UGH! Please God don't let that even be a real scenario! Sadly it is what you'd expect the Knicks to do but I'm stabbing my Knicks Voodoo doll to try n stop that from happening .

I'll be rooting for the playoffs if it got to that point because you are likely not getting a game changer. It's possible but still unlikely. Having said all that the smart thing to do is root for the lottery because if you root for the playoffs they won't make it. lol.

I have a weird feeling that could go down-
1st of all- Knicks aren't good- but they are better than the record shows- Team has actually been trying to play well and is prideful etc- as the year continues I think they could actually play better together
2nd easy schedule from here on out, compared to the rest of the season
3rd Teams in front of us dismantled or uninspired with mediocrity and actually know how to tank
4th Weird Knicks Voodoo They just do what you don't think or want them to do- It doesn't make sense!@ It's NEW YORK

Too true!!!

There's no way we do playoffs
Even if 39 wins all you need - it could be more like 40
We need to go 16-8 rest of the way including tonight

Not happpening folks

But it would be fitting we end up with like 35 wins just a bit more than last year but not the best position in the draft.

I just looked at the schedule again- it's pretty soft-

Melo is on fire tonight

LOL Melo wants playoffs!

NYK 70 PHI 55

We are running plenty of Triangle and no problem scoring
The issues are not so much system
But ball movement (it can stall) and defensive player movement

Can't believe NY media still tries to spin this season on the Triangle

NYK 74 PHI 57

I just hope Phil is not watching okafor because I do not want to hear of the knicks trying to trade for him in the off-season

Melo is on fire.
