No, they just aren't as good as some people were hoping. It turns out projecting totally unexpected improvements outward doesn't usually work.

Doltos: Dec 28, 2005; 🤌🤌🤌

Knicks finished last season really strong but died so horribly in the playoffs that I don't know who thought they were a legitimate competitor this year. The Fournier signing was awful but there wasn't much available in the way of picks or free agents to boost the roster.

the other factor is that it might be fatigue/tired legs from playing three seasons with relatively little downtime

They should be better than they have been though even just if they were getting the same kind of production as they did last year. They shouldn't be this bad.

Lockback: Sep 3, 2006; All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.

Knicks aren't even that bad, the East is just pretty good and there's a glut of teams right around .500, including the Knicks. Vegas had em as 41.5 and thats basically right on the pace they're at.

# ? Dec 5, 2021 03:23

Doltos: Dec 28, 2005; 🤌🤌🤌

I'd say being sub .500 isn't Pretty Good and treading water is exactly where Knicks fans didn't want to be considering we've been doing that for 25 years

DeRozan became my favorite Bull so fast it�s scary

The mid-range game is more beautiful than I could ever imagine. First I scoffed at it, then I semi-ironically appreciated it but thought it wasn�t sustainable, now I fully believe in the Walking Bucket and use the 😤 emoji liberally

I hope Demar wins the chip if Lowry can't.
