These next 3 games in this homestand define if we make a playoff push or not.
All 3 are winnable home games.
Win 3 you're now I think tied for 8th or something like that as the 8th seed is 5 games below .500

I'm torn

A part of me wants to see the team win always
But we win these games and only lose draft position

Anyway let's see how the team views this. Melo has not been playing like a team is in his mind at all. All one on one not much passing. Rose is back tonight as well.

Yeah this stretch is the season on the line. If they can't win then I expect Phil to blow this up.
I never like to see the team lose but in this case it would make the decisions much easier. The draft would be the only logical way to go.

The offense is just horrible. Iso and standing around. The other 29 teams in the league would use KP in pick and roll and get more movement. I have always liked melo but with he and rose together the offense is terrible.

Pathetic
Melo all one on one to start the game
No one is looking to pass
We miss wide open teammates

No defense

The usual for the veteran group of Rose, Lee and Melo.

Wow the Knicks come out disinterested in the game! SMH. I guess they want the rebuild rather than the playoffs LOL 😂

Awful start. It is getting hard to watch this team.

I keep thinking about JVG and MJax talking about how special it was to play in the Garden on Saturday. Where is that for this team? This team had a good home record at one point.

why does the coach keep starting the same guys? At some point, switch things up - send a message.

Although I guess the last time Horacek tried that, Rose went awol.

KP 0-5 ugly

We used to have prideful guys like Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Mason etc. I hoped Noah could help but Rose and Melo are ball dominant and IMO set the tone.
