Slow But Steady Signs Of Growth With The NBA’s Knicks
Basketball fans in New York are cautiously optimistic for the first time in what seems like ages. Basketball lovers in the biggest city in the country have been dying to see their beloved Knicks return to a competitive state.
The last decade was no friend to the New York Knicks. In fact, they were decidedly worse than any other sports franchise in the city. Fortunately for their sake, things look as if they may be improving given the fact that they won 17 games through the first half of the year. This may not seem like much, but it’s a very big deal to this team.
At this current rate, they’d win several more games than they did last season. This isn’t the most telling statistic though.
It’s true that the Knicks are on pace to finish the season with another losing record based on their performance thus far, but we have to look at a little more to acknowledge the extent of their recent improvement.
We have to acknowledge the team’s miserable start to the 09-10 year, as they won just three of their first 14 games. As a result, this means that they won 14 of their next 27.
Ever since then, they’ve played basketball with a winning record, something fans haven’t witnessed in ages.
Between David Lee and Wilson Chandler, the team has two young talents that any team would be happy to have. Lee may even make this year’s all star team, as he’s averaging nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds per night.
On top of that, some promising young talent in players like Danilo Gallinari shows that there’s a bright future in New York when you consider the team’s current state. The young Italian player has become one of the best long range shooters in the game.
The pot is sweetened with one more pleasant surprise. The contracts of players like Stephon Marbury and other wastes of money will finally expire after the season finishes up. As a result, New York has every intention to sign one of the big names entering the free agent pool this summer. Things are about to improve even more.
