The New York Knicks lost back to back games this past weekend, falling to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, and the Golden State Warriors Saturday night at the Garden.

I see a big difference in this new group of guys, but aside from Carmello Anthony, there are no big star standouts on the current squad. These are mostly bench players and some 'D leaguers', but they compete night after night.

They barely lost to the Brooklyn Nets, and they fought hard against the Warriors, which is one of the best teams in the league. They also did all of this without Carmello Anthony. The Knicks had two big runs in that game, a 14-2 run in the 2nd quarter, and a 16-0 run in the 4th.

I'm sure Phil Jackson and his coaching staff are looking at this group to choose which players will be back next year.

We know Carmello will be back next year, but aside from that, it's going to be a very interesting to see who comes to New York next season.

Go Knicks!
