"That's the New York Knicks, all right," Barkley says.

And although the Knicks have improved with the addition of five-time All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire, Barkley doesn't think they will be a playoff team this season. In fact, Barkley says that Mike D'Antoni's team "won't be better than New Jersey.

"I just don't know how good they can be," Barkley said on the eve of TNT's season-opening broadcast between Boston and Miami. "Can they make the playoffs? I just don't see it."

Barkley, who recently lost 40 pounds and says his goal is to drop another 40, added that Mike D'Antoni has his best team in three years and that one of the keys to its success will be Raymond Felton.
