I knew few of them, But it's time to hear from Knicks fan. There probably aren't any left in Sajha, but what the heck... Knicks 2006 10-21 is not a record that boasts a champion team. It is not a record that you would like to think of playing next game. But if you ask me if the Knicks has a chance to make the playoff, and even more important..a good future with the current roster, I'd say HELL YEAH!!! As far as the playoff chance is concern, that might be a little difficult. But considering the weak Eastern Conference and the fact that Knicks are only out of the top 8 spot by 3 games it doesn't seem impossible at all. One hard fact, Knicks haven't lost a single game in 2006 (3-0). Besides, Knicks don't have a reason to play for draft pick...they don't have any rights to first round draft (traded in Curry deal). As far as the future is concerned, they have a young and promising roster. Marbury is 28 and other promising starts are all less than 26. Curry, David Lee, Channing Frye, Crawford and Nate Robinson all make a young roster consisting of potential big names (Curry is already in that category). If coach Brown keeps playing these players, Knicks will be serious threat within 3 years. Who deserves the credit? Knicks scouts and then Isiah Thomas to some degree. Not one single player remains in this team that existed before Thomas era. It used to be least rebounding team with lowest free throw attempted, now this team attempts more free throws than any other team...play in the paint is the mantra with big guns roaming around always. Knicks record might suggest they are dreadful, but they are looking up. Brown and Marbury seem to have found harmony. Rookies are playing confident. Bottom line, if not this year then next year. Never had Knicks fans been so patient and there is a reason. Several actually: Frye, Lee, Curry and Robinson.
