R.I.P. NYK

Today I'm writing the obit for the NY Knicks season, a season of ups and downs, high and lows of EPIC proportions.

The "Tall Three" not so much a "BIG 3" but a tall 3 of Melo, STAT and Chandler, there was a lot of Hype but this  was doomed to fail, with out a DOMINANAT facillitator the tall three ended up stepping on each others toes.  Even though Chandler wasn't a offensive player he and Amare took up the same space and it was working against the team.

LINSANITY,  feels like a dream, one that you remember but you're not sure if it happen.  JLin made all knick fans believe in Santa Cluse, his play was inspirational and needed just at the right time it was the a saving grace and looking back was a big reason the Knicks even made the play-offs.  Unfortunately JLin neve got to see any play-off action due to knee inury.

D'Antoni out, Woodson in.   I never felt it was appropriate to over coach one side of the ball, D'Antoni's offensive system was good but it lakced enough defensive authorirty,  the abiltiy to make stops costed the Knicks early in the season.

Woody's defensive mentality was what the Knicks needed but I fear that his "iso Melo" mentality can only go so far.  But I do like the fact that the Knicks can make stops.

Injury plagued, Shump, Davis, Amare, Jefferies, Melo, Lin, etc. etc, just a list of te walking wounded, Douglas even started the season recovering from a shoulder injury... health is sooo important I would of loved to see what this team could do Healthy.

Last getting out classed by the Heat, 4-1 is never good even if that 1 breaks a record play-off win draught.  Knicks must improve their seating next year, I felt with a Rose-less Bulls the Knicks had a shot at any team in the east except... the HEAT.  Like Jordans Bulls the Knicks may be playing for number 2 for a while, but keep you head up guys Heat can't stay Heathly for ever!

Even though the Knicks maybe heading for play-off purgatory for the next few years, with small improvements and proper drafting maybe we can build a winner for the future, father time is un-defeated and Like Ewings Knicks maybe we are just in the wrong era.  But stay vigillant and maybe we can steal one like Dirk did or like the Thunder get young and build the NEXT big unit.  Last time we held up the trophy was '73 last we were in the finals was '99 last time we won a series was ....well you know,  I've been waiting a while but I still have patience, just build it right!!

Go Knicks!!
