    or maybe the Knicks were one of the most injury proned teams during the reg season and playoffs, but no one wants to bring that point up

    The Knicks did get better....Kidd,Felton>>>Bibby, Baron Davis minus Toney Douglas

    Camby is an excellent back-up for Chandlier.

    Kurt Thomas=Juwan Howard...provides veteran locker room leadership lol

    The Knicks are bad relevant tho.
    Bad relevant being that people talk about your team but you've accomplished nothing in the longest time.
    Ya'll need to become good relevant like the Spurs, and other serviceable teams that can put together a winning season.

    Boston should be 4th right now

    For the ? that gave me a wack, why shouldnt the Celtics be 4th, Spurs didnt do ? to improve there team, all they did was get older and Parker has a ? up eye now, C's had a good draft, great free agent pickups, a good trade and we got Green and Wilcox coming back, this team is as deep and as strong as they have looked since 08, not only that we were 1 game away from the finals and gave the Heat a run for there money (in reality we should of won) and Spurs lost the the thunder who couldnt keep up with the Heat in the finals, Lakers had the best off season so they should be 3rd but C's should be 4th, and Clippers arent in that conversation yet thats probably the dumbest ranking on there

    IMO Lakers still haven't found a way to guard the Thunder on the perimeter. And still don't know who the Nash/Kobe/ Howard thing will work. IMO Thunder will still come out of the East. As far as the Nets go. They're vastly overhyped and will get exposed. Even more hyped than the Knicks IMO.

    ^^^Bro the Nets are an overratted team who have no defensive identity. They don't scare anybody in the East. I didn't say they were bad. Stop drinking your owner's koolaid your not close to wining a championship.

    Surprised the hornets are that low they have a squad that could shock a whole lot of people & how is Houston not ranked @ the very bottom they have no legit scorer, Kevin Martin is likely gone by February, & they literally went for broke in the off season & ended up with nobody!!!
