Greatest strength(s):
-Madison Square Garden (great, legendary arena with some great fans)  They’ve had SOME great  games/victories there!
-Mike D’Antoni’s offensive style(certainly evident in Preseason)
-Management should stick with certain players:
(David Lee, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler, Jamal Crawford, Chris Duhon, Quentin Richardson, Mardy Collins)
   1) Richardson had his best moments with D’Antoni in PHX
-They have potential!
-Still get a lot of attention (hey it’s NY and ESPN is there!)
-Donnie Walsh (once the cap is stable and flexible)
-Spike Lee (give him credit for sticking around)
 
Greatest weakness(es):
-DEFENSE
-Will the assists increase? (Last season: dead last)
-How will they clean up that salary cap? (the most expensive)
-Get rid of the Riff-Raff
 (in Steven A Smith’s voice):
  (Jared Jeffries, Zach Randolph, Eddy Curry, Jerome James, and STEPHON MARBURY)
-How will Zach Randolph & Eddy Curry play uptempo without roller skates?
-Getting their fans back to cheering instead of jeering!!

(With that said, the Knicks will be 4th in the Atlantic Division, 14th in the East.  Now it depends on their ATTITUDE– if positive they could move further up to 12th or 13th and perhaps get LeBron’s attention.  They could be last in the East if the attitude is “turrible”(Charles Barkley) )

(On a side note, the Sixers will be (3-1) against the Knicks.  They give up a lot of points.  One preseason game, Elton had 24 points (18pts in the 1st quarter).  That could be a small sample of the Knicks atrocious defense right there!!  The Sixers will outgun and run the Knicks’ bigs.  Reggie Evans does an outstanding job of bothering their frontcourt!!)
