Talented Players Are A-OK

... D’Antoni, but he’s going to put the most skillful players on that Garden wood. He’s going to do exactly what every fan and media member was begging Isiah to do last season. Now, we’ll see what kind of talent this roster has. New York deserves that and I like it too. No matter how good or bad this team is, we’re forced to hear a billion stories re: the Knicks. At least this way, there will be some talk about good players making good plays. via [New York Times] Share This
