GREENBURGH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — No bold predictions from the New York Knicks. No real predictions at all, actually.
“To be quite honest, I don’t really have any expectations at this time,” Carmelo Anthony said.
Maybe he shouldn’t. He’s never played with most of his teammates and the ones who were Knicks last season didn’t exactly distinguish themselves, as New York went 17-65 in its worst year ever.
But media day is usually a time for high hopes and fresh starts, when players and coaches speak confidently about how good things can be. Just last year, Knicks President Phil Jackson even said he thought his team would compete for a playoff spot.
