Heading into the season I was A++ excited for 2021 due to two reasons. 1.) Playoffs as a 4 seed last year and 2.) Heading into year #2 under Coach Thibs system.

So far it looks like I was wrong.

We look more like a 60 loss team than a 60 win team.

I admit defeat and I apologize to everyone for being hopeful.

Right now I'll just be excited over a playoff birth moving forward.

Excited to get swept in the first round?

Why?

Fuck that

Why you gotta be such a pessimistic ninny?

Getting to the playoffs is a big goal for any non elite team

Sorry, not interested in getting exposed like last year.

This team has no real all star, our 100m dollar man is a big time dud.

RJ is a bust for a 3rd pick.

Time to reset bud.

You know what 2 teams didn't reset last year at the same point in the season? The Knicks and the Hawks cause you don't fold this easily, ever.

Knicks are playing poorly but there are plenty of games left.

What the hell was exposed last year? I mean, besides coach of the team and MIP who got some MVP consideration? I'm not super huge on RJ but if you gave up on him last year you missed a lot of good games and improvement.

You probably also gave up on the Knicks this time last year too? Did you close your eyes during the later half of the season?

The Knicks got exposed to a team that were a couple of wins away from going to the finals?

Maybe wrong bimut I don't even remember this guy posting all that much during the Knicks run last year. Is he one of those posters who only show up when things are bad?

He posted regularly on a NY Jets messageboard. He got banned for saying something on Twitter that wasn’t even bad. Then I got banned for being right about Zach Wilson

Moral of the story: being a jets fan sucks so much you aren’t even allowed to criticize the team

I Think NYmentality posts when tings are good. Stand up with props for his admitted homerism. But he didn’t really do anything annoying or arrogant.

Philc thinks he was banned for for being right abot Zach Wilson? I think he just annoyed the crap out of the site.

HOmerism in itself is not that bad..

Apologize not accepted. This mess is clearly your fault and I'm requesting that you submit your fandom to the board by the end of the day. Seriously, the day I got worried was the first Chicago game, near the end. The team fucked around in the final minutes to try and get Randle a triple double. Chicago came back and nearly won the game. At that point, I had serious doubts about how seriously this team took the season. They seemed to have a lack of urgency and a sense of entitlement, as if they already arrived. This team isn't good enough to win on talent and Randle still has a lot to prove. He's not good enough to turn it on and off.

No need to apologize. We were all fooled by last season, especially by Randle. Never did I think he would decline this badly. But it's not only him. Is any vet playing as well as last season? Nope. Rose/Burks/Noel are not having the same impact. RJ has declined too. IQ has stayed the same pretty much. Only Obi has improved. And Kemba has been a huge bust and Fournier is not impacting the game overall as well as Bulloch did.

All we can do is hope for the best. I have a lot of trust and believe in Thibs but he's is not a miracle worker. The only way this turns around is if Randle magically returns to last seasons form and is followed by RJ shooting 40% from three consistently and Noel starts anchoring the defense like he did last season. I honestly don't see it.

A trade would help too. I really hope we have something lined up for Kemba on Wednesday. We need a trade that will bring in a vet who can spark the team like Rose did last season. Not sure what is out there.

But if I had to predict the outcome right now, I think we're looking at a 10th seed, play-in tournament at best.
