The Knicks are on a roll and one of the league's hottest team's over the past week. Although beating the Nets is not necessarily the highest achievement, beating Atlnata and Phoenix is no cakewalk.
Earlier this year, we asked our experts what the Knicks record would be if everything went right. The response was a collective 45 wins.
Well, since then virtually nothing has gone right.
Chris Duhon has become a remedial PG, Darko is in exile, Curry - injury-prone, N8 in the doghouse, Chandler playing like a lost rookie, Hill a project at best.
Yet the stellar play of Larry Hughes is raising the team into respectability. Hughes is rapidly moving into one of the top five or ten players to wear the Knicks uniform this decade. For the most die-hard of fans, Hughes is a dinosaur - a two-way player who is gritty and fearless.
Couple that with an All-Star year from David Lee, a rock solid year from Al Harrington, a limited but effective year from Jared Jeffries, and the emergence of Toney Douglas as a wildcard role player and we have the makings of a Knicks team threatening a playoff spot despite a dreadful early season.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
