		<description>In all honesty,

So many writers are underestimating the Knicks this year.  The Knicks have Harrington, who thrived in D&#039;Antoni&#039;s system last year, a quality floor general in Duhon, a rebounding machine in Lee, an energetic shot of life in Sixth Man Nate Robinson - all which was mentioned above.  However, what people keep overlooking is Wilson Chandler, one of Isiah&#039;s few gifts.  Chandler is only 22 and entering his third NBA season, second as a starter.  His athletic gifts are undeniable and after a season of starting under his belt and an offseason of working on his shot, you can expect a significant increase in production from him.  Then there&#039;s Gallinari, who at 6&#039;10 is a capable perimeter defender with a silky shot that will be easy to get over smaller defenders when D&#039;Antoni play&#039;s him at the 2.  His ball handling skills and heady play will help win games as well.  Add in the interior d boost with Darko and Jordan Hill, a weakness of last year&#039;s team, and the perimeter defense provided by Tony Douglas, this is a team that could very well scrap out .500 or close to it ball.</description>

		<description>BT

How am I wasting my time?  I don&#039;t know about you, but it took me less than 2 minutes to read this article, and it was pouring the hate on the Knicks so I rather enjoyed the 2 minutes, they were well spent.

Shit, you probably spent more time thinking of your clever response than I did typing all of my shit, reading this shit, taking a shit, and then driving to work (1 hour).  Next time come with some stronger hate than &quot;I hope you get hurt by wolves&quot;.  What the fuck kind of dis is that?  My 2 year old brings tougher shit than that &quot;Daddy, you stink&quot;.  She could probably read this article quicker than you too.

I don&#039;t even live in Toronto fool, I live in Detroit.  You might as well wish I get caught in a hit and run, drive by, car jacking, or another random act of violence that seems to be common in this wonderful country.</description>

		<description>the knicks suck. and until they get rid of mike d&#039;antoni as coach, they are always going to suck. 

who cares that their draft pick goes to utah? i say this because they wasted their draft pick last year on an italian bum! that draft selection shows that the knicks management have already given d&#039;antoni too much power. danilo gallinari as an 8th pick?!!? lottery material?!!? I DONT THINK SO

here is why mike d&#039;antoni sucks and why the knicks will suck:

* No emphasis on defense. the knicks gave up more than 120pts more than any other team in the nba last year. they cannot defend the pick-n-roll. 

* He plays everyone out of position. his lineups are always too small. no height, no size and this leads to multiple mismatches for the opposition.

* He plays his starters too many minutes. he doesnt use his bench. he plays an 8 man rotation all year. that is just bad coaching. 8 man rotation cannot get thru an 82 game schedule. why wouldnt you use your bench more in a game 2 of a back-to-back? or a 4th game in 5 nights?

his coaching is just terrible. and thats why phoenix had NO problem letting him go. they werent fooled by the fast break. they knew their coach sucked. and he gases his players and plays favorites with them. he is just a poor selection for a coach. he should just be an offensive coordinator --- but i&#039;m even skeptical he can handle that. 7 seconds or less is NOT a system. 

so...
for the knicks, their 2009-2010 preview doesnt even matter. as long as mike d&#039;antoni is the sideline coach (and given so much say on draft picks) the knicks are going to suck and struggle to win 37games

		<description>If anyone wants to consider training camp as meaningful, Jarred Jefferies may carve out a spot as a starter that will lead to his trade.  We know he can defend, and handle the ball, and block some shots, but if he can really spot up and shoot the 3 as he has been doing for the first weeks of camp, he will and should start.
Duhon, Chandler, Harrington, Lee, Jefferies, except now Jefferies can spot up.  A good defensive unit(not great, they will obviously get killed by good 5&#039;s), and a very good offensive unit with the Duhon Lee pick and roll followed by Harrinton and Chandler, and Jefferies doing his Bruce Bowen impression!
A Bench of Douglas, Robinson, Hughes, Gallinari and Darko,(Gallinari, Hill and Darko up front) is a nice 2nd unit.
This is a weird year b/c there are no guarentees with Phila, Toronto, NJ.  Even Chicago, Wash are not sure things..  EVen Miami.  IF the uptempo style gets going, and the avoid a few stupid 4th quarters they had last year, I could easily see 45 wins.

And at the trade deadline, a Jefferies and Hill and a 2012 #1 for Rubio and Brian Cardinal trade gets the knicks the point guard and the cap space they want while Mini gets another nice future big, a stable player in JJ, and a #1 to keep building around.</description>
