I always believed, and I always knew we had the ability to play together and win games. We definitely have talent, but "chemistry" is what gets a talented team over the hump. It has taken us longer than we would have liked, but this is obviously a building block for the Knicks, now they must remain consistent.
There is obviously a dark cloud in every silver lining, because it's interesting to see how everyone is prepared to throw Stephon under the bus. But how soon we forget that he was the catalyst in reviving the Knicks playoff hopes last year, before crucial injuries derailed that bid. Stephon doesn't always have the best attitude, but I never questioned his ability on the court, or his desire to "win". I'm glad the players are taking the high ground, and continuing to say the right things to the press. No need for a mutiny, or pettiness, in the midst of righting the ship.
And as far as Zach and Eddy not being compatible..... NONSENSE. Zach is one of the best passing bigs in the league. Their development was contingent on Eddy learning how to conform to the new offense, which I believe is more potent this season, and getting in "basketball" shape.
Every team has a weakness, but playing well "together" tends to mask those weaknesses. Again, I won't get too happy, or too upset about a victory/loss, but I could see us making a playoff run. Besides the Celts, no one has pulled away in the Atlantic. Consistency, health, and a little good luck will be the determining factors. Go Knicks!!!!!!!!!
