which means that the Knicks better get something out of Amar'e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani -- as well as Metta World Peace and a full-strength Iman Shumpert -- to keep up.

What a moron. Why wouldn't they "get something" out of all four of them? As of right now, they're all healthy.

That's like saying "Well, the Pacers BETTER get something out of Scola, Copeland, Granger, and Stephenson...."

As usual, Knicks will have to exceed the "analysts" expectations.

Other than last season, when have the Knicks ever "exceeded" anyone's expectations. The franchise is known for under achievement.

No they aren't. They're known for having terrible rosters. The 00's were f-cking horrendous rosters.....

"Except for last year" lol...well isn't that the year that matters since it's basically same core roster, same coaching staff, except the roster is now younger, healthier, and (in theory) better with their moves?

There have been 4 "super" teams

2003 Lakers with Payton and Malone who made the Finals
2008 Celtics who won it all
2010 Heat who made the Finals

All had great regular seasons.

Why would you compare them to the one that failed who:
a. Had an unhappy an injured Howard
b. Had no depth after they top 4
c. Had a broken down Nash, Kobe and Pau
d. Had an egomaniac in Kobe who drove Dwight away and hurt his team when on the court with inefficient scoring and terrible D
?

Agreed. This year's Nets = Last years Lakers. I think they'll be better than the Lakers, but the chances of semi-disaster are right there. WITH a rookie head coach.

You're delusional if you think you're gonna get anything out of Amare or Bargs.
