Milwaukee and Orlando will surprise many though.


Orlando maybe/probably; not sure about the Bucks.

What about the Pistons ?
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

FWIW he is right though. The sports gambling world has always been crazy, but it was compartmentalized.
These fans who make death threats etc against players because the fans bet didn't hit should be locked up immediately.


100%. Those scumbags slide into college kids DMs making threats too.


As much love as I have for Uconn and the college game, and as much as I know its a business there too, I can't imagine talking to a student athlete like that. Completely bat skit crazy.

Any team starting a former Knick (Timmy) and an aging Tobias Harris (sorry, Buzz) and a SF (Ausar) who hasn't broken 22.4% from three in 2 seasons, sounds (to put it mildly) a bit suspect. 8-)

And wasn't Beasley a suspect in a some point shaving buzz (no pun intended)?

I don't think they have anyone better than we do at any position.
JB>>>>>Cade
and even injured Mitch >>>> Duren.
Those are the closest two spots with Det having some talent.
And I'd expect KAT to vastly outscore Harris from the 4.
Mikal >>>> Timmy
and Hart''s WORST 3pt season was 30.4% vs Ausar's BEST 22.4%.

Too soon to grade the Coaching matchup.

This guy is a complete dick head.

Brooklyn's locker room is now led by him, DLo, and Cam Thomas. Might wanna clear some more room on the ship because this might be the last straw for some of the few remaining fans who are barely hanging on.

Yep. Getting this idiot out of their locker room was probably worth more than the pick they gave up

Yeah Hardway left, along with 2 other guys that gave us fits, Shroeder, and the degenerate gambler guy, theyll still be in the mixbut imo the gulf between us and them has widened.

I think we'll be the top team in the East. Im get that 93' Knicks feeling. The season we one 60 games, Starks "The dunk" and we just ha d talent and depth.

Return to New York Knicks
