    When they landed Rose and Noah, everybody said they are going to challenge the Cavs for the number 1 seed in the East.

    But it seems like they have no chemistry and still suck ass

    have you seen their bench? it's filled with border line nba players. If they don't significantly upgrade that, no they won't be making the playoffs. That's by far the worst bench in the league.

    IMO, they have the talent. Rose still has a lot left in the tank. Melo and KP are ballers. Lee is solid. Noah is done IMO. Their play so far has been terrible, but there's plenty of time in the season to get it together. But for some reason the Knicks underperform no matter the construction of the roster or who's in the front office.

    TBH the Bulls of last season with Noah and Rose are better than compared to NYK this season with Noah and Rose.
    I can't work out the love of the so called expert commentators about this years NYK. There's nothing I've seen from them to suggest they won't be a lottery side again this year.

    They don't have any chemistry what so ever and they have in of the worst HCs in the league. Oh and they don't give their best player the ball.

    Who said that? You mean the delusional Rose himself who called the Knicks a superteam? Because no analyst in their right mind would think they are a contender.
    I don't think they make the playoffs but battle for top 8 pick in the draft.

    Rose has been regressing significantly, he is not the MVP Rose years ago.

    There's no guidance on this team. no sense of team. there's a reason why everyone seems to be playing for themselves. It's like it runs through the culture of the nyk's. What the knicks have displayed so far this year isn't anything close to an actual NBA team.

    Well you can blame it on Phill mostly, traded Rollo for Drose who can't be a true PG for a lick of basketball, than signed that dumb Noah contract, shoulda kept Rollo and got some semi-decent young pg via FA, i mean, common, against Houston their highest assist guy was Noah with 4. They have no play making and too many alfas, they should be developing Porzigis, but Melo and Rose needs to get their shots before anyone else, hence he ain't gonna see much ball. They're terrible on D, on O, and just worst team in NBA.

    Watching Hornaceks reactions on the sidelines in the Harden highlights video against the Knicks is hilarious. He looks so hopeless.

    It has been a few years now but because he was in Chicago with their media market, FO and fanboys he was constantly excused and hidden.
    But the NY media market is the opposite of Chicago's.

    Which makes me wonder if he continues playing like he has ..how much and WHO will pay him? I don't see any team wanting him as a starter.

    No one will want him at all playing the way he is. He can't shoot from deep and is averaging 2.5 assists per game. He's purely an on-the-ball player that isn't creating for others or scoring efficiently (47.7 TS%). His low assist numbers might have been expected playing in the triangle, except that Jennings is averaging 3.5 assists off the bench. Rose is just a black hole right now.

    Some superduper analysts said YES, but to me looks like they're basically the Rockets of last season without a superstar so, i'd say NO.
