack of owner management. Knicks should package a bunch of their above average players for a really good player like Kobe Bryant.

Whoever thinks that the Knicks won't make it to the playoffs are haters. The Knicks will make it to the playoffs and they'll have a nice 7th or 8th spot.

I think the Knicks are going to be pretty bad a again this season. Many sports writers picked them to finish next to last in the East.
