It is not improvement

Considering the talent level and the coaching staff (I can think of no other team that has seven coaching assistants plus a hall of fame coach), NY's two game road win streak comes more as a relief than a surprise.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they won, I simply expect them to win some games. And though Brown purposefully destroyed the Knicks with 40 different starting lineups this season so that he could later build back up their confidence, this team is better than the Media permits. And if you want to start pointing fingers to explain the fact that Conan O'Brian and Tina Fey's jokes are regularly directed at New York's current basketball misery, blame underachieving, over-rated, sorry ass, pre-game mcnugget eating Curry for not living up to his potential due to a simple deficiency in effort. Blame Larry for his failure to recognize that David Lee is better than both Mo Taylor and Qyntel Woods. Do not blame Stephon, who seems to be on his way out of Gotham now that both players and coaches no longer have his back (thanks Steven A!). Finally, do not blame Isiah, who has put together a roster of incredible talent albeit mismatched and devoid of chemistry -that is until about four games ago.
