And now Deep Thoughts...with Jack Handy

C'mon Egg. Pretty underrated and deepest bench? Really?

 

That's a decent offensive team, but there isn't a one of them that plays
a lick of defense. Add to that being maybe the most selfish team ever
assembled (which goes to your hoodlum point) and I hold the same thought
about the Knicks I always do: about a .500 team, makes a huge
(money-wise) trade at the deadline to try and make said postseason, and
just barely miss the playoffs when all is said and done.

 

As far as the Knicks bench - I love David Lee - kills the Celtics, but
he's really about all their bench really is other than even MORE
overpaid, overhyped offense-first guys.  The draft class? I don't see
anything that pops out at me as instant impact (same as our draft class
with the Cs).

 

Just like the Celtics they have to defend to win and I see the Cs with
Garnett and Posey (and Rondo and Perk) MUCH more positioned to do that
then the Knicks.

 

Sorry to disagree, but they're rated just about where they deserve to be
- middle of the pack and their bench is the same as every other team - a
couple of unknown rooks, a couple stiffs, and a couple of okays.

 

-------------------------------------------

That said, the Knicks and their $89 mill payroll are actually a pretty 

underrated team with a starting lineup of Randolph, Curry, Marbury, 

Crawford, and Richardson, and the deepest bench in the East.    If they 

weren't such hoodlums, the team would likely be ranked a lot higher. 

Isiah recognizes talent; he just doesn't understand "character."
