“With a steady coach and even better talent throughout, there’s no reason why the Knicks cannot or should not become a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. With Derrick Rose expected to miss much of the season for the Bulls, a shakeup in the rankings is sure to occur.

This is New York’s time. The team has made vast improvements–from the roster to the coaching staff–and now there are no excuses for failure. With fans all around the Big Apple craving success, the Knicks now boast the best team on paper they’ve had in just about a decade.”

Keith makes a great point and full congratulations for nailing down the top spot at this outstanding blog.

For me, I really need to see the Knicks work in training camp, but I’m excited about this season. This team is better than last year, have added pieces (still need shooting from the guard position) and have focus and leadership. It all starts day 1 and for all intents and purposes there are no excuses as it relates to jelling or needing to get on the same page. They’ve got to get out and play hard and play for each other… no excuses.
