    Knicks Will Finish 56-26 and Be the #2 Seed in the East In This Year's Playoffs

    I have seen all three games so far and the Knicks have that "chemistry". The sum of the parts they added and those they kept (like Mike Woodson and J.R. Smith) far outweigh what they lost (in Amare, D'Antoni and Jeremy Lin). They all play defense and hustle together....can shoot the three point shot....and actually pass the ball around and have good floor spacing.

    Basically some of the positive things we saw in spurts last season are now becoming "staples" of this team's identity.

    Melo....Tyson...J.R. Smith....Felton all back and playing well and to that you add Prigioni...Jason Kidd...Ronnie Brewer....and Rasheed Wallace? There is a lot of depth, experience and talent on this team.

    Oh yea....and Shumpert and Amare and Camby have still yet to play!

    The East outside of Miami and maybe Brooklyn and Boston is garbage. Knicks already b*tch slapped the Heat once too.....look out. 56 wins easy this year with this depth.

    not grossly overpaying for lin will prove to be the best move they made

    The Knicks starting 3-0 is just like the Lakers starting 0-3.

    Let's not overreact too much.

    true

    it's a nice start but 56-26 is a huge stretch. this team opened as a 4.5 point underdog to the 76ers, let's keep that in mind

    Not changing my stance on this....and I am not making this claim based solely on their record. I have watched them play....they remind me a lot of the 2010 Mavericks team.

    Knicks one of the oldest teams ever in the nba, maybe the oldest ever don't have the numbers.... 3 wins, OK, sure llock for 56 wins. Many flaws, age and a long season..... not going to end well.

    Where is the word "lock" used in this thread? Go get a job with TMZ if you want to make stuff up.

    We will see in April.

    Vegas line setters don't get games wrong from time to time? A lot of lines will be off this early in the season. What's the big deal.

    Knicks were severely capped wrongly at +4.5 against the 76er's tonight. Called it last night when the lines came out and it moved to +2.5 by game time. Let's see how long it takes Vegas to figure out how good this team really is. And whoever said a sprained ankle away from a bad season is a tard. Do you people even watch the games? Or just the eSPN highlights??? SMH.

    Wrong. They have still have J.R. Smith, Prognioni, Shumpert and Felton to help out. This team is too deep and rotates well enough that everyone stays fresh.

    If the Knicks end up winning 55+ you are wrong for doubting. What don't you get?

    No. But what the hell does that have to do with what I'm asking you?

    What can I be a HOMER of, if I'm wrong for doubting you? Simple question.
