Take out a second mortgage, pawn your wedding ring, borrow money from your friends and family and put it on the under. Knicks lose Jack, Beasley, KOQ, and KP yet are somehow expected to win one more game than this season? Oh wait, I forgot about our big free agent signing. MARIO! MARIO! MARIO! Nevermind.
Fiz is on a 4 year deal and the best way to get an extension is to show steady increments of improvement. Front office has gone out of its way to say that this is a transition year, trotting out the same tired tanking excuses that "progress won't necessarily be measured in wins and losses."
At least last season Jeff gave a fuck. That's why 'starting point guard' Ramon sessions was benched after the second game. For all of you convinced that the three headed dragon of Burke, Mudiay, and Frank will win games, I ask- how'd those guys do at the end of last season when half the teams were tanking anyway and the Knicks had the advantage of a favourable schedule?
Banking on progress is a nice idea, but hey, how did the miracle worker do when gift wrapped a playoff ready roster in Memphis? About the same as the previous year, making me think that a big mouth, hot wife (who's incidentally a marketing guru) and a good story (rising from the depths of the video room) are more important than an actual record of improvement.
I'll make my final guess when the schedule is actually released, but if you think that when the Knicks are 8 games out of the 8th seed post all star game, they'll be rushing KP back to 32 minutes a game well hey, I got some magic beans if you want to trade a cow.
