Ok, so Knicks basketball season is just a mere 48 hours away, and I can't sleep. What can we expect from this years team. After the last few seasons, and the wackiest off season in team history, does anyone really know? Most critics and prognosticators have us as a high 30's low 40's win team.

As for I, Brad Evans, I am a blogger of optimism, at least when it comes to the Knicks. So here are a variety of Knicks predictions for the new season:

• First and foremost, the key to this season is patience on behalf of the fans, it could be bumpy at the start
  
• Zach Randolph will have a better season then Eddy Curry and they will never truly coexist in the paint
• Isiah will not be fired, but Stern, instead of just talking, might put the clamp down on James Dolan (and lets hope so)
  
• Jamal Crawford will have an All Star season (ignore his preseason stats)
  
• Renaldo Balkman and David Lee will continue to be everyones (my) favorite players
• Nate Robinson will win comeback player of the year - potentially replacing Steph at point at some point
• Q Rich, will have incredible games and continue to be a team leader, but more than likely will be injured more than active
• The Knicks city dancers will continue to be glorified strippers
• The Knicks will be a fun team to watch, if not for the dramatic soap opera that is their front office and point guard, then for their play. There will ups and downs, but at the end of the day this team was making the playoffs last year until Jamal and DLee got hurt. Add Zach Randolph, an improved Balkman, Lee and Robinson, a stronger J Craw, a weirder, yet still somewhat effective Stephon and I am looking at 42+ wins, and 5-7 seed in the playoffs. As I assume we will be streaky, no one will want to face us in the first round, so look for the Knicks to upset one team, and make it all the way to the Eastern Conference Semi's, where they will lose to the Pistons in 6 games.
• As always the last bullet goes to Stephon:
• So Steph - How good might the Knicks be?

“ Me being someone who’s played on a several teams with different coaches and a bunch of different guys, this here is definitely one of the best teams I’ve ever played on because of the diversity that we have,” Marbury said. “We have so many guys who can do so many different things. Every night it will be somebody different, and if somebody has it rolling for five or six games, that’s who we’re going to roll with.”
