Doug’s Sports Rap: The Knicks at .500

Only four games into the 2014-15 season and the Knicks are even at 2 and 2.

What does that say about the team? Not much at this point, in fact I'm actually pleased that they re dead even, considering all the new faces on the roster this year.

First, all four of their opponents are playoff caliber teams and with the exception of the first game against Chicago, they were competitive.

What I like so far, I'll start with the obvious Carmello Anthony, a superstar and the teams best player hands down.

I also like Cole Aldrich, Samual Dalembert, the speed of Shane Larkin.

Jason Smith and JR Smith are developing a chemistry in terms of assists, and its nice to see JR setting up his team mates and sharing the ball.

Iman Shumpert has gained confidence and Tim Hardaway Jr will be big for the Knicks this season, regardless if he starts or comes off the bench.

We still haven't seen Jose Calderon, who is out for another week, but aas a key man at the point he will make a difference when he 's ion the game.

Keep in mind this is a team that is still trying to find their identity, so to be 2 and 2 after 4 games is OK by me.
