In case you've been scoring at home, the Knicks over the last seven years have been terrible. They've appeared in four playoff games and won none of them and their combined regular-season record is a sterling 218-356. They've also been stuck in the stone age when it comes to information but since Donnie Walsh has come aboard, those media policies have become a thing of the past.
Proof of that besides the obvious comes from Jamal Crawford blogging for Newsday, which happens to be owned by Cablevision. Perhaps the best evidence is today's episode of Real Training Camp on NBA-TV. If you've ever seen the show, it's an open practice coming into your living room with commentary and today the Knicks were the featured team.
Today's episode saw them do a lot of running which is what the system of new coach Mike D'Antoni is about. In Phoenix he liked to get the shot off in seven seconds or less, whether he can do that here is another story.
One thing that viewers saw is Eddy Curry practice for the first time after being stricken with a 104-degree fever last week. Viewers also saw Stephon Marbury look in the best shape of his career as he prepares for a possible role as a reserve.
The Knicks will probably not very good, maybe somewhere in the 30s in the win department. D'Antoni is throwing it against the wall and see what sticks but the fact that the organization is allowing fans to watch a practice on TV is a step into the modern era even if it's a little late.
