I don't really think it was made with "WIN NOW!" in mind as much as it was with the future in mind.

and bottom line, even with Carmelo right now, this team isn't better than any of the top teams in the East. if they have a nightmarish playoff outing, I wouldn't waste too much time worrying about it. final FINAL grades will be handed out after a proper training camp and extended run as a unit during the season.

and the L you took was constantly calling for D'Antoni's hate, the same drum you've been beating for years, when the evidence of the lame duck rosters of the last two years couldn't be more obvious, coupled with D'Antoni doing exactly what he should with this roster, at least as far as Ws and Ls are concerned, yet you're desperately trying to find different ways to spin it so you can claim he's deficient somehow.
