Let’s face it,the Knicks have had a crazy season, filled
with ups and downs, and currently a mixture of both. Under Woodson, they’ve performed
extremely well, and some even question whether or not they performed poorly to
just get D’antoni to leave, which is questionable. But the change in overall team
morale and team work can be seen by anyone. Even with tonight’s loss, the Knicks
have been great lately. But can they keep doing it? Amare is expecting to be
out for at least 2-4 weeks with a bulging disc in his back(ouch),and Lin
underwent knee surgery yesterday and will be out for the season.
Even though Carmelo is playing, he agitated groin again, which
he now admits is strained. The Knicks are .500 on the season and need to keep
playing the way they have. But will ‘Melo be able to put the team on his back?
Or fall under pressure? We got a glimpse of what the team is like tonight, up
against a decent team, and Melo stepped up to the challenge with 39pts. I just
hope that all of the hard work and hardships the Knicks have been through this
season don’t go to a waste. I think they can make a decent run in the playoffs,
considering if they are able to hold on to that 8th place spot!
The Knicks will be lucky to make the playoffs. And if they do make the playoffs they better switch their game up quickly and become consistent because Chicago or Miami will demolish them if they don't.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The Knicks are just too inconsistent and have too much going on, good and bad, to do anythign in the playoffs if they do make it.
DeleteThey have very little chance of beating either of the top two or three seeds in Miami, Chicago and Orlando, and they won't get any higher than the 6th seed so they'll be playing one of them for sure!
They definitely have pieces in place to be a powerhouse, but what also is going to be tested, if not this year but next, is the leadership of Carmelo Anthony.
If he is going to remain a superstar, he has to LEAD his team on and off the court, and they have to WIN!
Anyone think Calipari will be the Knicks coach next season?
ReplyDeleteIf he gets caught cheating again, which is always a serious possibility with him, then he could!
