The Gotham Knicks Begin

This is the beginning of the Thibodeau era. A new beginning for the Knicks this century.  His roster brims with previously under-achieving lottery picks, two brand new picks, and a handful of previously underachieving young vets.

Last year's roster, under Mike Miller finished the remaining season playing .500 basketball.  It was loaded with PFs.  This year's quad is loaded with PG-ish guards.  Thibs has said he likes that flexibility.

The odds makers have them pegged at 23.5 wins, I think based on the player to player comparisons with other teams.  As I said, our roster is loaded with under-achievers.

I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to Thibs whose reputation is to get players to reach their potential and sometimes over-achieve.  I think that's worth a ten game swing up, say 34 wins.
