Some simple facts.

Everyone keeps FREAKING out. Calm yourselves.

Everything will be fine.

Here's why...

1. 40 percent of our starting lineup is not playing. 100 percent of our best player is not playing. Think about it.

2. The team has chemistry issues right now. It's going to take time for these guys to learn to play together. It's early.

3. The schedule has been a b****. Jeff Van Gundy is paying the price to David Stern right now at exactly the wrong time. This would have been one hell of a tough run even if we were healthy and everyone knew how to play together.

I think we should be doing a little better, but what is happening right now should really not be that big of a surprise. If things are still bad a month from now, feel free to go ape****, but they won't be. This is a playoff team that should have the potential to go pretty deep once things settle down.


So relax...they will be fine. Just enjoy the Luther Head show for now. Things are going to get much, MUCH better.
